The Egyptian model’s captivating and intimate display left everyone in awe. Upon seeing his wax figure, the Liverpool forward exclaimed, “That looks exactly like me; it’s like looking into a mirror.” This prompted the question of whether his abs on the wax figure were real. Nonetheless, Salah expressed his excitement and satisfaction with the meticulous attention to detail in his new waxwork. Taking funny pictures with his replica, Salah couldn’t believe the realism and remarked, “It’s like looking at my own picture in a mirror.” He eagerly anticipated the crowd’s reaction.
Collaborating with the artists at Madame Tussauds London to create his first wax figure was an incredible experience for Salah. Tim Waters, the general manager of Madame Tussauds London, praised Salah as one of the game’s greats and deserving of a wax figure. Since rejoining Liverpool four years ago, Salah has been a sensation in the Premier League, scoring an impressive 137 goals in 214 appearances.
In addition to winning two Golden Boots, Salah played a pivotal role in Liverpool’s Premier League title victory in 2020, ending a 30-year drought. The footballer was captivated by the lifelike resemblance of his waxwork, even verifying if it had the same abs as him. He celebrated his goal-scoring record in his signature style, raising his arms. During the photoshoot, he even wore the cream suit from his GQ Middle East cover.
With Salah leading the way, Liverpool is set to face their arch-rivals Manchester United at Old Trafford on Sunday, under the guidance of manager Jurgen Klopp. Salah enjoyed capturing some amusing moments with his waxwork, adding an element of fun to the experience.
