Hollywood star Timothee Chalamet is the latest celebrity to be immortalized in wax at the Madame Tussauds tourist attraction in London.
The Wonka star’s waxwork debuts dressed in Alexander McQueen nails, donated by the fashion house, with boots provided by Chalamet himself.
The actor was photographed wearing the outfit at the London premiere of Dune in 2021.
The 28-year-old actor’s first figure of the attraction will go on display on May 24, following the box office triumph of sci-fi epic Dune: Part Two earlier this year.
Chalamet rose to prominence in 2017 for his roles in Lady Bird and Call Me By Your Name.
Most recently he appeared in Netflix’s Don’t Look Up, Bones And All and as the title character in Roald Dahl’s famous chocolatier Willie Wonka’s musical story in Wonka last year.
It took nine months to create the figure, which involved painstakingly placing every single hair from the star’s famous curls.
Jo Kinsey, studio director at Madame Tussauds London, described Chalamet as “elegant, talented and unafraid to show emotion off-screen”, adding: “Chalamet challenges what it means to be a leading man in Hollywood in 2024.
“His ability to portray a variety of characters that are relatable, relatable and vulnerable, while also breaking the expected social norms himself as a male Hollywood star in the audience, is why he is a constant talking point and why his fans love him. .
“We are honored to capture him in London and be the first to sculpt and style these famous cheekbones.”
Chalamet joins Hollywood stars at the attraction, including Dune co-star Zendaya and Don’t Look Up Leonardo DiCaprio.
