In a career spanning 25 years, Anne Curtis has dazzled audiences as an actress, TV host, endorser, and philanthropist. Now, her star power reaches a new milestone—immortalised in wax at Madame Tussauds Hong Kong, unveiled on November 24.
Curtis is the first Filipino actress and TV host to be featured in the museum’s illustrious “Hong Kong Glamour Zone”, standing alongside Hollywood icons such as Nicole Kidman, Angelina Jolie, and Brad Pitt. The achievement marks a historic moment for both Curtis and her Filipino fans, further cementing her status as a global multimedia star.

“I am beyond lucky to have been given this opportunity,” Curtis shares. “This was a dream come true for me, especially to join artists at Madame Tussauds whom I also look up to. I can’t wait to be there with my fellow Filipinos and for our kababayans in Hong Kong to visit us.”

Her wax figure showcases Curtis in a pose familiar to her fans, paired with a cream-coloured Dior gown that encapsulates her signature style. “The skill they’ve used to measure me was so impressive,” Curtis says of the sitting process, where a team of UK-based sculptors captured her likeness through 360-degree photographs and meticulous measurements. “This look was precisely who I am and how I wanted to inspire people who will engage with my wax figure.”
Curtis’ inclusion in the Glamour Zone isn’t just about celebrity—it’s a celebration of Filipino talent. From her award-winning performances in films like No Other Woman and Sid & Aya to her enduring role as a host on It’s Showtime, Curtis has become a household name in the Philippines and beyond. Her philanthropic work with UNICEF and recognition as one of Tatler’s Asia’s Most Influential further highlight her multifaceted influence.

Madame Tussauds Hong Kong has become a must-visit destination for tourists, offering immersive experiences that allow fans to pose with their favourite stars. Curtis’ addition is expected to draw even more Filipino tourists, eager to see their idol immortalised among global icons.
