This optical illusion of Zoolander is messing with people’s heads everywhere

It's really freaky...

Who doesn’t love a good optical illusion?

Every now and again we uncover an optical illusion which is making people seriously scratch their heads.

The last one we had was a picture of an intersection of grey lines on a white background, with 12 black dots in various places where the lines meet.

All 12 dots are on the picture but the vast majority of people were unable to see them at the same time because their eyes’ stimulated light receptors can sometimes influence the ones next to them.

The latest picture leaving seriously people confused is a black and white picture of Derek Zoolander.

The optical illusion and smoky effect of the photo means that when people squint at the photo (or stand back and look at it sideways) a woman’s face appears.

People online just could not get their heads around the strange photo and made jokes about it seems to contain two people.

On a Facebook post that uploaded the same image, commenters were also losing their shit. Most were tagging their friends to make sure they were seeing the same thing

Another – inevitably – claimed that he could see Harambe, adding: “If this is how alcohol works I want it all.”
