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 among 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 Cheryl, 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 sounder we've come to know Ryan as. Of course it's important to remember that it is just a wax statue, 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)

Upon seeing pictures of the slightly ill-fated wax figure which is supposed to look like Ryan, people on Twitter couldn't believe how strange the mannequin looked.

We know God broke the mould when he made Ryan Gosling, but dang. Look what Madame Tussauds Berlin did. What do you think? ?
