Tomb Raider star Angelina Jolie was left petrified when she was attacked by a crazed look-alike fan at the premiere of her action movie Salt in Moscow.
Jolie, 35, was grabbed by the deranged, tattooed stalker as she walked up the red carpet, but she somehow managed to wrench herself free with minders pulling the attacker away.
“Angelina looked petrified as she tried to wrestle herself from the woman’s grip,” the Daily Star quoted an onlooker as saying.
Meanwhile, fans were worried about the actress’ health when enlarged veins in her bony arms were exposed during a trip to Tokyo.
They feared her punishing promotional schedule was taking its toll.

UK woman, 56, slowest to swim Channel
London: A 56-year-old British woman is said to have broken the world record as the slowest person to swim the English Channel. Jackie Cobell took an epic 28 hours 44 minutes; she was forced off course so much, she ended up swimming 64 miles — three times further than the 21-mile direct route from Dover to Calais, the Daily Express reported.
The previous slow record of 26 hours 50 minutes was set by Henry Sullivan in 1923.
“I had no idea of the time. I kept seeing the beach and thinking I was nearly there, then the tide would sweep me along the coast. My arms were packing up, one of my muscles in my arms ripped, but I was determined to make it,” she said
