Portugese superstar Cristiano Ronaldo has reportedly paid a sum of £20,000 on a waxwork ofR himself to keep with him at home, according to The Sun.
Sculptor Michael Wade confirmed he was hired to create the waxwork by Ronaldo. “We still had the mould that we’d used to sculpt him in 2013, so this copy was a complete duplicate,” Wade said.
Further, the sculptor said Ronaldo sent over a new football kit and his latest boots for the figure. “His team had added all the individual hairs to the waxwork’s head but they were not allowed to style it – this job was instead left for Ronaldo’s hair dresser to do in Madrid.” This is apparently the same hair dresser who travels to the Museum of Wax once a month to style the hair of Ronaldo’s original waxwork.
According to the newspaper, Ronaldo decided to invest in a second likeness of himself after making several visits to the first waxwork made in his honour which has stood in Madrid’s Museum of Wax since 2013.
The footballer’s second likeness is expected to be placed on display at a number of sites across Europe before it will eventually end up at his home. Ronaldo also has a museum of himself in Portugal.
