Simu Liu poses with his Madame Tussauds wax figures, going up on display in Orlando & New York: “@madametussauds thank you for the most surreal, weird and sexually arousing experience”

Global superstar Simu Liu has arrived at Madame Tussauds! After receiving not one, but two Madame Tussauds wax figures, one for Orlando and one for New York, fans of Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings and Barbie can come face-to-face with the iconic actor.

Liu’s Madame Tussauds Orlando figure features a rich mulberry-colored suit inspired by his look at the 2024 People’s Choice Awards. The outfit includes a coordinating dress shirt worn open at the collar, matching dress shoes and socks, and accessories reflecting the actor’s signature red carpet style.

Liu’s Madame Tussauds New York figure is styled in a powder-blue Versace suit inspired by Liu’s appearance at the Los Angeles premiere of Barbie. The look includes a matching harness with gold hardware layered over a crisp white shirt, paired with dark green loafers and accessories inspired by the jewelry and watch worn at the event.

Capturing Liu’s likeness required the work of 20 of Madame Tussauds studio artists, who began the process with a detailed sitting session with Liu, during which more than 200 precise measurements and reference photographs were taken from every angle. Using these references, sculptors crafted a clay model of the actor’s likeness before creating a wax cast that forms the foundation of the final figure. Once the wax form is cast, artists apply layers of oil-based paint to replicate realistic skin tones, while human hair is inserted strand by strand before being carefully cut and styled.
