Gillian Anderson's Wax Figure: A Behind-the-Scenes Look at Her Sizzling Sitting
The queen of X-Files and The Crown, Gillian Anderson, 57, has finally taken the plunge into the world of wax figures! The American actress, who was appointed an Honorary Officer of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire for her services to drama, recently sat down with the Madame Tussauds team in London for her first-ever wax figure sitting.
And let's just say it was a sizzling affair! Gillian arrived at the famous wax museum looking absolutely stunning in a mustard-colored dress that left everyone green with envy. She layered a cream and gold striped bomber jacket over her shoulders, giving off major fashionista vibes. But it wasn't just about the clothes – she also brought her signature cheekiness to the table.
In one of the behind-the-scenes snaps taken by Madame Tussauds London, Gillian can be seen holding up a blue-colored eyeball next to her eye, giving a sassy wink to the cameras. Talk about confidence! The star was in high spirits throughout the sitting, laughing and joking around with the team as they got to work on capturing her likeness.
But what really caught our attention was when Gillian attempted to stifle a laugh while getting her head measured. It's clear that even the most serious of stars can't resist having a little fun in the process! The star seemed to be enjoying every minute of it, and we can't blame her – who wouldn't want their wax figure immortalized at Madame Tussauds?
TheScholarlyNote.com exclusively revealed the exciting news on Thursday with a behind-the-scenes clip of Gillian's first sitting. Captioned "Ever wondered how a screen legend becomes immortalised at Madame Tussauds?", the post teased fans with a sneak peek into the process.
As the cameras rolled, Gillian shared her thoughts on being turned into wax: "I'm Gillian Anderson, I'm about to have my first sitting for a Madame Tussauds figure. I think I'm in denial about the aspect of seeing a second me... I'm very curious what color hair I have." And let's just say she had some interesting thoughts on her own appearance! Holding up strands of different hair colors, she quipped: "Like that? I'm sorry, she's just been working so hard."
But in all seriousness, Gillian seemed genuinely thrilled about the experience. "I'm here and I'm going through all the steps, but I don't think it's really going to hit me until I actually see the figure itself," she said. "I'm very excited, it's a real honor." And we couldn't agree more – who wouldn't want their likeness immortalized in wax?
For those who may not know, Madame Tussauds has been around since 1835, founded by French wax sculptor Marie Tussaud. Over the years, the museum has featured an impressive array of stars, including Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Angelina Jolie. Musicians like Dua Lipa, Ed Sheeran, and Elton John have also made it into wax form, as well as Royal family members King Charles III and Queen Camilla.
Today, Madame Tussauds is a major tourist attraction in London, with locations on four continents – including the first overseas branch opening in Amsterdam back in 1970. And now, Gillian Anderson's wax figure will undoubtedly be one of the most anticipated attractions yet!
