An Angelina Jolie super-fan underwent 50 surgeries in order to look like her idol -but she was not the first person to go to extreme lengths to emulate their hero.
While Sahar Tabar, 19 and from Tehran, Iran, dreamed of looking like Angelina, twin brothers Matt and Mike Schlepp, from Arizona, spent £15,000 on cosmetic surgery in a bid to look like her ex-partner Brad Pitt.
The pair endured months of agonising procedures that left them unable to eat proper meals as they desperately tried to change their appearance.

Speaking on the show, Matt said: ‘It was more than worth it.
‘I would do it ten times over. It has definitely helped me get more girls. I’ll walk and get that double-take from girls and hear the whispering that follows.
‘I’ve had such a dramatic change that girlfriends I hadn’t seen in a while couldn’t stop staring, and said they wanted to cry! If that doesn’t make you feel good, then what would?’

Mike added: ‘I never knew that I could be as happy as I am right now.
‘I feel on top of the world by the few tweaks that I went through. Go through with the surgery now because you don’t want to go through life always feeling down with the way that you look.’
Ms Tabar hit the headlines this week after pictures of her apparent transformation emerged online.
Belgian media has reported that she has undergone 50 procedures to look like her idol Jolie – but fans claim she creates the incredible looks just by using make-up and clever prosthetics.
However not all of the feedback from her 318,000 Instagram followers is positive, with some likening her to a ‘zombie’ or a ‘corpse’.
