Zlatan Ibrahimovic has undeniably etched his name into the annals of PSG’s history within just two seasons, leaving an indelible mark on both the club and Ligue 1. His influence extends far beyond the football pitch.
Following his memorable appearance as a puppet on Canal+’s Les Guignols de l’info, the Swedish football icon is set to receive a prestigious honor: a place in the Grévin museum, as reported by L’Equipe. Ibrahimovic expressed his gratitude, stating, “It is of course a great honor to join the Grévin museum, alongside esteemed individuals. I am deeply humbled.”
The meticulous process of creating his wax figure involves casting his hands, scanning and measuring his body, determining hair color, ensuring accurate implantation, and meticulously noting every detail to achieve a perfect resemblance to the original. This painstaking task requires six months of dedication. Ibrahimovic humorously invites fans to “come see” him every day once the statue is unveiled.
This milestone marks the first time a foreign athlete will be immortalized in the museum’s halls on Boulevard Montmartre.
