Ryan Gosling’s new wax statue is, quite frankly, absolutely terrifying

To put it lightly, the following image is the stuff of nightmares.

I'm sure having a wax statue of yourself installed in Madam Tussaud's is a great honour, one bestowed only on the most talented and famous in show business. A sure sign that you've truly 'made it.' We've seen many good, bad and ugly wax figures erected in the iconic wax museum including those of Justin Bieber, Taylor Swift and Michael Jackson. The newest wax statue getting serious attention is one of La La Land star Ryan Gosling, paying homage to the multitalented 36-year-old actor. Reportedly shown to the public for the first time in Berlin, the eyes, goatee and overall stance just seem a bit creepy and not at all like the charismatic chap we've come to know Ryan as. Of course it's important to remember that it is just a wax statue, but when you see it you'll fail to understand how on earth they got this so wrong...

Ryan Gosling's new wax figure is...okay, it's actually terrifying. (?: Tristar Media/ @gettyentertainment)

I mean, it looks like Ryan Gosling, but when you look at Ryan Gosling you don't feel like he's actually a killer robot, or some kind of soul-stealing ghoul. He's still a handsome dude, though, so we don't think this wax figure will be tempering anyone's man crush on ol' Gozzer. On the other hand, we'll never sleep again. Swings and roundabouts.
