Unveiling his wax figure in his native Colombia before it heads to Madame Tussauds Orlando in April 2022, Maluma definitely had us guessing who was who.

Tiffany Haddish

Haddish went undercover to unveil her very own wax figure at Madame Tussauds Las Vegas in September 2021, and the encounter was one for the books!

Haddish shared a video of her meeting her copy on Instagram, writing in the caption, "@madametussaudsusa I am so Honored to be made into a wax figure that actually looks like me. Thank you to #madametussaudsusa and my glam squad hair by: @hair4kicks Make-up by: @makeupbydionne styled by: @luxurylaw."

"Hey girl, hey," Haddish said as she sees her own wax figure for the first time. "You look just like me, girl. The naps in the back matches my naps! Your dress is impeccable. She ready!"

After meeting her match, Haddish surprised museum-goers in a hilarious clip she shared on Instagram.

Jackie Chan

The actor got the star, well, wax treatment when Madame Tussauds New York released a handful of images showing his figure in places all over New York City, making his final stop in Times Square.

Fans can visit Chan at the Times Square Madame Tussauds location, where the statue will be on display. The wax museum unveiled the new figure on Jan. 28, 2020, just a few days after the Chinese New Year.

Aaliyah

The late singer was memorialized with a wax figure, ahead of the 18th anniversary of her death. Aaliyah's brother Rashad Haughton was in attendance as Madame Tussauds unveiled the look-a-like in Las Vegas on Aug. 21, 2019.

Clad in leather pants and metallic bra, the figure is a nod to Aaliyah's iconic "Try Again" music video from 2000.

Shawn Mendes

Who hasn't dreamt of holding hands with the "Señorita" singer? Madame Tussaud's Wax Museum in Berlin is now giving fans that chance.

The museum has provided a near-perfect replica of Mendes laying down on top of an artificial 2-D field of flowers with his left hand strategically open and ready for fans to hold on to. It's a perfect opportunity to snag a romantic photo with Mendes and probably the only way his girlfriend Camila Cabello would mind sharing her man.

Zac Efron

It's been a couple of years since Baywatch hit theaters, but Zac Efron has still kept his abs as a souvenir.

The actor dropped by The Ellen DeGeneres Show to talk about his Neflix film Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile, where he indulged the host in a bit of lighthearted conversation about their respective Madame Tussauds wax figures.

DeGeneres brought out Efron's to show how striking the resemblance was, capturing the actor in all his shirtless Baywatch glory, complete with bicep tattoo and armpit hair.

Kelly Ripa & Michael Strahan

Which hosts are the real ones? The IRL Ripa and Strahan (on the right) did a pretty good job of imitating their wax counterparts, which they unveiled on the Feb. 22, 2016, episode of their show. Strahan has since left, with Ryan Seacrest stepping in to co-host.

Grumpy Cat

The Internet sensation, who died in May 2019, broke new ground as Madame Tussauds' first ever wax cat, and its first animatronic work in more than a century. And she frankly couldn't have cared less. After a short stay in San Francisco, the feline figure toured five other Madame Tussauds across the country.

Kylie Minogue

How'd you like to find yourself under the Christmas tree? Minogue met her holiday-themed likeness just in time for Christmas, and she sure seemed to enjoy the unique present.

Laverne Cox

The actress and activist - who attended the unveiling at San Francisco's Madame Tussauds in December 2015 - became the first-ever transgender star to be honored with a wax figure. The Orange Is the New Black star shared a gorgeous snap from the event on Instagram, writing, "Thanks to the amazing citizens of San Francisco who petitioned for a Laverne Cox wax figure and thanks to Madame Tussauds for this amazing honor. #2015 #WhatAYear #TransIsBeautiful."

Adriana Lima

THE RIGHT TOUCH — Mayer RCF/Splash News Online

Now, this is what we call a Fashion Faceoff! The supermodel struck a pose as she unveiled her very own runway-ready wax figure at the Victoria's Secret store in New York City's Herald Square. And both Angels are all set to take the world (and the catwalks) by storm: "Me, myself and I...... Double trouble ?" Lima captioned an Instagram snap of her likeness.

Jane Lynch

The Glee star left fans seeing double on Aug. 4, 2010, when Lynch's onscreen alter-ego, Sue Sylvester, was immortalized in wax at Hollywood's Madame Tussauds.

13 of 56

Nicki Minaj

Madame Tussauds Berlin unveiled their latest wax figure on Jan. 7, 2020, but some fans were left wondering who exactly they were trying to portray.

"That must be Mikki Minach because that DAMN SURE ain't Nicki Minaj," one Twitter user wrote.

Another wrote, "melt it all down and try again smh."

This isn't the first time Madame Tussauds has gotten heat over their work. Minaj's 2015 wax figure in Las Vegas, which looks similar to her 2020 version, was called out by rapper Azealia Banks over Minaj being depicted on all fours.

Madame Tussauds defended their work to Fader in a statement, which read, in part:

"We made the decision to celebrate Minaj s unforgettable pose inspired by the "Anaconda" video because - thanks to her artistry and charisma - it resulted as one of the most iconic videos ever produced … As with all people we immortalize in our attractions, her representatives were kept informed every step of the way during the figure-creation process."

Helen Mirren

Hot dame! The Queen star faced off against her London counterpart on May 11, 2010, during its debut at the British capital's Madame Tussauds. "It's an incredible honor," Mirren said.

15 of 56

Jon Hamm

The actor and his wax statue of Mad Men's Don Draper (at Madame Tussauds New York, unveiled in May 2014 for the show's final season) are like night and day. Draper is suave, Hamm is silly (or at least, he thinks his sex symbol status is). Draper uses an 8mm, Hamm prefers selfies. Somehow they still get along just fine.

16 of 56

Alicia Keys

Be careful with the "Girl on Fire" - she might melt. The leather jumpsuit and sassy hip thrust prove that Keys's counterpart at Madame Tussauds in New York is in just as much of an "Empire State of Mind" as the original.

17 of 56

One Direction

Call them Two Direction? Boy banders Harry Styles, Zayn Malik, Louis Tomlinson, Liam Payne and Niall Horan must have been proud that the statue makers got the hair right when they went face to face with the faux five-some at Madam Tussauds in London. To the throngs of screaming fans: Remember, they're not real.

Carrie Fisher

The late Star Wars actress posed with her ever-present bulldog, Gary, and a throwback, bikini-clad wax figure of her as Princess Leia at Madame Tussauds London. "Before & after," Fisher captioned the photo.

Zendaya

The Disney star gave new meaning to the phrase "triple threat" when she unveiled not one, but two wax figurines at Madame Tussauds in San Francisco. Naturally, the music-minded star decided there was only one thing left to do with her doubles: form a girl group. "Presenting...the world premiere of...Zendestiny's Child," Zendaya joked on Instagram.

DIDDY

I can't believe it's not ... Diddy! "I didn't expect them to get this close to it," the hip-hop mogul marveled at the December 2009 unveiling of his likeness at New York's Madame Tussauds. "I'm definitely pleased."

GWEN STEFANI

Who's who? "That is so weird," the No Doubt rocker told friends when her ab-tastic look-alike was revealed in September 2011 at Madame Tussauds, inside The Venetian hotel in Las Vegas. "I can't believe it."

29 of 56

SNOOP DOGG

It's twice as nice for the rapper, who signed off with his likeness at Sin City's Madame Tussauds inside the Venetian Resort Hotel and Casino in April 2009. "Fa shizzle dizzle I said yes when asked," he told PEOPLE. "I'm honored! The D O double G got a double."

JIMMY FALLON

Because just one Jimmy Fallon wasn't enough for the world, Madame Tussauds created five wax lookalikes! To celebrate the March 2015 unveiling, all six Fallons teamed up to perform an increasingly nightmarish rendition of The Beach Boys' "Barbara Ann," which the Tonight Show host said he would definitely not be showing his two young daughters. "This is gonna freak them out. This is honestly therapy, immediate therapy. I'm not sure if my wife can even do this," he told PEOPLE.

JIM PARSONS

Sheldon Cooper would be proud - making The Big Bang Theory star Parsons' wax figure started with hundreds of measurements, more than 150 of them for the face and head alone. And Parsons is just as approving as his math-loving alter ego would be: He told PEOPLE in March 2015, "Every detail on this figure is incredibly accurate and precise. From the color of the eyes to the facial figures, you can tell how hard the artists and sculptors work to achieve such a realistic portrayal."

44 of 56

Don't worry - Mr. Worldwide fully approves of his lookalike's … assets. "It has my Cuban booty!" he told the crowd at the unveiling of the wax figure at Madame Tussauds Orlando in May 2015.

So he'll always be sexy."

FAITH HILL & TIM MCGRAW

Before the couple's August 2017 concert in Nashville, the singers stopped by Music City's Madame Tussauds to check out their likenesses.
