Idris Elba<\/a> is waxing poetic about his new wax figure.\n<\/p>\n PEOPLE\u2019s former Sexiest Man Alive<\/a>, 53, has now been immortalized in wax form at Madame Tussauds London, the museum revealed on Dec. 19.\n<\/p>\n The English actor expressed disbelief upon laying eyes on his wax figure in an Instagram video shared by the museum. At one point, the acclaimed Luther<\/em> alum<\/a> and Marvel Cinematic Universe<\/a> star called his mom, Eve.\n<\/p>\n \u201cI am speechless literally. Wow. Hold on, I\u2019ve got to call my mum. She\u2019s gonna freak,\u201d he said, before connecting with Eve on FaceTime.\n<\/p>\n His mom replied on the phone, \u201cOh, my God!\u201d\n<\/p>\n His wax figure is dressed in an outfit that he wore in July 2024 when Idris met with King Charles<\/a> to discuss youth violent crime and The King\u2019s Trust<\/a>.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n While he was nearly speechless at the museum, the activist later issued a statement about working with Madame Tussauds London on the figure.\n<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s truly an honour to be recognised in this way and even more special to know this other version of me will be standing tall in London,\u201d he said. \u201cSo, even when I\u2019m away, a part of me is always at home.\u201d\u00a0\n<\/p>\n The musician<\/a> added, \u201cThe process has been fascinating. It\u2019s not dissimilar to prepping for a movie role \u2014 working with talented artists to flesh out the character, getting the costume just right, but this time it\u2019s for me!\u201d\n<\/p>\n <\/span> Never miss a story \u2014 sign up for\u00a0PEOPLE’s free daily newsletter<\/a>\u00a0to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer\u200b\u200b, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories.<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s really surreal to see another version of me standing in Madame Tussauds London, it feels like a full circle moment,\u201d he concluded.\n<\/p>\n Aside from acting and activism, Idris is also a husband to Sabrina<\/a>, 36, and a dad to daughter Isan, 23, and son Winston, 11<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n NEED TO KNOW Madame Tussauds London unveiled Idris Elba\u2019s wax figure As the English actor posed with the wax replica of himself, he called his mom to get her reaction to its uncanny resemblance The activist\u2019s wax figure is dressed in an outfit he wore in July 2024 when he met with King Charles to … Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":14227,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-14226","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.jubi24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Idris-Elba-Poses-with-Madame-Tussauds-Wax-Figure-Gets-Moms.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.jubi24.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14226","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.jubi24.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.jubi24.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.jubi24.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.jubi24.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=14226"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.jubi24.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14226\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":14228,"href":"https:\/\/www.jubi24.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14226\/revisions\/14228"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.jubi24.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/14227"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.jubi24.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=14226"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.jubi24.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=14226"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.jubi24.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=14226"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
