What was the purpose of Zombie Boy in the Born This Way video?

[Anastasia 6,093]

I've always wondered.

Something visually interesting to garner shock and attention while proclaiming to be yourself

Spoiler

Idk honestly

Ummm he matched Zombygagas scene plus he looked cool. Maybe some "he is the way he is he's never gonna change" thing.She needs to bring him back for future projects.

I think she said in some old interview that this scene was thrown in at the very end late in the night because she was so inspired by him, but he was only supposed to be the "new race" she was birthing at the beginning of the video when he's covered in the weird plastic sheet thing.

You define your own beauty.

Arouse us?

He embodies the idea of expressing yourself () however you want to. Don't allow yourself to be defined by other's expectations of you. "Born This Way" itself is about choosing for yourself how you were meant to be. Genest chose to get his tattoos because of Bazooka bubblegum. For him, it was simple, yet other people wonder what the **** he was thinking when he did all that to his body.

To show that Born This Way isn't about you were born like that and you should be like that cause you were born that way. But that you define what you are, and you should be what you wanna be. Cause you were "born that way" - born to be that. If this makes sense. 

So if you wanna get plastic surgery, go ahead, you were "born that way", it's your choice and you should wear it with pride.

Probably just because he looks cool, let's be real.

[AndyDWUW 3,971]

Because he's hot AF too ,

apart from him being an example of embracing your own beauty and defining yourself

finally someone understands what was BTW's message... I mean some people here still dont get it even tho Gaga explained this countless times... if she did a nose job a boob job or anything like that, that would be the most Born This Way thing from Gaga ever

Because Marry the Night was going to be the original single and he was hired as a part of the Marry the music video.  But they decided tom keep him anyways with the single change.

He looks weird and is brave  about it. He is like metaphor for expressing yourself and your weirdness etc etc.
