A good Madame Tussauds wax figure can be as disturbing as it is impressive. At times, the wax figures look so identical to their real-life counterparts that, honestly, we aren't convinced the celebrity wasn't dipped into a vat of wax to create the sculpture. The museum just revealed its figure for Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker, and it looked so identical to the actual man that we had to do several double-takes before we could even identify who was real versus fake.
On October 22, Travis Barker shared a few photos alongside his Madame Tussauds wax figure, which is displayed in the Las Vegas museum. Looking at these two side by side, would you be able to guess who is the wax figure versus the real deal? The real Barker was wearing a red t-shirt and a black beanie while his wax counterpart was dressed in a leather jacket.

The sculptors perfected every last detail of the drummer, from his double nose rings to the many tattoos decorating his body. Looking at these two is like playing a game of trying to guess the differences between these two identical photos. Seriously, the eyes are extremely uncanny.
Fans and friends were also amazed by the resemblance. One user commented, “This has got to be the most accurate wax figure in history.” Another user said, “He looks more like you than you.” Even Khloe Kardashian noted she couldn't tell the difference between her brother-in-law and his figure.
Barker was just as impressed by the resemblance: He referred to the figure as his clone in the caption, and not a single lie was told. Barker, how does it feel to have found your long-lost twin?
