A Mexican church showcases its massive 2000lb statue of Christ — and it resembles the 80s’ look of Phil Collins.
The New York Post unveils the massive sculpture which stands at almost 22ft tall and weighs 2000lbs, located at La Epifania del Señor church in the Mexican state of Zacatecas.

The local priest, Humberto Rodriguez says,
“There is a space of between 26ftt 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.”
But the local priest had nothing to say about the resemblance of the statue to the former Genesis drummer.
The previous record-holder for the biggest statue of baby Jesus was 16ft tall and weighed 661lbs. Reportedly, Rodriguez contacted the Guinness World Records to break that record and claim the title.
Recently, (Nov. 22), Collins re-issued his fourth solo album …But Seriously in celebration of its 30th anniversary.
The new release version of But Seriously arrived through Rhino Records featuring limited 1000 double-LP sets, including 12-track follow-up to 1985’s No Jacket Required pressed on turquoise vinyl.
