American Hustle star Christian Bale has been immortalised in wax at Madame Tussauds London!

The impressive wax figure took a talented team of 20 sculptors four months to make at a cost of £150,000.

Fittingly for the awards show season, Bale’s waxwork is primed for the red carpet in a dapper black suit and tousled shoulder length hair.

The waxwork will rub shoulders with fellow Oscar nominee Leonardo DiCaprio in the party area of the London attraction.

“With the Oscars just days away what a great time to be unveiling one of the British nominees here at Madame Tussauds London," commented PR Manager, Nicole Fenner.

“Whether he wins or not on Sunday, Christian Bale is one of the UK's most successful international actors with an impressive haul of awards already under his belt, including an Oscar and Golden Globe.

“There's no doubt he deserves his place here and with his profile sky high after such a stand out role in American Hustle he's certainly at the top of this game. We know fans will love meeting him here."

Christian Bale is nominated for Best Actor in a Leading Role at Sunday night’s Oscars ceremony for his portrayal of Irving Rosenfeld in American Hustle.

He will go head-to-head with Bruce Dern (Nebraska), Leonardo DiCaprio (The Wolf of Wall Street), Chiwetel Ejiofor (12 Years A Slave) and Matthew McConaughey (Dallas Buyers Club) at the Dolby Theatre ceremony.
