"Meeting my Madame Tussauds wax figure was such a surreal, pinch me moment and a true honour," Troye says. "Thank you to the Madame Tussauds team – the figure is absolutely amazing – I can’t get over how life-like it is, I love it!"

Troye spent several hours working with the Madame Tussauds' team of artists and posed in numerous photos to help mould his look circa 2018-19. The finished figure graces Madame Tussauds Sydney's music zone – Sydney Live. The zone immerses visitors in the world of live gigs and features Aussie and global superstars such as Lady Gaga, P!nk, Keith Urban and, of course, Troye Sivan.

"As well as being a singing, song-writing, superstar, Troye is a role model and inspiration to the LGBTQI+ communities around the world and we are so honoured that Troye came to meet his Madame Tussauds figure during the Sydney Mardi Gras," Madame Tussauds Sydney General Manager Richard Dilly says.

"Troye has a huge local fan base and it has been amazing to see how excited they are when they meet his figure for the first time, but no reaction will be as memorable as Troye meeting Troye with his family by his side, it was beautiful."
