Phil Collins, with his band Genesis, once performed a song called “Jesus He Knows Me.” He may have been onto something.

A sculpture of baby Jesus erected inside a Mexican church apparently looks a lot like the now-68-year-old British musician.

With its tufts of brown hair and similar facial features, the 20-foot-tall statue has garnered international attention for its “uncanny” resemblance to Collins, although many others on social media have argued that the 2,000-pound creation looks more like American actor Nicolas Cage.

“I don’t know if something’s in the air tonight, but this Baby Jesus looks a lot like Phil Collins,” wrote one user.

“Church in Mexico builds huge baby Jesus statue — that looks like Brit singer Phil Collins. Uncanny,” wrote another.

“Nicolas Cage or Baby Jesus,” pondered one of many users drawing parallels between the two.

6. You know what's really funny

For a couple of years I volunteered for that job at the local Catholic church carnival, and I'm not even Catholic.
