Last year, the Internet was horrified when an Iranian teenager claimed she had undergone 50 surgeries in just a few months to look like her idol, actress Angelina Jolie.
The results were terrifying:
Then 19-year-old Sahar Tabar said she was willing “to do anything” to look like Jolie, including dropping weight to become frighteningly thin.
“Do not be afraid to be different,” Tabar said on Instagram, where she has more than 300,000 followers.
A month after her story went viral, Tabar told Russia’s Sputnik news that the images were due to prosthetics, Photoshop, and some amazing makeup skills.
“No, of course. This is Photoshop and makeup,” she told Sputnik. “Every time I publish a photo, I paint my face in an increasingly funny way. It is a way of expressing yourself, a kind of art. My fans know that this is not my real face.”
Tabar said she never intended to look like Jolie or a “Rotting Bride,” but now she’s embraced the looks.
On Tuesday, about eight months after her story first went viral, Tabar has revealed what she really looks like.
She has apparently admitted to having a “nose job, enlarged mouth, and liposuction,” according to the New York Post, but the rest is from Photoshop and makeup.
