Kylian Mbappe reacts to striking statue
After getting over his initial surprise at the extraordinary likeness, Mbappe quipped: "He looks more like Kylian than me!"
The 25-year-old couldn't hide his amazement at just how accurately the figure has captured his appearance and likeness per the video on social media.
From his trademark celebratory stance to the minute details of his facial features, the wax statue is an uncanny representation of one of the world's best players.
Mbappe is the latest global superstar to be honored with a waxwork, following in the footsteps of fellow icons like Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi and David Beckham.
It comes amid huge speculation over his future, with Mbappe widely expected to join Real Madrid after confirming his PSG exit when his contract expires this summer.
But before potentially departing Paris, the former Monaco prodigy has been immortalized in wax as recognition of his incredible achievements so far.
Despite only being 25 years old, Mbappe has already won a World Cup with France and multiple league titles in an enormously successful career to date.
He will no doubt be hoping to add many more trophies and personal accolades to his collection in the years ahead - maybe even alongside his uncanny wax doppelganger.
