Kylian Mbappé Expresses Delight Upon Unveiling His New Wax Statue in Madrid Before It Heads to London

Kylian Mbappé has made defenders seem frozen in time, but now, he’s got his own “frozen” counterpart—a lifelike wax statue that left the French forward in awe.

Mbappé’s Reaction to His Wax Statue

Unveiled in Madrid, the statue is an incredibly detailed representation of the Real Madrid and France star.

This new addition to the world of wax figures is headed to Madame Tussauds in London next week, but Mbappé couldn’t help but marvel at it first.

In perfect English, he shared his excitement, saying, “Oh, wow.

The new jersey, even the new boots. That’s me. I love it, amazing.”

His delight was evident as he exclaimed, “Oh my God, you’ve got everything, guys. It’s really, really fun, yeah.”

A Proud Moment for the Football Star

Mbappé expressed his gratitude for being included in the Madame Tussauds family, calling it “a big honour.”

He added, “I’m really happy, even more after seeing the results.

It’s amazing, I’m really proud to be here to see this. It’s a big day for me.”

For the footballer, this moment wasn’t just about the statue—it was a reflection of his achievements and the global impact he’s had.

Exploring Cultures While Traveling the World

Beyond football, Mbappé is an avid traveler who enjoys immersing himself in new cultures.

He mentioned, “I love to visit the city, go to the restaurants, to see a little bit of the culture of the country.”

He noted that being a football player allows him the chance to experience different lifestyles, adding, “London is one of the best cities in the world.”

The Process Behind the Statue

Mbappé’s excitement only grew when he saw the statue up close, tracing his finger over its face as though making sure it was truly his.

He previously had another wax figure made for a pop-up event in Paris, where he was dressed in a blue France kit.

For this latest figure, it took a detailed four-hour session of facial and physical analysis to capture his likeness.

Afterward, he jokingly said, “It’s 100 per cent me!”

Mbappé’s wax figure is just the latest chapter in the footballer’s growing legacy, and as he prepares to see it travel to London, the star is undoubtedly thrilled by this unique tribute to his career.
