Philippine cinema’s “Phenomenal Box-Office Queen” Kathryn Bernardo will be immortalized in wax at Madame Tussauds Hong Kong, joining the ranks of Filipino icons Pia Wurtzbach, Manny Pacquiao, Anne Curtis, Catriona Gray and Lea Salonga.
Madame Tussauds confirmed that Bernardo’s wax figure will be unveiled in 2026. The announcement follows the record-breaking success of Hello, Love, Again, which earned more than P1 billion worldwide — the highest gross for a Filipino film to date.
Wade Chang, general manager of Madame Tussauds Hong Kong, said Bernardo’s inclusion reflects the museum’s growing connection with Filipino fans.
“Kathryn is an inspiring artist who has worked tirelessly to achieve her success. At Madame Tussauds, we honor excellence with a global impact, making her the perfect choice for our next Filipino wax figure,” Chang said.
Bernardo described the honor as a dream come true and thanked the Madame Tussauds team for their trust.
“I’m excited for my fans worldwide to visit and interact with my twin, especially since it’s such a meaningful milestone for me,” she said.
From child star to box-office icon, Bernardo’s wax likeness will soon stand alongside global stars such as Rihanna, Johnny Depp and Robert Pattinson.
