Lukas Hernandez, defender for the French national team and PSG, immortalized his 2018 World Cup victory with an extraordinary work of art. The footballer has become a trending topic on social media with a giant red gorilla statue, the work of famous French sculptor Richard Orlinski.
Idman.Biz reports that the statue, commissioned by Hernandez, is from the artist's famous "Wild Kong" series. The statue's uniqueness lies in the fact that it is wearing a French national team jersey with the footballer's name and number 21 on it, and it is holding a miniature replica of the World Cup in its hand.
The footballer's choice to share the moment the statue was brought home was not unanimously received by fans. While some viewers called it "strange," most appreciated the athlete's creative approach to his career's greatest achievement, even though eight years have passed.
