Harry Kane has described being immortalised as a waxwork at Madame Tussauds in London as "like looking in a mirror." The England captain, currently in Miami ahead of the World Cup starting next week, expressed a "weird feeling" upon seeing the intricate details of the figure.
Lifelike Replica Created with Care
Artists from the renowned London attraction collaborated closely with Kane to produce the lifelike replica. The waxwork features Kane in an England kit and boots, with his right foot resting on a football. Kane remarked: "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."
Remarkable Attention to Detail
Kane highlighted the realism of the figure: "Seeing the final result was a special moment; the eyes are so realistic, and they even remembered the tape on my wedding finger that I kiss to celebrate when I score a goal – it's like looking in the mirror!" He added: "My wife, Kate, and my four kids came down to the unveiling, and it was a proud moment for us all. The studio team have put so much care into every detail. It's definitely strange looking at yourself like that, but I'm really pleased with how it turned out."
Inspiration for Young Fans
The waxwork will reside in Kane's hometown of London. Young players from his boyhood club Ridgeway Rovers in Walthamstow, North London, have already previewed the figure before its public unveiling. Kane expressed: "I can't wait for young fans to pose next to the figure-version of me in London, and I hope seeing this will inspire children to keep working hard, believing in themselves and enjoying every moment of the journey."
Part of Culture Capital Zone
The figure joins Madame Tussauds London's Culture Capital zone alongside sporting icons such as Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi, Mo Salah, Mary Earps, Sir Lewis Hamilton, Anthony Joshua, Kylian Mbappe, and, arriving later in summer 2026, Lando Norris. Steve Blackburn, general manager at Madame Tussauds London, stated: "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. Our studio team loved working closely with Harry as they share the same obsession with detail and an expert finish, and it was great to see his reaction."
