The Canadian pop sensation celebrated his 30th birthday on March 1 with a unique tribute from Madame Tussauds Hollywood. The iconic wax museum has unveiled a life-like replica of Bieber, inspired by his appearance in the music video for his 2021 hit “Peaches.” The statue, currently on display in the museum’s Hollywood Boulevard section, captures Bieber as he appears in the video, wearing a white beanie, a fuzzy puffer jacket, neon pink pants, and sneakers.
Notably, the wax figure also has Bieber’s facial hair and neck tattoos meticulously recreated, further enhancing its authenticity.

It serves as a visual homage.
