A Reddit user has discovered a marble statue that looks like Ron Swanson -- exactly like Ron Swanson.

On display at the Walnut Street Theater in Philadelphia, the statue actually depicts Shakespearean actor Edwin Forrest, whose his career began at the Walnut Street Theater in 1820, per MTV News.
The outlet spoke with the theater’s communications manager, Amy Rodgers, who said it's mostly young people who notice the six-ton statue’s resemblance to the TV character.
"Usually it’s the younger crowd during tours, saying, 'Oh my god, it’s Ron Swanson!'" she said.
