Real Madrid star Kylian Mbappe was stunned when he first laid eyes on his wax statue for the Madame Tussauds museum, reports the Daily Mail. To the Frenchman's surprise, the replica was crafted with intricate detail and bore an uncanny resemblance to him.
Dressed in the French national team kit, the wax figure of Kylian Mbappe looks incredibly realistic and could easily be mistaken for the real deal! Even the footballer himself admitted that the figure is 100% him.
It is worth noting, according to L'Equipe, that it took four hours of facial and physical data analysis to accurately capture all his features.
“It's a big honour. I want to say thanks to all the people who worked on it as part of the project because it's a big achievement for me, a big honour to be part of the Madame Tussauds family. I'm really happy, even more after seeing the results. It's amazing, I'm really proud to be here to see this. It's a big day for me. It's a perfect job and I'm really happy with the results,” said Mbappe.
Additionally, this wax figure was made specifically for the Madame Tussauds Museum in London.
