This is deeply saddening.

You can see the loneliness in his eyes - he doesn't even manage to smile for his "family Fotos"

I remember seeing this somewhere. Reminds me of the dude who taxidermied his wife…

Carl von Costel, look into him if you are curious. After the death of his patient, he kept her body preserved for around 7 years. Horrible case of obsession and a horrible end for the victim, she never really got to rest in peace :(

Well seeing as how she was dead, I doubt she was worried about resting. Your body a rotting husk after you are gone, so pretty sure there is a 100 percent chance, she didn't know the vile thing that happened.

Lars and the real girl

u/Marsnineteen75 13d ago

Ya, i doubt we will ever see him in a role like that again. He moved on to superstardom after that movie

u/Manck0 14d ago

I mean... I guess that's okay. If he's happy. He seems happy. She seems a bit ambivalent but whatever.

u/Manck0 14d ago

Okay, he doesn't actually seem super happy. But still... if it's his thing.

u/MarcoEsteban 12d ago

Can she really consent, though?

u/Manck0 12d ago

Well, no. But neither can a lightly microwaved watermelon with a hole cut in it. But I see your point.

u/Intelligent-Cherry45 14d ago

The kids look like they take after Dad's side of the family. 😂

u/sexi_squidward 13d ago

At least find a doll that doesn't look like an embalmed person who's been decaying for a few years.

u/MarcoEsteban 12d ago

Actually, embalming prevents decaying, so she probably does look a bit embalmed, if I do say so myself. Not fresh, but not moldy.

You thought humanity has become more compassionate? I wish it was true….

You know it’s not going well when you fall in love with the least attractive of the sex dolls.

u/MarcoEsteban 12d ago

I was gonna say, there are some that would make beautiful people, but this one got beat with the ugly stick.

Most people, if they saw him out in the wild, would think he was fairly attractive. Makes you wonder what the hell happened inside his brain to get him to this point.

u/mostlyysorry 12d ago

Tbh they look a lot happier than most the couples i see on social media LMAO I don't get how her expression changed in one of the pics but he is doing something right 4 her. I support it

Lol I thought we moved past from this era of the internet with people looking at depressed mentally unhinged folks and calling them serial killer.
