Idris Elba’s Madame Tussauds Wax Figure Opens his Phone with Face ID, Fools His Mother

Ackchyually Face ID is an Apple feature. Idris is using a Samsung here, where facial unlock is not considered a secure method of authentication.

While I don’t have a wax figure I did a find a dude on youtube who looks identical to me. I sent my mom his videos and said I started a channel and next thing I know everyone in my family is texting me about how great I am on the guitar and how good I sing.

They finally got one right. Its been a while 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Now Mdama Tussauds wax figure makers have a way to tell if the figure is good or not: if it can’t unlock the original person’s phone, then they’re way off.

I like that the first person he thought of was his mom. They must have a close relationship.

Guy is in his fifties but still relish in pranking his mom, giggles and all included, like he is fifteen.

What we should aim at.

Completely unrelated, sorry, but he’s literally the first celebrity whom I’ve seen using something other than iPhone.

I used to work at Madame Tussaud’s and the sculptors take that shit so seriously. They go to the back for regular maintenance all the time (because even though it’s very against the rules to touch the faces, people always do). Very fun walking in in the morning and seeing Chris Hemsworth’s disembodied head on a table.

Sir Idras Elba

> I’m a big dude ya know

Haha it’s so funny how we can’t tell how much space we actually take up. I get told I’m a big dude too. Which I lift and am active and don’t feel like I’m one of the bigger dudes at the gym but get told I am all the time. Now I want to get famous enough to have one of these figures so I can see for myself.
