Phil Collins.

A church in Mexico.

A statue of the baby Jesus that many are saying resembles the famous musician.

I can’t say I care much for this, but perhaps it’s worth taking a closer look at the 6,7 metre, 900-kilogram sculpture that could break the world record for biggest baby Jesus statue ever.

Yes, there is a world record for that.

From the Guardian:

Sculpted by Roman Salvador, the work was only intended to “fit the church” in the town of Guadalupe, a local priest, Humberto Rodriguez, told Central European News.

“There is a space of between 26ft between the ceiling and the floor and I ordered a statue measuring 21ft, but I never intended to make it the biggest baby Jesus statue in the world,” he said.

However, he did not comment on the inadvertent likeness to Collins, which people were quick to point out as images of the statue began to spread online.

A side-by-side and it’s clear to see:

Wow. My immediate thought here is who gives a single, flying f*ck about this?

But you’re here, reading this, so we’ll do another side-by-side:

You’ll see that the statue is on the right this time. How about that?

One more time, for those who stuck around:

Praise be.

Alright, that’s quite enough.

Hang on – plot twist! Phil Collins or…

I can’t pretend I care any longer, so goodbye.
