Justin Trudeau's Wax Statue Isn't Exactly Impressing Users On Twitter

"They got his face all wrong."

A Montreal wax museum unveiled its statue of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Tuesday, but many people have pointed out it looks nothing like Justin Trudeau.

Some wax sculpture critics on Twitter said the Grevin Wax Museum's latest inanimate resident resembled certain actors:

Others said the wax statue, sculpted by Paris-based artist Eric Saint Chaffray, seemed to portray ... alternate versions of the prime minister:

Is it just me or does the wax statue of Justin Trudeau look more like a future Trudeau when the stress catches up with him at the end of his term and actually starts looking his age?

The Trudeau wax figure is like one of those nightmares where you think it's him from behind but you turn it around and the face is all wrong https://t.co/FI0BOhTqvr

But mostly users just wanted to share their general (critical) thoughts on the statue:

Stop it, musée Grévin. You're drunk. #JustinTrudNOPEpic.twitter.com/kXr7WlwVt9

We can all agree, however, that the statue got one thing extremely right: the socks.
