French footballer thrilled at wax work

French footballer thrilled at wax work - French footballer Kylian Mbappé was thrilled to see his new wax work at Madame Tussauds in London, exclaiming, "It's me! Amazing, magnificent!" The statue, which will be on display starting April 4th, shows him in his French national team jersey with his signature pose—arms crossed over his chest. Mbappé praised the talented artists behind the figure, saying, "It’s like looking at myself in the mirror. It’s surreal!" He expressed his excitement about being part of the Madame Tussauds family, calling it a great honour. In addition to this figure, Mbappé has two others at the Musée Grévin in Paris and Madame Tussauds in Berlin. His wax figure celebrates his success not only as a footballer but also as a cultural icon.
