Timothee Chalamet has become the latest A-Lister to be recreated at London’s Madame Tussauds, with his first ever wax work officially unveiled on Wednesday.
Continuing the attraction’s legacy of immortalising the evolution of Hollywood’s standout talent throughout the decades, Timothée’s new figure will debut this May.
The actor’s figure arrives at the Baker Street attraction hot on the heels of the release of his latest blockbuster, Dune: Part Two.
His name is just as likely to be featured on best-dressed lists as it is on awards nominations, and Chalamet’s new figure is no different.
Timothee chose his slick Alexander McQueen look from the London premiere of Dune in 2021 for his first Madame Tussauds figure.

The suit was donated by the design house and fans will swoon to know the look is completed with Chalamet’s very own Alexander McQueen boots gifted to the attraction by the star himself.
Madame Tussauds London’s expert artists took nine months to create the figure, including meticulously sculpting his chiselled cheekbones and painstakingly inserting each individual strand of hair to craft his trademark luscious curls.
Jo Kinsey, Studio Manager at Madame Tussauds London, said: ‘Timothée Chalamet is an amazing talent and a wonder to watch on screen.
‘But more than that, we chose to immortalise him because we feel he defines the new face of fame for Gen Z.
‘Stylish, talented, and unafraid to show emotion off-screen, Chalamet challenges what it means to be a Hollywood leading man in 2024.
‘His ability to portray a variety of characters that are inclusive, intimate and vulnerable, while also breaking expected societal norms himself as a male Hollywood star in the public eye, is why he is a constant topic of conversation, and why his fans love him.
‘We are honoured to immortalise him in London and to be the first to sculpt and style those famous cheekbones and curls.
‘We can’t wait for fans to meet the figure; they will be queuing around the attraction for selfies!’

Timothée Chalamet’s figure will join fellow Hollywood superstars Zendaya, John Boyega, Leonardo DiCaprio, Dwayne Johnson, and Priyanka Chopra in the attraction from Friday 24th May.
Elsewhere, Timothee has been filming the biopic A Complete Unknown where he takes on the role of the legendary musician Bob Dylan.
Based on Elijah Wald’s 2015 book Dylan Goes Electric!, the movie follows Dylan as a 19-year-old arriving in 1961 New York City.
Shedding light on his relationship with his hero Woody Guthrie (Scoot McNairy) and other folk music legends, A Complete Unknown charts his rise to fame and the controversy around his musical shift.
The film also stars Monica Barbaro as Joan Baez, Elle Fanning as Sylvie Russo, Edward Norton as Pete Seeger and Boyd Holbrook as Johnny Cash.
Chalamet was cast as Dylan back in 2020, when it was announced that Mangold, 60, would direct Jay Cocks’ script, which he re-wrote.
Filming began last month after the COVID-19 pandemic and the SAG-AFTRA strike pushed production from summer 2023.
Chalamet’s latest role comes after he inked a multi-year first-look deal with Warner Bros. after his recent movies Wonka and Dune: Part Two topped the box office with a combined $1.3 billion.
The actor reportedly took home $8 million for his starring role in Wonka.
Meanwhile, Chalamet’s relationship with Kylie Jenner has been a hot topic since the pair began dating last year.
The Kylie Cosmetics mogul, 26, previously debunked pregnancy rumors after a source told DailyMail.com the speculation is ‘100% false.’
Another source told Us Weekly that the couple is ‘still dating’ and ‘keeping in touch’ while he films in NJ.
