Is this what the actual body and face of Jesus Christ look like?

For centuries, the Shroud of Turin has remained a mystery, but now experts have recreated what they believe to be the mystery man under the shroud. The hyper-realistic sculpture, made of latex, silicon, and real human hair, has been based on data collected from the famous shroud. The exhibition showcases various paintings and items that illustrate the last days of Jesus’ life, culminating in the unveiling of the life-sized model of the mystery man. While the exhibition is not claiming that this is the figure of Jesus Christ, it invites visitors to come to their own conclusion. The exhibition is now touring the world and hopes to leave a profound impact on those who visit.
