Days after being honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, Jim Parsons has the privilege to unveil his new wax figure. On Friday, March 13, the 41-year-old actor unveiled the wax work for Madame Tussauds Orlando after which it will then be shipped to Florida for the attraction's grand opening on May 4.
PEOPLE reported that it took "more than 150 measurements of his face and head, and another 100 measurements of his entire body." It took six weeks for a group of artists and sculptors to create the figurine which head weighs 9.9 lbs.
"Every detail on this figure is incredibly accurate and precise," Parsons proudly said of his wax work. "From the color of the eyes to the facial figures, you can tell how hard the artists and sculptors work to achieve such a realistic portrayal."
In an attempt to complete the look of the wax figure, Parsons even donated clothes that he had worn on the set of his show. He was joined for the unveiling by "The Big Bang Theory" co-star Simon Helberg.
