Timothée Chalamet, the acclaimed actor known for his roles in "Lady Bird," "Call Me By Your Name," and "Dune," has joined the ranks of Hollywood stars immortalised in wax at Madame Tussauds London.

The wax figure, meticulously crafted over nine months, captures Chalamet's signature style and features the same Alexander McQueen outfit he wore to the London premiere of "Dune" in 2021. The fashion house donated the attire, and Chalamet even provided the boots for the figure.

Fans can catch a glimpse of the waxwork starting May 24th. Chalamet joins other Hollywood icons like Zendaya and Leonardo DiCaprio at the renowned attraction.

Jo Kinsey, studio manager at Madame Tussauds London, praised Chalamet for his talent, style, and emotional vulnerability, stating, "Chalamet challenges what it means to be a Hollywood leading man in 2024."

Kinsey emphasised Chalamet's ability to portray diverse characters and his willingness to challenge societal norms as a male Hollywood star. She expressed honour in immortalising him in London and being the first to sculpt his famous cheekbones.

Chalamet's recent projects include "Don't Look Up," "Bones and All," and the titular role in the musical origin story of Roald Dahl's famous chocolatier, "Wonka."
