‘A firm fan favourite, he shines as brightly on screen as he does on the front cover of Vogue or GQ, never compromising who he is or what he stands for, captivating not only hearts but minds too.

‘We can’t wait for fans to see his first ever Madame Tussauds figure. 

‘The team here are having a lot of fun combing through his fashion back catalogue to choose the perfect outfit and will be spending a lot of time perfecting those trademark chiselled cheekbones – they may even be the most distinctive we’ve worked on yet!’

Timothee is now back in Los Angeles after spending five months filming the new Charlie and the Chocolate Factory prequel Wonka in the UK. 

Appearing on Friday’s The Graham Norton Show, the Dune star said of the movie: ‘I am proud of all the films I have done but this is my favourite. 

‘It is the most fun I’ve had working on anything ever. It is sweet and good and will fill you with joy.’

He added of working in the UK, ‘We shot the film in London so, after spending five months here I feel like an honorary Brit – it was joyous.’

It was revealed last month that Timothee’s girlfriend Kylie Jenner flew to London to support the actor at the Wonka party.

Kylie previously dated Travis Scott – who she shares daughter Stormi, 5, and 22-month-old son Aire with – on/off from 2017 until December 2022.

Meanwhile Timothee has been linked to Lily-Rose Depp, Eiza Gonzalez and Lourdes Leon.

The actor has been busy recently promoting the new Wonka film, in which he stars alongside the likes of Olivia Colman, who plays Mrs. Scrubbit and Hugh Grant, who plays an Oompa Loompa.
