I couldn’t believe it! In my head, this is something that only happens to the big stars,” the Miss Universe 2015 titleholder said.</p><p>She continued: “I go to Madame Tussauds, so I know what it’s like and how fun it is there. And now, thinking that I’m going to be one of them, I’m very honored, I’m very grateful, and I can’t wait to see it.”</p><p>Wurtzbach recently went through the “sitting” or measurement process for her wax figure with the Madame Tussauds team from London.</p><p>“It was really quite a process and it’s so high-tech!” she recalled. “One second they were only taking a photo of my face, then next thing I know, I see my face from different angles so instantly. It’s amazing.”</p><p>“The team is so good and professional at what they do,” she added. “They even did this process with Queen Elizabeth II!”</p><p>Jenny You, general manager of Madame Tussauds Hong Kong, said they have always wanted to include a Filipino wax figure in their museum, and Wurtzbach fits the bill.</p><p>“With Pia’s sweet, positive, and fun personality, we really could not have imagined having anyone but her to represent the Philippines in this way,” she said.</p><p>“More than being a queen, she has all the makings of an icon, and we are proud to be able to house her wax figure at Madame Tussauds Hong Kong for the rest of the world to be able to interact with.”</p>
