Soccer sensation Vinicius Junior, known as Vini Jr., gave fans an unforgettable experience at Merlin Entertainments’ Madame Tussauds New York. In an epic play, Vini Jr. stood motionless among the lifelike wax figures, kicking off a fun scare by breaking out of his sly disguise and surprising guests that he was indeed IRL. The playful trick comes on the heels of Vini Jr. “sitting” for Madame Tussauds to begin the creation of his very own wax figure, which will come out next year.

 

“I’m so pumped to be getting a wax figure at Madame Tussauds! It’s such a cool way for fans to connect with me. I can’t wait to see how it turns out and share it with everyone!” said Vini Jr.

With a flair for the spectacular and a reputation as one of the sport’s brightest talents, Vini Jr. continues to captivate fans and make history on the world stage. 

 

"Vini Jr. is an incredible soccer talent and we can’t wait to welcome him to our family of waxed stars," said Head of Marketing for Madame Tussauds New York Tiago Mogadouro. "His fun loving and infectious personality made his surprise appearance today a memorable event for everyone. We know his wax figure will be a huge hit with fans."
