Madame Tussauds Hong Kong is set to sizzle this summer as superstar
Aaron Kwok becomes the next in line to be immortalized in wax at the new and
interactive attraction scheduled to reopen in May 2006.
Selected for his outstanding achievements in the world of entertainment, the
all-round performer attracts huge crowds whenever he appears in concerts, which
are renowned for extravagant staging, lavish costumes and dramatic settings.
With fan clubs throughout Asia, Aaron is sure to be one of the most adored wax
figures at Madame Tussauds Hong Kong.
Aaron was also awarded the Best Actor Golden Horse Award in 2005 for his
performance in the film 'Divergence' and further proved his versatility as an
entertainer by picking up the Hong Kong Dance Award in the same year.
Aaron's achievements are not confined to the stage and screen and in 2003 he
was recognized as one of the "Ten Outstanding Young Persons". Apart from being
an active participant in various charity programmes including Po Leung Kuk, the
Hong Kong Jockey Club and WWF, Aaron set up his own foundation in 2000 and is a
regular contributor to various charities. Specific projects Aaron has been
dedicated to include building schools in mountainous areas in Mainland China and
elderly welfare.
At Madame Tussauds Hong Kong, Aaron will make an impression in the Hong Kong
Glamour hall where he will star alongside Hollywood's A-list including Hugh
Grant, Brad Pitt, Michelle Yeoh and Elizabeth Taylor at what will be the hottest
celebrity party in town.
During the sitting for his wax figure, Aaron talked easily about his upcoming
show and proudly displayed the costume he is donating for his wax figure to
wear. Typical to his dazzling style, Aaron will strike a flamboyant pose in a
loose black jacket adorned with bursts of colorful flowers, as the handsome star
sexily shows off his muscular torso and invites guests to get up close and
personal. Designed by internationally renowned art director William Chang, Aaron
wore the outfit during his Mega Hits Live in Concert 2004.
Kelly Mak, Head of Marketing & Customer Services of Madame Tussauds Hong
Kong said, "We're very excited to welcome Aaron Kwok to the Madame Tussauds Hong
Kong all star family. Hong Kong Glamour is one of the new and interactive themed
areas and is part of Madame Tussauds Hong Kong's HK$20 million expansion
project.
"Aaron's eager fans will be thrilled to see how close they can get to him as
he stands in his element at the celebrity party in the Hong Kong Glamour hall."
Aaron Kwok said: "The new Madame Tussauds Hong Kong is going to be an
interactive party for every guest and I am delighted to be a part of the
excitement. For those fans I haven't had the chance to meet, my likeness doesn't
have the hectic schedule I keep so you can see me anytime at Madame Tussauds
Hong Kong!"
