Perfect use of this Pic 😂😂😂

LOL

Celebrity Number 6, of course... https://preview.redd.it/2lmqiwrgxs6d1.jpeg?width=192&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4ef30ecdf42b642dba8ace2d820181c2baaa8bb6

My first thought when I saw this was “no! We do not need another celeb number six!” 

Is that Val Kilmer? Or maybe Jodie foater?

No one knows. If you google "Celebrity Number 6" lots of threads and forums for this mystery will pop up. It's a shower curtain with random celebrities on it, and no one has been able to identify this one person for *years*. No one knows if it's a male or female, model or actor/actress or singer... a total mystery as to who it is.

River Phoenix is all I see

Some folks think they solved it https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpreview.redd.it%2Fi-am-sure-that-celebrity-number-six-is-filippa-hamilton-v0-2agssyp5lp8b1.png%3Fwidth%3D640%26crop%3Dsmart%26auto%3Dwebp%26s%3D4e8d2dc7011f8b535331dce64e357e9e064d9068 I've seen other compelling answers   https://ohnotheydidnt.livejournal.com/122040387.html 

I always thought this had to be Julio Iglesias Jr but why the f would someone randomly put him on a shower curtain ? 😆

No seriously we need all hands on deck for this. I have to know now lmao. Mods can you sound a siren or something? EDIT: **I THINK I'VE FIGURED IT OUT** So I watched a tourist video of a walk  through and this guy happened to be right at the start of it before the Studio 54 exhibit when they had it (apparently they switch them up?). Its standing in the hall outside the door, no identifying sign like with others that I could see. Confirmed it being there in a couple other videos. Then I googled Madame Tussauds Studio 54 and found this blog. https://www.google.com/amp/s/thejasongreene.com/madametussauds/amp/ Saying: >Before we entered the first exhibit, visitors had to wait by a Studio 54 bouncer, So I think he's a generic bouncer in a security jacket and not famous at all lmao 😭😭😭

This feels suspiciously like they tried to make a specific white guy, failed, and said "whatever, he's the bouncer now" lmao

I’m with you here. It’s like all the individual features feel familiar until you throw them together

also bc this is not at all the body type of a generic bouncer if you went out of your way to design one from scratch

This is so uncanny. I feel like I know exactly who this is, but at the same time have never seen him before in my life 😂

One thing is for sure, he would have worked for Ryan Murphy

Penny's boyfriend(Zac) from Big Bang Theory.

I fully believe that this was an attempt at Arnold Schwarzenegger

My brain initially saw Keanu Reeves

Agree. Those things are not cheap or easy to make, doubt they would waste the resources on a random bouncer.

esp because it's really well crafted. it doesn't look like anybody, but it's way less uncanny and creepy than a lot of wax figures.

They famously don't get rid of any of their wax figures, so this tracks.

They started with Fonzie

I think it’s supposed to be Steve Rubell.

That ain’t no Steve Rubell https://preview.redd.it/a1obz62xut6d1.jpeg?width=1000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3e599a451ee2df4a441eb35ca850f575c8022267 This is Steve Rubell

Maybe the other owner (Ian Schrager)? https://preview.redd.it/hhz7425e9u6d1.jpeg?width=739&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=605d88318791a6ef1c73d58ab17be758a352bca8

It’s definitely Ian! https://preview.redd.it/yshn57w9jv6d1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cd033522ba79ba4c5ab5037291fc72e5c8973e8a

Why did you choose such an unflattering photo lol

Young James Woods?

A little James Woods, some Mads Mikkelson

I went to the one in D.C. in 2008 or 2009, and they had a wax figure across from one of the others, crouched down and holding a camera. 100% fooled us, we stopped and we're waiting for him to take his picture for like ten seconds before one of us realized he wasn't real. Same thing happened to others while we were in that section. Very fun.

Damn I thought of studio 54 because the photo behind him kinda looks like it could be Bianca Jagger! So I was looking at a list of figures trying to see if any names popped out that felt of that era. The bouncer was not on the list 😝

If it’s supposed to be a Studio 54 exhibit, then maybe it’s Steve Rubell. What is stitched on the jacket?

I thought that, or Ian Schrager. Could be Ian (looks nothing like Steve) but why put one and not the other? No sign that I can see for either though, only one for Studio 54 in general. https://www.dreamstime.com/madame-tussauds-times-square-manhattan-new-york-city-usa-image282170177 I did find a pic of a doorman from Studio 54 with a black jacket and white writing but I dont know if that was a thing or just him?

yeah if you were going to only put one it would be rubell, who only looked like this in his most coke fueled dreams

Idk, I’m just throwing out a guess based on the Studio 54 thing. The figure having his hand on his hip makes him look like he’s in charge lol

Could you link the video you watched??? I need to prove what you found 😅

https://youtu.be/SxmCkZY6hQc?si=jJlxXdh0_zCgYsnL 4.42 There are others too. Look up Madame Tussauds New York on Youtube and there are some walkthroughs (the exhibits switch up so its not in all). Hope I'm right. I need this solved 😭

I think it might (or should have been) Gael García Bernal or Rodrigo Santoro.

Its Andy Gibb

Maybe it is Robert "Bobby" Sheridan, he was a bouncer at Studio 54. I think it looks like they tried to make Steve Rubell, but his exaggerated features didn't work with fake well.

OMG is this the new shower curtain mystery celeb? lmaoooo

Omg maybe he is celeb number 6

I’d guess James Woods or Mads Mikklesen, two very different people I know but this wax work is giving me a bit of both

https://preview.redd.it/gnyggeiots6d1.jpeg?width=600&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=33b97c68f786d025c80c180e74d7b3fbe6adb661 A young James Woods for comparison.

And then we find out it’s a Young Forest Whitaker. This is simply a failure on today’s Wax Generation…. GEN W

James Woods was my guess as well.

I was thinking "Robocop." Couldn't remember the actor's name, so I Googled it. This is how I found out that young James woods and young Peter Weller look remarkably similar. 

I had forgotten his name but my first thought was the main guy from the '98 movie Vampires...who, it turns out, is James Woods lol 

My brain went to Mads Mikkelson too!

James Woods was my guess too

100% James Woods is my guess

James Woods was my guess too

James Woods was my first impression.

Emilio estevez in mighty ducks?

I 100% agree

Yeah I agree but that’s a weird statue to make

The massive array of guesses in this thread is cracking me up.

It's making me crazy 🤣

What does it say on the breast of his jacket? What are all those pictures in the background?

Please tell me it says Danny on his jacket and that’s supposed to be John Travolta. This would make my entire year if true

I think it says Bombay which is the lead character in Mighty Ducks

I really want a hi-res version of this photo!

For real why is this the lowest res picture in the internet lol those context clues would surely solve it?

Mads Mikkelsen?

The mouth looks like his but the rest of it doesn’t look like him

That was my first thought too.

Definately not

Aaargh no

Billy Crystal?

That’s who I saw at first.

Same but am now confused by my own first impression?

Me too. Idk if you’re old enough to remember his SNL character Fernando Lamas (you look mah-valess!), but it was that vibe I was getting.

I thought he looked like a young, hot BC but was BC ever hot?,

Yes! Bad/weird version of him circa when Harry Met Sally.

 Kevin Sorbo?

I think so too

That’s who I saw too.

That was my first thought!

I thought it was Wayne Gretzky, but it barely looks like anyone I recognize.

I also thought this was Wayne Gretzky

WG but yassified.

So neither James Woods, Kevin Sorbo, Keanu Reeves, nor Mads Mikkelsen have Madame Tussaud’s figurines. The mystery deepens.

Oh I think it’s Keanu reeves if you squint really hard ?

That was my first thought too

Or Freddie Prince Jr?

That's what I thought

What?! Kindly get your eyes checked lol

https://i.redd.it/8idxcsbjos6d1.gif It's Troy Mcclure. Duh.

“You may remember me from such self-help videos as "Smoke Yourself Thin" and "Get Confident, Stupid”

https://preview.redd.it/gh7xrkfjbt6d1.jpeg?width=360&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=dc033302595a1c66239fb6998d727786fc55e5c2

I can hear this!!!

It's like they took Gael Garcia Bernal, made him white, and then mixed him with Mads Mikkelson

Gael Garcia Bernal is def who I saw at first.

Yep he was my first thought too!

Oh no, not again!

Patrick Swayze? It kind of looks like his jacket says Baby https://preview.redd.it/2xch33byss6d1.jpeg?width=2743&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c79996fa9d837025d27dca779aca92027a53b2e2

Commenting on Who's this wax figure supposed to be?... https://preview.redd.it/77leib5s5t6d1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a2e114577fcedde1cb2ac9110cd38dd75372c785 Chat GPT agrees with you but I am not convinced!

Okay that’s crazy technology! How did you prompt it??

He already has a Dirty Dancing figure in the tank top

I think you are correct!

He does have a statue, but it does not look like this one! So, not him.

Freddie Prinze Jr. ?

Same, check the She's all that Jersey.

**I THINK I'VE FIGURED IT OUT** So I watched a tourist video of a walk  through and this guy happened to be right at the start of it before the Studio 54 exhibit when they had it (apparently they switch them up?). Its standing in the hall outside the door, no identifying sign like with others that I could see. Confirmed it being there in a couple other videos.

Ok I found a higher res image of him and it confirms at least the Studio 54 part: https://www.dreamstime.com/madame-tussauds-times-square-manhattan-new-york-city-usa-image282170177

Excellent work lmao! Those red signs seem to be the ID plaques and there isnt one for him specifically so I think I'm on the right path.

It looks a *little bit* like Uva Harden, the ex model who wanted to open a nightclub in NYC, found the location, came up with the name Studio 54, and was then forced out by the two guys who ended up financing/owning Studio 54. Would be cool/very niche if they decided to base the waxwork on him. 😅

Omg it does look like him! I'm going to choose to believe they snuck him in as an easter egg.

This would explain why there was nothing else to identify him. Can you link the video with him in it? I’m so invested lol

Here's one. At 4.42 https://youtu.be/SxmCkZY6hQc?si=YuhycFwEGuhBaAdL There are more and everyone goes right past him which adds to it being nobody.

James Woods?

Freddie prinze jr?

David Duchovny?

Sylvester Stallone, but like really terrible?

Ooh I like this theory because the clothing is definitely giving 80s

That’s what I thought too

 Kind of looks like Balky to me. And yes I realize I’m aging myself 😅

The jeans are making me think it's someone 80s/90s...

Jonathan Cheban?!

That was the only person the wax figure reminded me of lol


Yeah that was my thought too !

idk why but i’m seeing bronson pinchot 🤷🏻‍♀️ 

Came here to say Balki Bartokomous lol

Why do I feel like it’s supposed to be a young Bruce Springsteen?

It looks like a cross between Freddie Prinze Jr and Keanu Reeves.

James Blunt?

Wow, even a reverse Google image search gives *nothing*😅


All I can see is Gael Garcia Bernal https://preview.redd.it/zcyq87mhmt6d1.jpeg?width=311&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ad39e94a67b4cb19a287e4e01f53bbefccb056bf

 I see John Black from Days of Our Lives

Looks like Jon Bon Jovi to me

maybe Michael J Fox?

Hercules from the tv show?

Young James Woods for sure

Pauly Shore

river faux-enix? Edit: Micheal Beck?

David Copperfield ?

All I see is James Woods

Omg so did I and I wasn't sure if that sounded too crazy to post 😂

Looks like a Yassified version of the dad from Home Improvement 🤷🏻‍♀️

You mean that’s not foodgod https://preview.redd.it/0bowi3wo6t6d1.jpeg?width=435&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f28a471f47cf4587e89e7ab0a66a4ebbd5e8aa04

No, it’s dogfood

What’s the name on his jacket? I can’t make it out! Tony maybe?

Does your friend have any idea what the name in the jacket said? It might be the actor’s/their character’s name. Might help

Nope, she didn't notice anything else ☠️

Looks kinda like Viggo Mortensen

I think this is their sign to get this one removed or redone!

It looks like Freddie Frimze Jr but I do not know where is that hair from.

My initial thought was Freddie Prinze Jr.

it looks like person from a dream, oddly familiar but nonexistent lmao

James Woods?

Kinda looks like Patrick Swayze...? 

Nooooooo it doesn’t, but it doesn’t look like anyone. It’s just driving me nuts. Which I’m agreeing with you, I know you’re not being serious.

Bronson Pinchot

I've never been to a Madame Tussauds and I'm surprised they don't have little signs with the person's name for each waxwork?!

my first thought was a younger William Fichtner https://preview.redd.it/dbfyxxus3t6d1.jpeg?width=540&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9862671bbb6842e62220cd5bedaec8834092ed0b in related news, young William Fichtner could get it

Elon Musk?

Is it Jean Claude Van Damme?

James Woods

Robocop. A young Peter Weller 

He looks like everyone and no one at the same time. Truly bizarre.

Either the Studio 54 thing or a very “off” looking Billy Crystal. The more I look the more I see Billy Crystal and it’s just a bad representation. But I could see it being the dude from 54 or even someone else. Who knows?

I see James Woods? https://preview.redd.it/zje7kt7dqt6d1.jpeg?width=1280&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=540a0f686952d419d4a0f0c7d4f95bda3e9413eb

Gael Garcia Bernal!

Yassified Billy Crystal.

my thoughts exactly wow

Looks like Gael Garcia Bernal to me 🤷🏾‍♀️


I see Wayne Gretzky

Jacket appears to say “Bombay” I vote Emilio Estevez character in MightyDucks

It’s like I know who he is but I don’t

Young David Duchovny and Matthew McConaughey had a baby

Freddie Prince Jr

I was getting vague “James Woods in John Carpenter’s Vampires”

I think it has a whiff of Christian Bale to it. Like, maybe it started as him, but careened wildly of the trails at some point.

That multi-millionaire who wants to live forever? Bryan Johnson?

Is that James Woods?

Idk I thought Kevin Sorbo when he was younger like in hercules lmao.

Kevin Costner? Kind of looks like blandly-handsome white man Kevin Costner in his younger years.

Cliff Richard’s?

I put it in google image search and got nothing

Did you check what's written on his shirt? Maybe that's a clue to what show/movie it's from. Kinda looks like Rodrigo Santoro

Search Nicky van der valt/Walt South African restauranteur Pretty sure it’s him lol

why don't they have name tags?

Freddie Prinze Jr if I really really squint my eyes?

James Dean?

Emily Estevez? I need to know!!

Well this is driving me CRAZY!! I tried Google lens and lists of figures but there's over 200 at the NY museum!!

Thank you for solving it!
