Despite the photo Sarah Paulson posted on Twitter of her new character on American Horror Story, the actress is insisting that this is not what she will actually look like.

Paulson spoke with Vulture this week about her much buzzed-about upcoming character in American Horror Story: Freak Show, which is a two-headed person identifying as Dot and Bette. While she provided a photo in her big Twitter post, she told Vulture that this is not a confirmation on what the character(s) are set to look like.

"Everyone thinks that is the character of Dot and Bette in terms of the way I look - that's just what the company came up with [to] digitally show the two heads to [showrunner] Ryan [Murphy]. They used a picture of me as Lana Winters [from American Horror Story: Asylum] because it was in the period. So that's not what I'll actually look like as Dot and Bette," she revealed.

Paulson also said that she has been keeping her new character a secret since way back when she was in the middle of filming American Horror Story: Coven.

"I know how much people want to know and how much they actually like to be surprised, and I knew that I could never do anything until Ryan told me that I could and once I got the go-ahead."

With American Horror Story having such a high death count over the course of its three seasons, Paulson admitted, "I just don't want to be the one who gets killed, you know?"

Luckily for her, none of her characters have been killed off in the three seasons she has appeared in the show. In addition to playing Lana Winters in Asylum, she played witch headmistress Cordelia Foxx in Coven and psychic Billie Dean Howard in the show's first season, Murder House.

American Horror Story: Freak Show premieres in October on FX. The network has not yet announced an official premiere date.
