“I mean, that was crazy. It was a trip. I’ve seen a lot of shit in my life. This is something really special. It’s really cool and I feel very honored,” he said. Extra.
He was thrilled with the level of detail the museum had gone to when making the wax figure, which “is wearing my old suit and shoes,” he said.

“It was a pleasure working with Andy to create his first wax figure,” enthused Madame Tussauds’ Head of Marketing Matthew Clarkson.
“So many of us know and love Andy, especially when it comes to unravelling the drama of reality and revealing the truth. We are thrilled that he is part of Madame Tussauds New York!” Matthew continued.
