Entertainment - Doppelganger in wax - Roland Kaiser at Madame Tussauds
Singer Roland Kaiser saw his wax figure for the first time, made by Madame Tussauds for the Berlin exhibition. "Incredible", said the 72-year-old singer hours before the start of his annual "Kaisermania" concert series in Dresden. "A perfect doppelganger, one could say."
The figure is identical to him down to every hair and wrinkle, but his outfit is different: instead of the classic blue two-piece suit with a colorful insert, Kaiser wore a red pants and dark blue jacket for the press conference - and was fascinated by his look-alike.
Madame Tussauds chose Kaiser, who will celebrate his 50-year stage anniversary in 2024, for their gathering of prominent international artists, including Taylor Swift and Helene Fischer. "It's an honor, no question," said Kaiser. His look-alike will stand in a miniature "Kaisermania" set, with the famous Dresden Old Town skyline and videos of his legendary shows - and will be publicly viewable starting this Saturday.
"That's high art"
Before the curtain was lifted, he hesitated and asked, "And, does it look like me?" His wife was shocked, "because she thought you were already there," the event host explained. Just a few minutes later, the singer was obviously pleased with his double, posed behind it for the photographers, and took the same pose.
Five hours he had sat for the specialists from Madame Tussauds to model for the copy of himself, which was then made in the famous London workshops of the renowned wax museum. He had seen what a "hard work" it was. "The perfection, that's high art," said Kaiser. Every detail is correct, "even the wedding ring."
