The Mad Max actor’s waxwork was unveiled at the London attraction on Thursday, with fans already swooning over the handsome replica. Hardy’s dapper waxwork figure is decked out in a black suit, complete with a waistcoat, and a pristine white shirt. It also features a soft, warm torso with a beating heart that has already won the affection of fans at the official unveiling.

It truly does look just like him.

Is the couch made out of wax also?

Nope. Couch is real. In tussauds now they encourage you to get right up close to the waxworks. In this case they want you to sit down next to him for a selfie. I had a picture of myself with George W. From their Niagara falls location, but it got lost in a hard drive crash. Just as well.

Was joking about the couch. I want the Tussauds when I was a kid. Some of the figures are kinda creepy.

Hope he was not serious about that. He was fantastic in Nemesis, Band of Brothers, Inception, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, and This Means War.

What's the spread on how long before some teenage girl takes the first souvenir? Finger, button, ear?

For some reason, high school girls like to steal. It's why, at Walmart, cosmetics are in locked cases...

Well, the line is spoken by the actor Tom Hardy, but the line belonged to the character Bane. The line, I suppose, was true for Bane. But as you say, not true for Hardy at the time of “The Dark Knight Rises”. His reputation was already established.

I do recall a chill followed by a laugh when I realized the Tussaud's Museum guard who was staring at me was also made of wax.

His Sykes was as good as Oliver Reed’s.

Good catch and one I missed while watching that terrible flick. As much of a rabid "Dark Knight" fan as I am, the films really do not reflect the Batman as I have come to know him.

He's also exceptional as the London Jewish gangster Alfie Solomons in the series Peaky Blinders.

His acting was a tour de force in “Legend,” playing the part of twin gangster brothers.
