In the age of delusional filters, free editing applications, and photoshop, nothing and no one should be trusted. Well, if you still don’t believe this then go on and read about this beautiful biker who has been fooling people online by using FaceApp and Photoshop.
The supposedly young Japanese motorcyclist garnered a lot of attention and certainly a lot of followers on her social media for her appearance. But turns out that the person who people thought was a pretty lady was actually a 50-year-old uncle.
Looking at her Twitter account named @azusagakuyuki, one might see ‘her’ posting scores of pictures and expressing her love for bikes and bike riding.

But it was only after her follower’s close inspection that everyone got to know about the real face behind the photoshopped one. According to NDTV, people suspected foul play when they noticed a reflection of a middle-aged man in the rear-view mirror in one of her pictures.
Soon after, several Japanese media outlets tried to unmask her with one being successful at the task. Pictures shared on Facebook show a crew of a Japanese show confronting the popular biker. That’s when his real personality was revealed as that of a 50-year-old man.

The man reportedly said he kept his identity a secret and transformed as a woman as “nobody wanted to see an uncle on social media”. He further explained that after he posted a picture of himself as a woman, he gained a thousand followers online. That’s when he decided to alter his appearance dramatically and continue posting pictures of him as a woman to enjoy all the attention and limelight.
Well, now you know why they say, looks, especially on social media can be deceptive.
