Who Is That Supposed to Be? Celebrity Wax Figures Gone Wrong
Yesterday, Heidi Klum unveiled her wax figure at the Madame Tussaud's in Berlin. And when we saw what it looked like, we thought the sculptors confused her with a Kate Bosworth blow-up doll for a second. (However, Ms. Klum herself doesn't agree. "
It is a pretty good likeness, but it's pretty strange to look yourself in the eyes," she said at the unveiling.)
But Heidi's not the only one whose wax likeness isn't really that much of a likeness. Take a look at celebrities who don't resemble their wax models.
Julia Roberts
The fake 'Pretty Woman' reminds us of Katie Couric -- not the Oscar -winning actress.
Justin Timberlake
Maybe Timberlake was unavailable to pose for his own figure, so they asked David Beckham to fill in?
Madonna
The body and the clothes are right ... but the face? Not so much.
Jennifer Lopez
If by Jennifer Lopez, you mean the love child of Beyonce and Jennifer Love Hewitt, then yes, that's what this is.
Jessica Alba
This is supposed to be the 'Fantastic Four' star, but it looks more like a pissed off Heidi Montag, post first plastic surgery.
Will Smith
There are no words.
Orlando Bloom
It's as if they started making a wax Johnny Depp, then realized they were supposed to be doing Bloom.
Nicole Kidman
We're not sure when Kidman turned into Britney Spears.
Antonio Banderas
Putting this wax figure in a Zorro outfit will not make up for the fact that Banderas is unrecognizable.

LMAO!
I wonder if they can refuse to have the 'doubles' stand in for them. I'd be pissed if I was a 'star' & they tried to pull some slop job like this.
You rock Leroy.
It must have been intern day at the wax museum.
Poor dumb old Leroy. So tired. So predictable.
Nicole Kidman wishes she looked as good as the wax figure! Ekh!

There wasn't one celebrity wax figure that was unrecognizable there. Is it that someone just has to nit-pick at someone else's work? Makes no sense to me that it even needed to be critiqued.

I agree with you. Somebody's just feeling a little twitchy this morning. Wax is wax.
I agree, Teresa. Most of them looked just like them. The one where it ends up looking like Depp is about the only one (and Madonna) that I would be hard-pressed to figure out who it is supposed to be. I can't believe they bothered to rag on about this, instead of just presenting the subject in a positive light, like gee, that's interesting. Makes the writers look like jerks.
Yeah I agree. I think that the photo angles make a difference too. The stars are changeable, and a look they have today is not what they have tomorrow. SO therefore, the wax figures are fine, its the writer that is annoyingly wrong.
I agree. I thought they all looked pretty good. The one that really threw me was Will Smith.. they made him look much older than he actually looked in Wild Wild West. Other than that I think these people that design these figures have an incredible talent and.. well.. im sure we've all heard that saying "those who can't do.........."
all the girls look realistic, at least, b/c of all the wax like makeup they always wear. the boys' look least like them b/c it's hard to get the realistic skin down. b4 u hate to these, let's c if u could do better! peace!
