But, everything changes if you take another look.

“This picture is not what you think it is,” he said.

When looking directly at the image, he said: “It looks like a pretty normal painting.”

But, try turning your phone to the left.

“You’ll see something pretty surprising,” he said.

Once the picture is turned to the left, you will see an image of a man known as Rick Astley, in his suit from the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up.

This music video has been frequently used for memes, and its surprise appearance online has earned the name Rick Roll.

“Once you see it, you can’t unsee it,” said HecticNick.

Many viewers loved the optical illusion trick, saying: “I got Rickrolled and I didn’t even notice.”

Others said that using Astley’s music at the end of the video gave the illusion away.
