Madame Tussauds Shanghai
It’s my second day in Shanghai. And the first stop today is Madame Tussauds Shanghai. I’ve visited the Madame Tussauds exhibition at World Trade Centre years ago when it was brought into Singapore. I remember I was still in uni then…i guess…
At Madame Tussauds’, everything is life-sized. It’s like seeing the real celebrity in his skin. Visitors like us are given an opportunity to get close up to the stars (which we can’t get access to in real life) and then take some pictures. If you want to get close and chummy, there’s no one stopping you too…hehehe…
A huge Yao Ming 姚明 greeted us before we took the lift to Madame Tussauds on the 10th floor of 新世界商厦. Yao Ming is huge. For the record, the star player for Houston Rockets stands at 2.29m. I’m a mere dwarf standing next to him, man…
2.29m Yao Ming – any takers?
At the main entrance, we were greeted by yet another famous Chinese icon – Liu Xiang 刘翔. Liu Xiang is a Chinese 110m hurdler, an Olympic Gold medalist, the reigning World Champion and the world record holder in the 110m hurdles at 12.88 seconds.
Glory for China
The museum is divided into different sections. Among the various sections, I particularly like the glamour and gossip sections…hehehe…After all, what is life without a little stardust and grapevine right?
A rather sombre and frail looking Tony Leung greeted me when I stepped into the museum. Hey, whatever happened to the suave Tony who acted in the French hit “The Lover” where he bared his butt cheeks? No wonder none of the ladies in the tour group bothered to get close to him. Poor Tony…I think he’s more comfortable being left alone.

As compared to Tony, this lady was a hit. She’s Rosamund Kwan – the perennial beauty. I think she must be in her late 40s, but her complexion is still so good. Envy envy…Both guys and gals clamoured to pose with her. And of course, me too

Being star struck is a real understatement. Everywhere you turn, you see celebrities and stars. I think the museum people really had a hard time deciding who gets exhibited here huh…but Chinese stars or Western stars, they are all bunched together. For once, no race conflict…phew…Madonna, Julia Roberts, Aaron Kwok, Tom Cruise, David Beckham, Bruce Lee and many many more…
If Madonna can open her legs, so can I :p
My favourite female movie star – Julia Roberts
Aaron Kwok & Coco Lee
Sorry Katie, I’m borrowing Tom Cruise…
Me for Zhang Yimou’s next film, together with Michelle Yeoh?
With so much eye candy to oogle and photograph, no wonder I was really kept busy at the museum. To be honest, it was not only me, but the people who helped me to take photos as well…hehehe…
Me with Twins
Let’s sing with Na Ying & Joey Yung…
Michael Jackson & Kylie Minogue
She’s Mum’s idol. Also mine. Theresa Teng.
With bad boy Robbie Williams
Marilyn Monroe in her 7 year old itch costume
Audrey Hepburn looking stunning as ever
Guess I was quite disappointed when I saw Louis Koo. On screen, he’s always being portrayed as the cool guy…but in real life, he’s actually quite skinny and has no chest! oops…hmm…guess the camera lies too huh?
Blue haired Louis Koo?
Here’s everybody’s all-time hero. The one who sells jerseys by the seconds. Yes, David Beckham…looking suave and sharp…in his new jersey.
Bend it like Beckham
Me looking regal like Prince William
When I saw Bruce Lee, I shouted for joy. He’s the REAL kungfu master – the rest can just stand aside please.
My hero Bruce Lee & screen hero James Bond 007
Albert Einstein anyone?
At the exit of the museum stood Andy Lau. I couldn’t get close to him coz he was protected by barricades. But I read from Chinese reports that this Andy Lau has a real beating heart and girls have been touching him all over, going gaga over his heartbeat. No wonder the museum people had to change Andy’s clothes so often…
Forever youthful Andy Lau
And of course, we must thank one great lady for daring to dream big and fulfilling it for the betterment of all mankind – Madame Tussauds. Thank you Madam!
