"Crowds of screaming fans will flood Times Square to help unveil a wax figure of Hollywood heartthrob Robert Pattinson" reads the announcement for the Madame Tussauds New York event on Thursday, March 25 at 10:30 a.m. at 234 West 42nd St. (b/w 7th & 8th Aves.).
But will they scream in ecstasy or in horror?
Either way, following the unveiling fans will be able to pose next to the statue and even give it a hug if they don't find it too creepy. Once Pattinson's fans are all waxed out, the Twilight Saga and Remember Me actor will join Johnny Depp, George Clooney, Sean “Diddy” Combs and Leonardo DiCaprio at Madame Tussauds New York.
The text below is from the Robert Pattinson wax figure's Facebook page:
Pattinson’s figure is dressed in black trousers and fitted shirt. A jacket in a contrasting color finishes off his young, hip look. R-Pattz’s wax likeness also sports the actor’s signature tousled locks, which fans are invited to run their fingers through. Each strand of hair was inserted one-by-one by the Tussauds studio artists, who created the figure. They spent hundreds of hours studying photos and watching video footage of Pattinson to create the incredibly lifelike figure, which is posed standing up with hands on hips and will be housed in the “Opening Night Party” section of Madame Tussauds New York.
The first 100 fans who arrive to see R-Pattz’s figure on the day it is unveiled will receive free Pattinson and Twi-hard gear, as well as free admission to the attraction. Fans both young and old, often referred to as “Twi-hards,” can’t seem to get enough of R-Pattz. The young British actor became an overnight sensation following his portrayal of Edward Cullen, the beloved vampire in the film adaptation of Twilight. With a loyal following stretching across multiple continents, Pattinson is one of today’s hottest stars. In fact, Madame Tussauds London will also unveil a figure of R.Pattz on the same day as Madame Tussauds New York.
R-Pattz’s fans and representatives from Madame Tussauds NY will be available for interviews on site.
