Robert Pattinson’s wax figures were unveiled in New York and London on Thursday. Twihards and assorted Pattinson fans were able to hug, kiss, fondle — but not scratch, break, or mutilate — the life-sized statue, which includes beard stubble, scruffy hair and all.
The waxwork reportedly cost $223,000. How much of that was spent on Pattinson’s carefully misarranged hairdo is unclear.
Now, does Pattinson in wax look like Pattinson in (the) flesh? Or at least like Edward in the flesh under all that white face-powder? Well, not really, I don’t think. You can tell it’s him, but for one thing I don’t recall the real Pattinson’s eyes being that slanted.
Madame Tussauds spokesperson Liz Edwards explained that “R-Pattz is one of the hottest celebs on the planet. We are delighted to be able to give them the chance to cosy up with their idol here at Madame Tussauds and judging by the reactions of the first to meet him here this morning he is set to top our ‘most kissed list of celebrities very quickly!’"
