After a statue and pooping figurines, Cristiano Ronaldo now has his own waxwork in the lastest addition to Madame Tussauds footballing Pantheon.
The life-like statue of the Real Madrid star was unveiled in Madame Tussauds London on Wednesday as part of the build-up to the World Cup.
The £150,000 figure was created after the Portuguese winger sat with sculptors in December last year.
"The World Cup is one of the biggest events in the sporting calendar so it’s fitting we’re welcoming one of soccer’s most exciting talents to the attraction to mark the occasion," said Liz Edwards, the museum's spokeswoman.
"2010 is definitely a football crazy year here at Madame Tussauds. We have been overwhelmed with public requests to feature Cristiano Ronaldo and he will join the attraction hot on the heels of fellow international star, Liverpool’s Steven Gerrard, who joined the attraction in February."
The 25-year-old joins fellow footballers Gerrard, Pelé and David Beckham at the events venue.
