The true story about the ‘Angelina Jolie-lookalike’

We’ve written a lot in the past about people who would do anything to achieve their dream look.

Suffice it to say that Sahar Tabar from Teheran has taken things one step further.

The Iranian Instagrammer, who calls herself Sahar Tabar, gained massive online fame and caused quite the stir after sharing some pictures of herself back in 2017. The photos Shahar shared were drastically different from anything you normally see online – and shocked a lot of people.

According to Turkish media, she’s had more than 50 plastic surgeries, as well as lost 90 pounds in order to obtain the look she wants.

More than 400,000 people soon started following Sahar’s transformation on Instagram – and she made sure to keep everyone updated on her progress.

As she became world-famous, a local newspaper wrote that Sahar Tabar had only one dream with her transformation: To look like the actress Angelina Jolie.

But according to Sahar, whose real name is Fatemah Khishvand, that was never her goal. The Angelina rumor was not true; it wasn’t her intention to look like the Hollywood megastar. Others thought Sahar looked like Emily the Corpse Bride, a character in Tim Burton’s stop-motion movie Corpse Bride.

“I had no interest at all to be like Angelina Jolie, and I did not want to look like the character from “Corpse Bride”. I understand that I do have some similarities with them, but I am my own muse and I did not want to look like anyone. That was not my aim,” Sahar told Sputnik News in 2017.
