Everyone dreams of meeting their favorite celebrities. But it can be difficult to meet most celebrities in real life, let alone take a selfie with one. Most functions that famous people attend are usually crowded, giving you no chance to get close to them. Sometimes, the TV is the only option we have to meet our favorite celebrities. But there’s a better option than that! 

Madame Tussauds allows you to meet some of the most famous people without leaving Orlando. From movie stars and TV personalities to musicians and sports legends, you can meet them all here at ICON Park, Orlando. 

Even though these are wax figures, the attention to detail is so perfect you might think you are with the real person. The artists who create them replicate every characteristic of the real celebrities. That includes their height, body shape, skin tone, hairstyle, outfit, and even tattoos. When you take a photo with these wax figures, no one can tell the difference between them and the real celebrity. Therefore, one of the best things to do in this museum is to take as many photos as you can with the wax figures. 

So, which celebrities should you expect to meet at Madame Tussauds? They are quite a few, but we’ll focus on just a few that were recently added to the museum. 

Bad Bunny 

Bad Bunny is the professional name of Benito Antonio Ocasio, a Puerto Rican singer, rapper, and songwriter. He has gained international recognition for his music, which blends reggaeton, trap, and Latin pop.

In addition to his music career, Bad Bunny has also appeared in several films and television shows, including “Narcos: Mexico,” “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,” and Bullet Train. 

His wax figure at Orlando is placed in the music section, wearing a long black coat inspired by his royal rumble performance. The outfit was actually donated by him, meaning it’s his actual jacket! You’ll find him standing in front of flashing neon signs with his rap music playing in the background. That would be the perfect spot for you to join him in his posture by raising your little fingers to copy him, then take a photo. 

Neymar Jr

Maluma’s wax figure at Madame Tussauds Orlando portrays his true persona by showcasing his love for fashion. He’s often seen wearing designer clothes and accessories. You’ll see him at the museum wearing a white Versace suit, with some of his tattoos showing. The most impressive thing about his wax figure is how realistic it looks. It’s so real that when he took a photo with it, you couldn’t tell him apart from the figure. That tells you something; when you take a photo with his wax figure, it’ll be the same as taking it with the real Maluma. 

Wonder Woman 

Wonder Woman is a popular superhero character in the DC Extended Universe films, first presented in 1941. The character has been depicted in different ways over the decades. The original story depicts she was sculpted from clay by her mother, Queen Hippolyta. But in 2011, she was presented as the biological daughter of Queen Hippolyta and Zeus.  

In the golden age, Wonder Woman lived in Amazon, where Trevor, an intelligence officer from the U.S., experienced a plane crash. Trevor was found by Princess Diana, who is also the Wonder Woman. The Amazonian nursed him until he was ready to return to the U.S.  

They decided to hold a tournament that would help determine who would take him back to his home. Diana was prohibited from entering the contest, but she disguised herself and entered it. She won the tournament, received a Wonder Woman costume, and then took Trevor back to the United States. She worked as Trevor’s assistant in the U.S. where she lived a double life. Trevor didn’t know that Diana her co-worker was also the Wonder Woman superhero who often came to his rescue.          

As time passes, the Wonder Woman story changes, but its premise remains the same. Like other DC superheroes, Wonder Woman possesses superhuman powers, which include flying, strength, and speed. In addition, she has several weapons and gadgets, including her signature Lasso of Truth and bullet-deflecting bracelets. 

When you meet her at Madame Tussauds Orlando, you’ll see her dressed in battle clothing, inspired by the 2017 movie. The wax figure has a sword at the back and a “bullet-deflecting bracelet.” Visitors like imitating her pose at the museum, which captures her in real action. It comes out perfectly in photos, especially because the wax figure appears to be looking directly at the camera. 

No doubt Wonder Woman has inspired a new generation of female superheroes, and now you have a chance to meet her at the Justice League zone in Madame Tussauds Orlando. 

Superman  

Superman is one of the world's most iconic and beloved superheroes, known for his incredible strength, unwavering moral code, and inspiring sense of justice. According to DC Comics, Superman was born on a fictional planet called Krypton. His parents named him Kal-El. 

When his planet was about to be destroyed, his parents sent him to Earth in a small spaceship. He landed in America in a fictional town referred to as Smallville. He was found and adopted by a family who named him Clark Kent. While on Earth, Clark Kent developed superstrength and the ability to fly. His adoptive parents advised him to use his powers to do good. So, he used it to fight crime.  

The name Superman was used as a cover to protect his personal life. He also wore a costume when fighting crime to protect his identity. When not fighting crime, Superman lived a normal life as Clark Kent. He even had a job at the Daily Planet, where he worked as a journalist.   

Today, Superman continues to appear in DC movies, such as Man of Steel, Bat Man vs Superman, and Justice League.  

Superman’s wax figure at Madame Tussauds brings out his strength clearly by showcasing him lifting a real helicopter. You’ll see him in his usual costume, consisting of a skin-tight blue suit with a red cape. Feel free to join him and help him lift that helicopter as someone snaps a photo.

The son of a human lighthouse keeper and an Atlantean queen, Arthur has the ability to communicate with sea creatures, swim at incredible speeds, and possesses incredible strength. Despite his powers, Arthur has always felt like an outsider, torn between his two worlds. 

The Aquaman’s figure at the justice league zone in Madame Tussauds Orlando is inspired by the 2018 film. It presents a realistic wax-figure of Aquaman, wearing his iconic suit, complete with green and gold armor and a trident. The attention to detail is impressive, from the intricate designs on the armor to the suit’s texture. The figure stands on a platform surrounded by simulated water, giving the illusion that Aquaman is standing in the ocean.

Madame Tussauds Orlando honored her by creating an incredibly lifelike figure, capturing her physical features and the essence of her artistry and persona. 

The figure, which took months of meticulous work and attention to detail, accurately captures the singer’s unique features. For instance, the figure’s hair has been styled to mimic Grande’s signature high ponytail, which the singer is rarely seen without. The makeup has also been recreated with precision, down to the intricacies of her eyeshadow and the shape of her eyebrows.

You can join her on the red carpet at the A-list party zone and let the paparazzi capture the moment. 

Dwayne Johnson 

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson has become a household name because of his status as one of Hollywood’s biggest stars and his inspiring backstory as a former professional wrestler turned successful actor. His incredibly lifelike wax figure at Madame Tussauds Orlando is inspired by the 2018 Skyscrapers movie, where he played a former FBI agent trying to rescue his family from a burning skyscraper. 

The wax figure depicts him scaling a building using a rope, wearing a white T-shirt and cargo pants. It makes you feel like you’re witnessing live action, especially due to the special effects, which include lights, wind, and sound. Johnson himself was involved in the creation of the figure by providing measurements, photos, and even a mold of his hand for the sculptors to use as a reference. As a result, the figure looks stunningly accurate, down to the smallest details. 

Johnson is known for playing a leading role in many films, including Jumanji, Hercules, The Mummy Returns, The Scorpion King, and Journey 2: The Mysterious Island, among others. His wax figure provides an excellent opportunity for his fans to meet him up close and take photos.
