Carmelo Anthony has been awarded the honor of having his image in wax at famed Madame Tussauds Wax Museum in New York. On his visit to see the piece, the New York Knicks’ star forward posed as himself and “came to life,” stunning passersby.
The wax likeness bears an uncanny resemblance to Anthony – from its tattoos, headband and sleeves and facial features.
Anthony decided to put on his Knicks uniform and pose, stiff as a board before shocking visitors by addressing them.
“Hey! Hey!’ he yelled at a man who came in trying to block wax Anthony’s shot. He scared t a young couple just as they get close to him.
“I do some acting but that was probably one of the toughest acting jobs to do,” Anthony said, “cause it is right on the spot.”
Anthony’s acting roes nclude spots on Showtime’s Nurse Jackie, and Sesame Street with teammate Amar’e Stoudemire
Melo joins New York sports stars Derek Jeter, David Wright and Eli Manning in the museum’s “Sports Zone” which also includes Michael Jordan and Serena Williams among others.
