After dropping hints, Madame Tussauds has confirmed that Kathryn Bernardo is set to be immortalized in wax at the world-famous museum in 2026.
Through an Instagram post on Wednesday, Oct. 22, the wax museum confirmed Bernardo’s wax figure will be revealed next year.
“The countdown is over-Madame Tussauds Hong Kong is welcoming Kathryn Bernardo! Known as the ‘Phenomenal Box-Office Queen,’ she starred in the first Filipino film to hit 1 billion pesos globally! Her wax figure drops in 2026,” read the caption.
Bernardo, who is set to become the youngest Filipino celebrity to have her wax figure, will join Manny Pacquiao, Pia Wurtzbach, Catriona Gray, Lea Salonga, and Anne Curtis, who already have wax figures in Asia.
Beginning her career as a child star, Bernardo gained prominence after starring in the 2010 remake of “Mara Clara.” She later headlined some of the country’s highest-grossing films, including “The Hows of Us” (2018), “Hello, Love, Goodbye” (2019), and “Hello, Love, Again” (2024).
“Hello, Love, Again” was the first Filipino movie to surpass ₱1 billion in worldwide gross. It is the sequel to “Hello, Love, Goodbye,” where she stars opposite Alden Richards.
Bernardo is set to work with James Reid for the first time in her upcoming television comeback. She recently received her Most Influential Celebrity trophy at the 11th EdukCircle Awards alongside Curtis, Richards, Marian Rivera, and Dingdong Dantes.
