| | |  Dan Radcliffe waxwork at Madame Tussauds
Dan Radcliffe has become the youngest actor to be immortalised as a waxwork at Madame Tussauds in London. Quote:
Although the majority of celebrities sit for sculptors when having their figures made, the 17-year-old was said to have been too busy. Incredibly, he has not even seen the figure yet.
Quote:
One of the two sculptors who took several weeks to make the life-size model, Colin Jackman, said: "We had a lot of research from photos and film footage. Most times, celebrities will sit, but in this case, it did not happen."
 Quote:
Ben Lovett, of Madame Tussauds, said: "Daniel had been asked for several years, but with his 18th birthday coming up, we thought it would be appropriate. Hopefully, the figure will be a big hit with teenage girls."
When asked why Radcliffe had ditched his glasses and famous scar, he added: "Daniel is nearly 18 and he has some serious acting roles under his belt and we wanted to reflect that.
"For the last couple of years, people have been asking for a Daniel Radcliffe figure and they said we should include him as a British star in his own right."
More images of the waxwork can be seen in our galleries here.  | |

It's so looks life-like. Actually, he looks a bit older than he is.
EDIT: 1st to post!

It does look much older than he is, like in his 40s or something. But what a honour, eh

Okay, that looks older than him and kinda different too. Omg, me and my aunt were talking about him getting a wax model of himself at Madame Tussauds and here we got the answer.

I've only ever been in Madame Tussaud's once, and wax figures gives me the creeps. That is remarkably life life, though *pokes him* | |

Too bad he was so busy....Otherwise, the wax-figure would have been a lot better... But it still looks pretty good  | |

For anyone who's ever seen the movie House of Wax, this is insanely creepy.
Wax figures are insanely creepy anyway.

That's so awesome that they made a wax figure of him, but the face looks kinda chubby. It's cute though!
