In the age of filters, it is difficult to tell what is real and what is not. People use several applications such as FaceApp to alter their appearance. An amusing example is a man in his 50s who has been passing himself off as a young woman on social media.

The unnamed man, from Japan, has posted several selfies on Twitter and Instagram under the name @zaitaku_iyada. The pictures show him going about his day, at work, on trips or relaxing at home.

While others who have used his tactic have attempted to hide their real identity, @zaitaku_iyada hasn't. He has shared some photos of himself using the filter while standing in front of the mirror, which reveals his actual reflection.

"FaceApp, I'm addicted to it, and I'm uploading my selfie photos with cute processing. You can also improve the tips and processing methods for taking selfies. I'm an uncle in his 50s who usually works from home," he told his followers on Instagram.

Earlier this year, it was revealed that a young female biker in Japan, with a massive social media following, was actually a 50-year-old man who used FaceApp to morph a woman's face on his own as he believed that "no one wanted to see an old uncle."
