Kylian Mbappé unveiled his wax statue on Thursday, a lifelike replica that will soon be displayed at Madame Tussauds in Berlin.
The French forward, currently finishing his tenure with PSG amid rumors of an impending move to Real Madrid, shared his amazement at the statue’s uncanny resemblance.
“He looks more like Kylian than I do,” Mbappé joked at the event, held in Paris. The wax figure, crafted by Madame Tussauds’ renowned artisans, captures him wearing the iconic number 10 jersey of the French national team.
Creating the statue was no small feat—the museum’s team spent over four hours meticulously filming and photographing Mbappé to ensure every detail was perfect. The forward expressed his delight with the outcome, saying, “It helps me connect with people even when I’m not there.”
This marks another milestone for the globally recognized Madame Tussauds Museum, which is famed for its wax renditions of notable personalities. The “wax Mbappé” will serve as a unique attraction in Berlin, giving fans a chance to admire the football star up close, even if only in statue form.
As Mbappé prepares to conclude his seven-year journey with PSG, his future remains a hot topic, with Real Madrid widely speculated to be his next destination. For now, though, the spotlight is firmly on his double—proving that even in wax, Kylian Mbappé is a true star.
