Iran’s creepy “Zombie Angelina Jolie” lookalike has revealed her real face following her release from prison.
Sahar Tabar, 21, has finally unmasked herself after fooling the world with her dramatic features for a number of years. She was dubbed a dead ringer for Tomb Raider star Angelina-as well as being branded a “zombie” and “corpse bride.”
The social media maven was rumored to have undergone at least 50 surgeries to achieve the ghoulish look that earned her thousands of followers. But now she has admitted that her photos were just manipulated with the help of Photoshop, the picture altering app.
Sahar spent 14 months behind bars in the desert lockup at Qarchak, which is known as “the worst prison in Iran for women.”
She was arrested in October 2019 for crimes including blasphemy and promoting public corruption due to her social media antics.
The 21-year-old-real name Fatemeh Khishvand-has now admitted that she never went under the knife to achieve her terrifying appearances. Instead, the computer whizz says she doctored her snaps in the hopes of gaining international fame with a fake macabre makeover.
She told a state-run news outlet: “What you saw on Instagram was the computer effects I used to create the image.”
Explaining she “wanted to be famous since I was a child,” she believed that “cyberspace was an easy way. It was much easier than becoming an actor.”
But she wants to dial back her online presence following her legal woes. “I’m sure I will not even put Instagram on my phone anymore, let alone have a page,” she said.
The Instagrammer said: “My mother was telling me to stop, but I didn’t listen. Sometimes the words of a stranger or a friend can be more important than those of a parent.”
