HOW TO COMPLETELY FAIL A DEPICTION!
Sure, these wax figures might not be the real deal, but honestly, where else would you be able to snap selfies with famous people? Unfortunately, when it comes to celebrity wax figures, not all are created equal. Sure, some are pretty darn accurate, but others completely miss the mark—and when they do, the results are often hysterical. Just take a look through these 18 celebrity wax figures currently on display that likely would’ve been better off used as candles instead…
The real Nicole Kidman has always had a kind of statuesque, porcelain doll thing going on, but this
horror show takes it to a new level. Its forehead is about twice the size of her (already large!) We can
imagine Kidman Nicole was disappointed when she saw the high forehead of the wax figure. This is more of
a caricature than a replica of the beautiful Nicole… “If she wasn’t labelled, we’d have no idea this was
meant to be Nicole Kidman.”

In no universe would Ariana wear this kind of raccoon under-eye liner. There are literal humans who look
more like Ari than this wax figure does. In fact, it looks like she is wearing some manga make-up for
halloween !
People got angry on twitter, "I hate the Ariana wax statue. It's not her face. Deserves more respect.
She
is the best pop singer in the world and all you can do is this. You have to create another”.

Leonardo Wilhelm DiCaprio is an American actor, producer, and environmentalist. He has often played
unconventional roles, but it is not an excuse for this wax figure to be this bad… This is an abomination
! Leonardo DiCaprio’s eyes are so tiny! I have to add that he got a pretty bad make-up; too-light
concealer, the wrong foundation, or a crazy powder situation.

Naomi Elaine Campbell is an English model, actress and businesswoman. I'm not sure how you take one of
the most iconic supermodels in the world and turn her into "Daffy's mannequin that survived a nuclear
winter," but here we are. Nothing works in this wax figure; let’s start with her eyes, it looks like she
is giving a look to someone. More to that, the creator gave her a giraffe neck. This monstrosity is from
Paris's Musée Grévin.

It’s hard to capture the swagger that radiates off Conor McGregor, but the National Wax Museum didn’t
even
come anywhere close to doing so. First of all, the expression on his face is not one we’ve ever seen
McGregor make. Second, he’s wearing a tuxedo with a bow tie, which is the least McGregor attire ever.
And,
most importantly, it’s just terrible. “It’s not as bad as Cristiano Ronaldo’s, but it’s close. You be
the
judge..”

Jennifer Lynn Lopez, also known by her nickname J.Lo, is an American actress, singer, dancer, fashion
designer, producer, and businesswoman. Madame Tussauds released several other statues of Jennifer Lopez
from different times in her life. This one, which was released a year later, does not even look like the
"On the Floor" singer.
While we all appreciate the fact that Wax J.Lo looks like it's about to fight a woman who got too flirty
with A-Rod, this wouldn't look like Jenny from the block even if you squinted at it while drunk.

Justin Randall Timberlake is an American singer, songwriter, actor, and record producer. This wax figure
of him, which was unveiled in April 2014, looks like a chilling version of the "Mirrors" singer. The
side smirk and the way one of the eyebrows raises at the end makes the figure look creepy. If anything,
this version of Timberlake looks like it belongs in one of the "Twilight" films.

I don't even know where to begin with this… In honor of the 44th president and former first lady, wax
figures of Barack Obama and Michelle Obama were unveiled in January 2010. Unfortunately Michelle's
didn't turn out as well as it should have. The wax figure's color is off, the hairstyle isn't quite
right, and Michelle doesn't look like that when she smiles with her teeth.

Beyoncé wax figures are always a mess, possibly because it's difficult to imitate perfection; The statue
of the singer was unveiled in 2004, a year after her "Dangerously in Love" album was released. It is
supposed to be a replica of Beyoncé's look in her "Crazy in Love" music, but the hair and makeup don't
resemble hers. the creators failed to achieve the correct skin tone as well. Many people were frustrated
by a wax figure that was too light-skinned, and then became too orange; There's nothing cute about
whitewashing Beyoncé. These attempts to make Beyoncé into a wax figure somehow ignore the fact that she
is a black woman. Instead, Beyoncé is white, and lowkey looks more like Britney Spears than anything.
Uh...okay.

We really don't know who this wax figure is next to Angelina Jolie and baby Shiloh Jolie-Pitt, but it
doesn't resemble Brad Pitt at all. Jolie's statue looks similar to the actress, but Pitt's does not look
like him. It might as well be a stranger placed near Jolie.
Thankfully, more accurate wax figures of Pitt were unveiled in 2012 and 2013.

Long-haired Brad Pitt is the best Brad Pitt, yet the long-haired version of his wax figure looks like he
borrowed Bill Hader's wig from "The Californians". This wax figure reminded me pof my childhood crush,
Ken from Barbie. With the perfect features and the shiny skin because the creator went pretty nuts with
the highlighter.

Trust me that’s Justin! And not his slightly uglier evil twin.. There’s just one little problem, it
don’t look so much like Justin.. I mean you can tell it’s probably him, but should it not be a direct
hit? We know that Justin looks young in real life, but he doesn't look 12! This appears much too young
to accurately depict Bieber, and its geant head doesn't look like the real thing, either. Bieber may be
the King of Teen Pop, but he's also victim of one of the Biggest Celebrity Wax Figure Fails.

Oprah Gail Winfrey is an American talk show host, television producer, actress, author, and
philanthropist. This wax representation of her more resembles a Bizarro version of the media mogul than
anything else. That’s really the only feasible explanation as to why it could be so utterly inaccurate.
I
still have questions about that eyeshadow. Real Oprah would never!

Many artists tried to depict Trump in wax figures, but this version is less a wax figure and more a
discount Halloween mask Scotch-taped to a headless mannequin. The color of his hair and his tone are
off. The fact that this wax figure has more gravity-defying hair than the actual Donald Trump is truly
impressive. The only correct thing is the “look” this wax figure has. But god bless whoever thought
Donald Trump's eyes were a beautiful shade of light turquoise.

Prince William, Duke of Cambridge, is a member of the British royal family. In fact, the wax figure that
was made looks like those puppets from the puppet show more than a royal member. It can't be easy to
make a wax figure of a royal — you don't want to piss them off, after all — but this one, despite having
a more generous amount of hair than the real William, looks like it's been holding in a fart since Queen
Elizabeth's coronation.

Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, known professionally as Lady Gaga, is an American singer, songwriter
and actress. She is known for her crazy looks and appearances. But this, is beyond crazy ! This
terrifying close up is a disaster. I love Mother Monster, but I’d like there to be less emphasis on
MONSTER please. Even people are screaming about a new Lady Gaga wax figure that looks nothing like the
singer, and can’t stop laughing about it.

Rowan Sebastian Atkinson is an English actor, comedian, and writer. He is best known for his work on the
Mr. Bean character. He isn't the best looking guy to begin with, but in my opinion the artist could a
little bit better than that, the man is a comedy legend.

Diana, Princess of Wales was a member of the British royal family, she became the most beloved and
beautiful British icon. Lady D fought her way to become an empowering and successful woman who many
people thought had no complications of her own in the royal family. She sacrificed her life for the
British country and for other countries around the world; she’s a legendary humanitarian who provided so
much love that she continues to be honored today.
Many wax attempts were made, but this one was a disaster and a shame. Her skin tone doesn't seem to
match her real one, and her look is empty…
“This wax figure borders on disrespectful”.
