John Boyega feels ‘lucky to be celebrated’ after he unveiled his red carpet-inspired waxwork at Madame Tussauds. The actor, who found international fame for his role as Finn in the Star Wars sequel trilogy films, was honoured with a likeliness at the London tourist attraction on Friday.
The figure of the 30-year-old stands in an outfit, designed by his sister Grace, which reflects his love of tailoring and West African heritage. ‘The styling of my figure was really important to me, and I saw this as an opportunity for my sister to come in and create something that merges my love of a good, fitted suit with the beautiful materials that represent my West African culture, and this outfit epitomises me perfectly,’ the star explained at the event. ‘It’s snazzy,’ he added.
The actor, born John Adedayo Bamidele Adegboyega, joins fellow stars including Dwayne Johnson, the Beckhams, Benedict Cumberbatch and Dame Helen Mirren in Madame Tussauds London’s Awards Party zone.
Boyega joked: ‘First of all, I didn’t know my head was that big, which is something to take in, but to see my figure in the flesh is ridiculous. ‘I’m happy to be here and lucky to be in a position to be celebrated this way.
