Leo Ku and his personal cartoon creation ‘Kubi’ are set to be the next celebrities to be immortalised in wax at Madame Tussauds Hong Kong.
Leo and ‘Kubi’s’ admission into the “world famous home of the famous” at The Peak marks the first time that a celebrity has been able to bring
his own creation to join the ranks of super stardom at the attraction as a duo.
Kelly Mak, Head of Marketing and Customer Services
commented on the addition, “Leo Ku was invited to be part of Madame Tussauds Hong Kong as he was
consistently one of the most popular choices of local male artists amongst our guests based on our exit survey. In addition, Leo has made
significant contributions to the world of Asian pop music and film. He has received numerous awards, which has proved his contribution and
success in the music industry.”
Leo’s sitting – which took a total of five hours to complete – was conducted in Hong Kong last November. According to principal sculptor Paul
Benett, Leo was very patient as hundreds of photographs were taken from every angle, and his hair, teeth and eyes colour-matched to perfection.
Leo was amazed by the precision and details of the measurements. He said, “I was
fascinated by the entire sitting process. The measurement process was in such detail that over 200 measurements were taken of my body. Sizes
which I may not normally have noticed were also taken and I believe guests visiting the attraction will know ‘me’ much better from now on. At the
same time I am excited to see ‘myself’ and ‘Kubi’ as life size wax figures.”
Fans
will be able to get up close and personal with Leo and his pal ‘Kubi’ from early
April 2007.
