Fly to Hong Kong to See Kathryn Bernardo’s Wax Figure

Kathryn Bernardo has reached another international milestone, this time outside film and television. The award-winning actress has been immortalised in wax at Madame Tussauds Hong Kong, one of the city’s most popular attractions where visitors can see lifelike figures of world-famous personalities.

Kathryn described the experience as surreal, saying it felt like they had “created my twin.” During the detailed process, she personally took part in the measurements and fittings while the Madame Tussauds team carefully captured every feature. From her facial expressions to her hair and posture, everything was recreated to make the wax version look incredibly real.

Having her wax figure displayed in Hong Kong, a top travel destination for Filipinos, gives fans one more reason to visit the city.
