London's Madame Tussauds has made Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe its
youngest wax work ever created. Despite being immortalized at such a
young age many thinks that the wax statue looks older with stubble on its
face and a conservative suit.
Benn Lovett, an official at the wax museum, said the statue is made
maturer than the real person to avoid redoing it in few years. He further
explained that a Harry Potter look is also hindered. He said, "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."
It was reported that Radcliffe did not model for the statue himself due
to a hectic schedule and therefore the sculptors had to do their own
research. "We had a lot of research from photos and film footage,"
sculptor Colin Jackman said. "Most times, celebrities will sit, but in
this case, it did not happen."
The statue was displayed at the museum on July 2, ten days before the
latest installment of Harry Potter series "Harry Potter and the Order of
the Phoenix" premieres in U.K.
