A London-based artist has created this terrifying hyper-realistic Joker bust.

35-year-old Baris Kareli has been a professional model maker since 2013.

The unbelievable footage features a time-lapse showcasing one and a half months of his incredibly detailed work.

Baris even enlisted the help of a professional hairstylist and hair puncher, as well as fitting his sculpture with 3D eyes, making his version of Joaquin Phoenix's Joker look SO real.

Baris told Newsflare: "I was heartbroken after I watched the Joker movie scene where Arthur is pulling his mouth to make his face smile.

"Then I decided to make that scene to remind me to put a smile on my face."

The 2019 movie was a box-office sensation, with 11 nominations in the 92nd Academy Awards on Sunday (February 9), including a Best Actor win for Joaquin Phoenix's interpretation of the iconic "Joker".
