A lifelike waxwork of England captain Harry Kane has been unveiled at Madame Tussauds London, just days before the World Cup kicks off. The figure, dressed in a Three Lions kit and boots with his right foot resting on a football, was created in close collaboration with the Bayern Munich striker.
Kane, who is currently in Miami preparing for the tournament, described the experience as a “weird feeling” and said seeing the detail in the figure was “like looking in a mirror”. The waxwork even includes the tape on his wedding finger that he kisses after scoring a goal.
The former Tottenham star said: “It was a real honour to get the call from Madame Tussauds. It’s one of those things that you never expect to happen. London is a special place for me, and I’ve lived here pretty much my whole life, so it’s the perfect city to have my first figure – it feels like a true full-circle moment.”
Kane’s wife Kate and their four children attended the unveiling. Young players from his boyhood club, Ridgeway Rovers in Walthamstow, north London, were given a preview before the public reveal. Kane expressed hope that the figure would inspire children to “keep working hard, believing in themselves and enjoying every moment of the journey”.
The waxwork will be displayed in Madame Tussauds London’s Culture Capital zone alongside sporting stars including Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi, Mo Salah, Mary Earps, Sir Lewis Hamilton, Anthony Joshua, Kylian Mbappe, and Lando Norris, who will arrive in summer 2026.
Steve Blackburn, general manager at Madame Tussauds London, said: “Harry Kane is one of the most important figures in global sport both on the pitch and beyond, so we knew we had to bring his first-ever figure home to London from Friday June 5 ahead of the FIFA World Cup.”
