Robert Pattinson joined the likes of David Beckham, Jennifer Lopez, and Duke Ellington when his waxy deadringer debuted at one of the world’s most famous wax museums this morning.
The Twilight heartthrob became an instant sensation with the hundreds of teen girls — and half dozen cougars — on hand for the unveiling of the Pattinson wax likeness at Madame Tussauds in New York City’s Times Square Thursday.
The figure is downright uncanny, and very reminiscent of Pattz’s look as undead Edward Cullen, right down to the tousled hair and a sultry expression.
“R-Patz is one of the hottest celebs on the planet. We are delighted to be able to give them (the fans) 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,” says Tussauds spokeswoman Liz Edwards.
The Pattinson wax figure took about four months to complete.
