PREVIEW

Madame Tussauds London has revealed that multi-award-winning actress Gillian Anderson OBE is set to be immortalised in wax for the very first time, with her figure to be unveiled later this year.

Behind-the-scenes footage shows the attraction’s expert artists working closely with the Sex Education and The Crown star, taking hundreds of precise measurements and reference photos to ensure every detail is captured to perfection.

The announcement comes as the 56-year-old actress enjoys a huge year in her career, with a string of major projects hitting screens in 2025. Anderson stars in Disney’s sci-fi blockbuster Tron: Ares, Channel 4’s gripping new drama Trespasses, and Netflix’s highly anticipated American Western The Abandons, due for release in December.

With a Golden Globe, an Emmy, and countless other accolades to her name, Anderson has firmly established herself as one of the most versatile performers of her generation. Off-screen, she’s just as admired for her advocacy on women’s rights, her philanthropic work, and her bold, fashion-forward style.

Speaking about the experience, Anderson said: "It’s been incredible to have up-close access to watch the expert Madame Tussauds London team at work — the level of precision and detail that goes into these works of art is extraordinary. I can’t wait to see the finished piece and share the final look with fans in the London attraction later this year."

Steve Blackburn, General Manager at Madame Tussauds London, added: "Gillian epitomises the modern-day icon — celebrated on stage, screen and red carpets worldwide, it was about time we created her first-ever figure! We’re honoured to be working with Gillian herself to capture an exact likeness, and our team has been hard at work ensuring her signature glamour is perfectly replicated. Fans are going to love seeing which iconic look we’ve chosen — together with Gillian — for her debut at Madame Tussauds London."
