A TEEN who claimed she had undergone 50 surgeries to look like her idol Angelina Jolie has admitted she faked the whole thing to "amuse" herself.

Sahar Tabar had been called a "zombie" by cruel viewers after her gaunt Instagram selfies went viral.

But, as The Sun Online reported last week, many more viewers had a hunch that the teenage superfan may be using Photoshop to tweak her pictures.

And now 19-year-old Sahar has come clean and admitted that her shocking, emaciated look is not real.

Rather than a result of surgery or drastic weight loss, the Iranain teen's look was created through a combo of make-up magic and computer wizardry.

Sahar told Sputnik : “Now I can see that I have something in common with (Angelina Jolie), but I amuse myself, and to look like someone is not my goal."

She added that her look, characterised by hollow cheeks, inflated, pouting lips and bright, blue eyes, shouldn't be taken at face value.

Sahar, who reportedly also dropped 40kg as part of her transformation, said: "Over time I post a photo, I make my face more fun and funny, it is a form of self-expression, a kind of art.

"My fans know that this is not my real face.”

Now, un-touched photos have emerged which allegedly show the Instagram star without her make-up and contacts.

Teen Sahar Tabar undergoes 50 surgeries in bid to look like Angelina Jolie but is branded a ‘zombie’ instead

Sahar looks startlingly normal in the pics, posted on her second Instagram account back in October.

It's a far cry from the "zombie" selfies which saw the young woman compared to the Corpse Bride.

Suspicion emerged around her photos after an eagle-eyed viewer claimed one of her more extreme selfies had been edited in Photoshop.

The warped background and odd lines in the shot suggest that it has been tweaked using a computer.
