A figure representing Ncuti Gatwa’s depiction of the Fifteenth Doctor will be the newest Doctor Who addition to famous waxwork museum Madame Tussauds.
Gatwa worked with the attraction’s studio team to get his body measurements, head mould, and eye colours correct for his likeness.
The Rwandan-Scottish actor said of the creation of his doppelganger, intended to be place in a Doctor Who-themed setting.
“I’m very excited to be joining the iconic line-up at Madame Tussauds London. The process was amazing to witness, I can’t wait to see the final result.”
Other incarnations of the time-travelling alien including the fourth Time Lord, played by Tom Baker, and Jodie Whittaker’s Thirteenth Doctor, have also been turned into wax for Madame Tussauds.
The new waxwork is the first to be announced for the museum’s new film and TV-themed zone, which will feature on-screen characters including James Bond and ET.
Steve Blackburn, general manager at Madame Tussauds London, said the museum was “beyond thrilled” to have secured Gatwa.
