Us teen heartthrob Taylor Lautner joins A-list Party area

26th January 2012 – US teen heartthrob, Taylor Lautner, today became the first celebrity of the year to join Madame Tussauds London’s A-list Party area. A brand new wax figure of the Twilight sensation was revealed standing shoulder to shoulder with co-star, British actor, Robert Pattinson – BUT the pair will only remain together until fans have selected which one should take centre stage in their very own exclusive area.

The dashing figure mirrors Lautner’s relaxed style with a jean and leather jacket combo paired with his trademark sultry expression. The figure took four months to create at a cost of £150,000. “Taylor was one of the most requested personalities in 2011 and we are delighted to welcome him to Madame Tussauds London today” commented Liz Edwards,

PR Manager at the attraction. “We wanted to do something fun to celebrate Taylor’s arrival and what better way than to try and answer the ultimate question – Taylor vs R-Pattz, who is the supreme ‘King of Hearts’? Both Taylor and Robert are hugely successful young A-list actors with loyal and very vocal fans so it will be really exciting to see the results!”

Guests will be invited to cast their vote at the attraction from today until 3rd February 2012 by visiting the dashing duo and using the simple colour coded system. Whoever is elected will be crowned the ‘King of Hearts’ and will take up sole residence to greet his fans in VIP style for the rest of the year. To mark the start of the voting, a group of Lautner and R-Pattz’s most ardent fans were invited to “meet” the pair today and to cast the first votes!
