Not Bad
Ryan Reynolds celebrated his birthday this week with a little unveiling ceremony at the Madame Tussaud’s Wax Museum in Hollywood, CA. As you can see in the photo below, Ryan proudly posed next to his wax doppelgänger which will go on display at the museum next week. Altho I’d argue that it is nearly impossible for Madame Tussaud’s to recreate true hotness like that possessed by Ryan Reynolds, I have to admit that this new wax statue of him is pretty damn good. Check out the photo below and see if you can tell the difference between the real and the fake Ryan Reynolds.
After three months of voting from thousands of fans, the results are in and Ryan Reynolds is the next celebrity immortalized in wax at Madame Tussauds Hollywood. In a first for the legendary attraction, fans were given the opportunity to weigh in via Facebook as to what figure they would like to see. In a close race between well-known stars Ryan Gosling, Anne Hathaway, Ryan Reynolds, Jennifer Hudson and Sofia Vergara, Reynolds came out on top due to a tremendous outpouring of support from his fans. Perfectly timed with Reynolds’ birthday today, the figure is being unveiled to the public. “Thank you to everyone at Madame Tussauds Hollywood for their hard work and talent,” said Reynolds after seeing the completed figure. “This is undoubtedly the largest and most spectacular birthday candle I’ve ever received.” Madame Tussauds Hollywood offers its visitors a truly unique opportunity to interact with lifelike wax figures of Hollywood’s most notable celebrities and iconic movie figures. Through the Facebook Choice contest, fans from around the world had the opportunity to engage with Madame Tussauds Hollywood and provide feedback on the celebrities showcased in the attraction in a whole new way…through social media. “We always take visitor suggestions into account when deciding what figures to add to Madame Tussauds Hollywood each year, but by engaging with our fans through social media we are able to get direct feedback,” said Colin Thomas, general manager of Madame Tussauds Hollywood. “Any of the celebrities we were considering would have been a great addition to the attraction. Ryan has an incredible fan base though and they weren’t going to give up until he won!” After three months, Reynolds was named the winner. Through the contest, self-proclaimed No. 1-fan Melissa Ortega from Dalton, GA, won a trip to Los Angeles to celebrate the official figure launch. “I am a huge Ryan Reynolds fan and have seen all of his movies,” said Ortega. “When I saw the Madame Tussauds contest to help select the next wax figure, I knew I had to jump into action to be sure Ryan won. I can’t wait to see it in person!” Although each process has variations, figure making at Tussauds Studios has not changed fundamentally since Madame Tussauds was founded more than 200 years ago. Utilizing approximately 330 pounds of clay, a team of 20 skilled artists took more than 200 different measurements and spent months shaping the Reynolds figure to look just right. The figure of People Magazine’s former sexiest man alive will be on display starting October 29, and joins the ranks of Hollywood icons such as Lady Gaga, Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, Michael Jackson, Justin Bieber and Rihanna in the attraction.
Looks good, no? I once ran into Ryan at the Alcove in Los Feliz, which was a nice surprise, but now any one of us can run into him at the Madame Tussaud’s on Hollywood Blvd. I have a sneaking suspicion that the wax version of Ryan won’t protest quite so much as the real thing if someone wanted to grab his ass … er, I’m assuming.
