A 21-foot-tall statue of baby Jesus in Mexico has become an internet sensation as netizens are contemplating whom does it resemble more, Nicolas Cage or pop star Phil Collins. The 2,000-pound giant sculpture was built for the La EpifanÍa del Señor church in Zacatecas and artist Román Salvador Barrueto and his team created the statue after being commissioned by the church. The statue has big blue eyes, full cheeks and a receding hairline which inspired the comparison of the statue with celebrities.
According to international media reports, the Guinness World Records said that if the statue is approved for submission then it will officially be declared the world's largest. A local priest, Humberto Rodriguez told the media that there was a space between 26 feet between the ceiling and the floor and that is why he ordered a statue measuring 21feet, however, he never intended to make it the biggest baby Jesus statue in the world.
