Zhang Ruoyun’s Madame Tussauds Wax Figure Wows with Lifelike Detail

Zhang Ruoyun’s New Wax Twin Steals the Spotlight at Madame Tussauds Shanghai — With a Dash of Cheeky Banter

Chinese heart-throb Zhang Ruoyun has officially joined the ranks of the wax elite at Madame Tussauds Shanghai, showing off a stunningly lifelike statue that had fans doing double-takes. 

Rocking a sleek black suit and that trademark bright, killer smile, Zhang Ruoyun turned up in person to unveil the wax figure and seemed genuinely chuffed about the whole experience.

As the curtain dropped to reveal his doppelgänger, Zhang Ruoyun couldn’t hide his excitement. He joked with fans that maybe he could send his wax twin to do some acting gigs on his behalf next time he’s busy. “The pose and the details are so spot on, I’m honestly shocked!” he exclaimed, clearly impressed by the artistry.

Ever the entertainer, Zhang Ruoyun put on a hilarious show interacting with the statue — he slung an arm around its shoulders, poked at its flawless face, and even took a good look at the back of its head, cracking up as he quipped, “Finally, I get to see the back of my own head!”

And because every superstar twin needs a name, Zhang Ruoyun gave his wax figure the cheeky moniker “Zhang Ruo-de” and encouraged everyone to come and snap a selfie if they’re in town: “If you’re in Shanghai, don’t forget to check out Zhang Ruo-de! Grab a photo, yeah?”

The new waxwork is set against a vivid Shanghai backdrop, mixing neon nostalgia with high-tech lighting — a perfect match for Zhang Ruoyun’s cinematic journey through his hit roles. 

Madame Tussauds even added an extra treat: Zhang Ruoyun wandered through the venue’s themed experience zones, from a Three-Body sci-fi immersion to a superhero battle zone, mingling with characters from his own shows and beyond.

Known for bringing unforgettable roles to life — from the sharp-witted Fan Xian in Joy of Life, to the honest copper Li Dawei in Ordinary Greatness, to the fiery Wang Zha in Evacuate the 21st Century — Zhang Ruoyun has made a name for himself with vivid, soulful performances. 

His wax twin captures that same spark, giving fans a fun, up-close look at a star who’s become one of China’s modern acting icons.

Shanghai’s Madame Tussauds really pulled out all the stops, and with Zhang Ruoyun’s personal flair for humour, the launch turned into a one-of-a-kind fan party rather than just another celeb appearance. One thing’s for sure: “Zhang Ruo-de” is about to become a hot photo spot for visitors — don’t be surprised if it goes viral!
