Madame Tussauds is known for their remarkable wax figures in the likeness of many celebrities and other prominent personalities on display in their museums around the world.

This week, one particular waxwork is turning heads for its particularly uncanny resemblance to a Hollywood luminary.

Last week, Black Panther actress Angela Bassett posted an Instagram video of her reaction to her very lifelike wax figure of herself at Madame Tussauds in Hollywood.

"I see me!" exclaimed the Oscar nominee at first glance, adding, "Oh Lord, I'm a twin."

"Hey, me. Oh God, it looks so lifelike," she giggled.

"It's like it's gonna jump alive and give me a hug."

Bassett even gave her approval after inspecting the figure's backside. "Look at my derrière, even that's cute," remarked the 63-year-old Golden Globe winner.

Bassett additionally posted a photo posing next to the figure and added the caption, "Seeing double."



Fellow actors and musician friends commented on how impressive the new figure was.

People were doing double-takes on Twitter after the Madame Tussauds USA Twitter page tweeted the unveiling on September 17 and made references to Bassett's films, Waiting to Exhale and Black Panther.

"The wait to exhale is over, The Queen of Wakanda herself, Angela Bassett has arrived!"
"The ageless icon has been officially immortalized by Madame Tussauds Hollywood."




People had a hard time being able to tell the two Angela Bassetts apart.







There was praise all around.

Bassett made her breakthrough in Hollywood portraying legendary music icon Tina Turner in her biopic, What's Love Got to Do with It (in 1993) which earned her an Oscar nomination for Best Actress.

She currently produces and stars as a regular on the Fox drama series 911, playing LAPD patrol sergeant Athena Grant.

Along with Bassett, Madame Tussauds Hollywood also honored actresses, Tiffany Haddish, and Jennifer Hudson, with their respective lifelike figures that made fans see double.

MAGA Fan Has Unhinged Meltdown After Starbucks Barista Doesn't Call Out 'Charlie Kirk' With Her Order

For anyone who isn't familiar with Starbucks ordering protocol, the cashier will ask for a name to put on the cup.

When the order is done, the barista will call out the name on the cup to let the customer know their order is ready. However, if there aren't many people in the store, it's not uncommon for a person to just have their drink handed to them or brought to their table if they're seated.

Melania Trump Dragged After Sharing Bizarre AI 'Teleportation' Video

The video was first shared by the X account @MelaniaMeme. In it, the digital Mrs. Trump appears to teleport into a high-rise—likely Trump Tower—with a glittering cityscape in the background. She steps forward, looks directly into the camera, glances down, then back up again, without uttering a word.

Bad Bunny Hilariously Trolls Fox News Over Their Super Bowl Outrage In 'SNL' Season Opener

Puerto Rican rapper Bad Bunny took aim at Fox News and the conservative outrage over his upcoming Super Bowl halftime show during the season 51 premiere of Saturday Night Live over the weekend, joking that all of his critics have "four months to learn" Spanish if they're that bothered about him singing in his native tongue during football's biggest night.

Bad Bunny will be the first Latin male artist to headline the halftime show, but many of President Donald Trump's supporters have vowed to boycott the event. At least one far-right figure said Bad Bunny "will just further divide the American people" and suggested that either the right-wing performers Kid Rock or Jason Aldean should headline the show instead.
