Who wouldn’t want to see Penelope Cruz in wax? And no, we don’t mean latex… perverts. A wax figure of Cruz made its U.S. debut at Madame Tussauds Washington D.C. today (Nov. 11).
Cruz’s figure arrived to her debut in a black v-neck shirt and stylish palazzo pants that showed off her great physique, complimented by chic peep toed shoes and diamond accessories. Madame Tussauds’ studio artists studied hundreds of photos and hours of video footage to ensure Cruz’s figure would be as accurate as possible – right down to the actress’ alluring eyes. In order to create the incredibly lifelike figure, Madame Tussauds’ studio artists (the figure’s personal glam squad) studied hundreds of photos and hours of video footage to ensure Cruz’s figure would be as accurate as possible – right down to the actress’ exotic look, amazing smile and big, dreamy brown eyes. Spooky, much?
A bona fide movie star in her native country Spain, Cruz’s career in the U.S. took off in 2001 with her role in Vanilla Sky. She went on to become the first Spanish actress to be nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actress for her performance in Volver. Her recent films, Vicky Christina Barcelona and Elegy, have also earned her international praise.
Next up for Cruz is Nine, a musical directed by Rob Marshall, in which she portrays the main character’s sexy mistress. Cruz also has a successful clothing line, Mango, which she launched with her younger (and equally hot) sister, Monica, in 2007.
Earlier this year, the attraction debuted its Barack Obama figure.
