THE NATIONAL WAX Museum recently moved to Westmoreland Street in Dublin – and it boasts wax sculptures of everything from Father Ted to the… Good Friday Agreement.
And today they got a high profile new member of the waxwork crew:
This Conor McGregor sculpture was unveiled
They’ve got the stance, the suit, the clothes and the beard pretty much down.
But his face doesn’t look all that much like The Notorious, to be fair
Waxworks are a difficult thing to get right, and the museum explained the process:
a new and innovative artistic and technical process that involved 3D scanning in the conjunction with wax sculpting was used to create an uncannily lifelike wax character
Hmm.
Conor’s dad Tony was in the house to celebrate the unveiling though
And they went all out on the suit they have him in
The tricolour was stuck up behind for maximum McGregor effect
He’s been positioned beside the current US President Donald Trump on the floor
High profile company.
It’s impossible to know what McGregor himself would think of it, but one famous quote of his does come to mind:
“Who the f**k is that guy?”
Next stop for him after the fight when he’s back in Dublin will surely be the National Waxwork Museum for a gawk up close.
