<\/a><\/p>\nHandsome George. He looks a little less lifelike than other statues, though. His eyes are wrong.<\/p>\n
Aaaaaaah. The most gorgeous\u00a0man in entertainment.<\/p>\n Look at those cheekbones! Those eyes! That Cupid’s Bow!<\/p>\n Okay, I’m a tad obsessed. \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n Sir Sean Connery.<\/p>\n Sir Patrick Stewart. He looked really lifelike!<\/p>\n Colin Firth.<\/p>\n John Wayne.<\/p>\n Jennifer Lawrence as Katniss Everdeen (that reminds me I need to catch up on the Hunger Games).<\/p>\n Marilyn Monroe. Men (and I use the term loosely) tried to get a look up her skirt when it would blow up.<\/p>\n Dame Judi Dench as M.<\/p>\n Daniel Craig, my favourite Bond.<\/p>\n Bruce Willis. Arnold Schwarzenegger as the Terminator was next to him, but I could not get a shot as he was too popular.<\/p>\n Steven Spielberg was the most lifelike. Very eerie!<\/p>\n Alfred Hitchcock.<\/p>\n Henry VIII.<\/p>\n Princess Diana also looked very lifelike.<\/p>\n The process for making the statues is very intimate and Madame Tussaud’s has managed three sittings with the Queen over the years!<\/p>\n Three different statues of the Queen.<\/p>\n Queen Victoria.<\/p>\n The Royal family. I could not get a better picture as it was SUPER busy. I imagine they’ll be adding Prince George and Princess Charlotte at some point.<\/p>\n Vincent Van Gogh.<\/p>\n Stephen Hawking.<\/p>\n Albert Einstein was also very lifelike!<\/p>\n Charles Dickens.<\/p>\n Pablo Picasso.<\/p>\n The Dalai Lama and Nelson Mandela.<\/p>\n Martin Luther King Jr.<\/p>\n Churchill.<\/p>\n A very young looking President Obama.<\/p>\n John F. Kennedy (doesn’t really look like him…) and Benazir Bhutto.<\/p>\n Desmond Tutu.<\/p>\n Part of Madame Tussaud’s birth certificate.<\/p>\n The other half.<\/p>\n Madame Tussaud.<\/p>\n It was interesting to learn here how far back these wax likenesses were made, right to the 18th century! Some of Madame Tussaud’s methods are still in use today!<\/p>\n There was information about how the statues are made. The measurements sound very invasive and speak to how respected Madame Tussaud’s is for people to pose for statues.<\/p>\n Next came a fun ride through London’s history in a black cab. No photos allowed for this. The evolution of the city was striking. I really enjoyed this.<\/p>\n The last bit was a treat, dedicated to the Marvel superhero movies. Here’s Hawkeye.<\/p>\n Hulk.<\/p>\n Wolverine, the first Canadian I saw in the whole museum… *wry grin*<\/p>\n Captain America.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
