MISS Universe 2015 Pia Wurtzbach is on her way to becoming the first Filipino to be featured at Madame Tussauds Hong Kong.
Her wax figure joins other legendary personalities at the attraction in 2019.
“When I found out, I was so excited. I couldn’t believe it! In my head, this is something only happens to big stars,” said Wurtzbach.
“I go to Madame Tussauds, so I know what it’s like and how fun it is there. And now, thinking that I’m going to be one of them, I’m very honored, I’m very grateful, and I can’t wait to see it,” she added.
She had gone through the measurement process – also known as a “sitting” – for her wax figure with the team from London.
“It was really quite a process and it’s so high tech! One second they were only taking a photo of my face then next thing I know, I see my face from different angles so instantly. It’s amazing,” she said. (Neil Ramos)
