Thu Nov 20 14:20:00 UTC 2025: ## Jeff Goldblum Gets the Wax Treatment, and This Time It’s a Hit!
New York, NY – Jeff Goldblum, currently starring as the Wizard in the upcoming “Wicked: For Good” films, had a magical moment on Wednesday as Madame Tussauds New York unveiled his remarkably lifelike wax figure. The 73-year-old actor posed alongside his doppelganger, both sporting black-framed glasses, though Goldblum opted for a stylish all-white ensemble while the wax figure donned a classic black outfit.
Unlike some previous celebrity wax figure mishaps – remember the Rihanna fiasco in Berlin or the Beyoncé statue that resembled Leah Remini? – this one is a clear winner. Social media is buzzing with praise for the uncanny resemblance.
The unveiling comes amidst a busy press tour for “Wicked: For Good,” the two-part adaptation of the beloved Broadway musical. Director Jon M. Chu recently shared insights into the film’s set, describing it as a playful “kindergarten” atmosphere fueled by the energy of stars Ariana Grande (Glinda), Cynthia Erivo (Elphaba), and Jonathan Bailey (Prince Fiyero). Chu emphasized the collaborative spirit and trust he built with the cast, allowing them to explore and innovate within the beloved story.
The first installment of “Wicked” has already become a pop culture phenomenon, with audiences embracing the film and its stars. Chu expressed his delight at seeing a new generation connect with the world of Oz and the iconic characters of Elphaba and Glinda.
Goldblum, during a recent appearance on “Today,” also shared his affection for the film and his connection with co-star Jonathan Bailey, adding further excitement to the “Wicked” anticipation.
