Madame Tussauds London has unveiled the first wax figure of one of Britain’s most decorated actors, Eddie Redmayne.
Looking red carpet ready, Eddie’s likeness is now available for guests to see in the attraction, alongside a plethora of home-grown British film talent including Benedict Cumberbatch, Tom Hiddleston, and Cara Delevigne. Eddie’s figure is the first addition of the year to Madame Tussauds London.
Eddie Redmayne, whose 2014 leading role in The Theory of Everything saw him win numerous awards for Best Actor, was fully involved in the creation of the figure and attended a sitting with Madame Tussauds’ artists to take over 200 measurements to ensure the striking likeness.
The figure sports the Gucci suit that Eddie wore at the LA premiere of The Danish Girl, showcasing the Oscar-winner’s effortless style.
Eddie Redmayne said, “It’s been fascinating to be part of the process and the skill of the artists is astounding. I felt most sorry for the freckle painter.”
Edward Fuller, General Manager at Madame Tussauds London, said, “As one of London’s most iconic attractions, it felt right that we add one of London’s most iconic actors and residents to the guest list of our star-studded party room.
“We are certainly ready for Eddie, he truly is a fan favourite and his likeness was one of the most requested figures in 2017. With award season in full flow it’s fitting that we invite our guests to mingle with Eddie and his fellow A-listers.”
