Sorry Internet But The Christina Ricci Morticia Addams Photo Is A Fake

We all so badly wanted to believe it was real, but sadly the picture of Christina Ricci dressed as Morticia Addams has been revealed to be a fake. The pic spread like wildfire across the internet on Monday, with excited fans getting all emotional over Ricci channeling her onscreen mom.

But according to [Yahoo movies](https://uk.movies.yahoo.com/post/129574070751/internets-jaw-drops-at-image-of-christina-ricci) the pic is a big old fake, thanks to some clever photoshopping. The picture is actually a publicity still of [Anjelica Huston](https://contactmusic.6lgx.com/anjelica-huston) (who played Morticia Addams), from the ‘90s, with Ricci’s head edited over Houston’s. **More:[ Christina Ricci Gives Birth To Baby Boy](http://www.contactmusic.com/christina-ricci/news/christina-ricci-gives-birth-to-baby-boy_4318263)** Before fans realised the image wasn't all it seemed, they gleefully took to twitter to express their joy and amazement over the pic. ‘Everything now comes to a screeching halt because Christina Ricci is dressed like Morticia Addams,’ wrote one happy fan on twitter. While another added, ‘Christina Ricci as Morticia Addams. What a time to be alive.’ Of course just because the photo has been revealed to be a fake doesn't mean we still can’t enjoy it. After all it ispretty amazing and an _Addam’s Family_ reboot with an older Ricci as the family matriarch sounds like a brilliant idea. Ricci starred as Wednesday Addams in _The Addams Family_ in 1991, when she was 11 and its sequel _Addams Family Values_ 1993 at aged 13. The actress has since gone on to appear in films such as _Sleepy Hallow_ and _Monster_, as well as TV biopic _Lizzie Borden Took an Axe_. **More: [Christina Ricci's 'Lizzie Borden Took An Ax' TV Movie Looks Awesome](http://www.contactmusic.com/christina-ricci/news/christina-ricci-lizzie-borden-has-an-ax-lifetime-tv-movie_3961085)** But for fans who are feeling a bit let down after being duped by the image, remember, Halloween is just over a month away and the internet may just have given Christina Ricci the best costume idea ever!
