Mbappé’s Reaction to Seeing His Wax Statue

Kylian Mbappé couldn’t hide his surprise and excitement when he discovered his new wax statue at Madame Tussauds in London. "It's me! Amazing, magnificent!" were some of the words the Real Madrid forward exclaimed upon seeing the figure that resembles him perfectly. The statue, which will be displayed to the public starting April 4, shows him in the French national team jersey and his signature pose with arms crossed over his chest, a look that has become his trademark.

"The artists who created this figure are incredibly talented. The hair, the pose, everything is perfect. It's like looking at myself in the mirror. It's surreal!" said Mbappé, who couldn’t stop marveling at the fine details, from the clothing to the new shoes featured in the statue.

Honored to Be Part of Madame Tussauds

Mbappé, who already has two other wax statues in the Musée Grévin in Paris and the Madame Tussauds in Berlin, expressed his gratitude and excitement for being part of the "Madame Tussauds family." "It's a great honor. I'm so happy to see the final result. This is a big day for me," said the forward.

The creation of the statue was the result of several months of collaborative work between Mbappé and the museum’s team of artists. During the process, hundreds of measurements were taken, and multiple adjustments were made to ensure the figure captured the contagious energy of the footballer accurately.

London, a Special Place for Mbappé

During his visit, Mbappé also took the opportunity to highlight his love for the city of London. "I really enjoy visiting the city, trying its food, experiencing its culture... It’s always a pleasure to travel, and London is one of the best cities in the world," said the player, adding that he especially enjoys the vibrant culture the British capital offers.

In addition to the wax statue in London, Mbappé also fondly remembered his visit to Berlin, where Madame Tussauds had already displayed a figure of him last year. "It looks more like Kylian than me," he joked at that time, showing his characteristic sense of humor.

The wax figure of Mbappé is a tribute to his massive success and popularity, not only as a footballer but also as a cultural icon. From his early days with Paris Saint-Germain to his recent transfer to Real Madrid, Mbappé has solidified his status as one of the brightest stars in world football.
