Zlatan Ibrahimovic Honoured with Wax Statue at Paris’ Grévin Museum
Paris Saint-Germain’s enigmatic star Zlatan Ibrahimovic has once again made headlines — this time not for a goal or a bold statement on the pitch, but for being immortalised in wax. On Monday evening, the Swedish forward unveiled his lifelike statue at the iconic Grévin Museum in Paris.
The striker, known as much for his dazzling talent as his self-assured charisma, was visibly pleased with the tribute. “It’s incredible. My double looks very focused, just like me on the pitch,” Ibrahimovic said with a smirk. “Thank you very much for this fantastic work. I’m very proud, as a Swede, to receive this recognition — as a PSG player too, and of course as a man. It’s a great honour to be represented in this historic museum. I’m very happy.”
With typical flair, the 33-year-old couldn’t resist adding a signature touch of bravado: “You can now come and see me up close. That was the goal. And don’t forget to take my picture… The next step? I don’t know… maybe replace the Eiffel Tower with my statue.”
The remark drew laughter, but also underlined what fans have come to expect from the striker — a blend of confidence, humour, and showmanship.
Ibrahimovic, who joined PSG in 2012 and played a major role in the club’s rise to dominance in French football, becomes the latest footballing icon to be featured at the Grévin Museum. His inclusion places him alongside sporting greats and entertainment legends, marking his influence not just on the pitch, but in Parisian popular culture.
As always with Zlatan, modesty took a back seat — but then again, that’s exactly how his fans like him.
