Post Malone mistook a wax figure of himself for a real person and his reaction was priceless.
The famous singer was completely fooled by his new Madame Tussauds wax figure when it was recently displayed at the Governor’s Ball in New York. Video of the moment, captured by Consequence of Sound, showed a look of utter dismay on Post Malone’s face after several seconds of struggling to figure out what was going on.
The star had just finished a set and was heading backstage when he passed the wax figure, mistaking it for a human being. At first he walked past her, then he practically spoke to the wax figure when he seemed disoriented. “I’m so lost right now,” he said, and when he turned around he realized that he was face to face with himself. “Are you kidding?”

Post Malone seemed so surprised and caught off guard that he took a few steps away from the wax figure, apparently processing the strange encounter. The wax figure was an eerily accurate representation of the star, and when the camera turned to look at the figure and then at the real-life singer, it was evident that the details were accurate.
“I literally thought it was a person!” Post Malone exclaimed, the shocked expression still on his face.
He looked at the wax figure closer, admiring the similarities.

“Is this hair real?” she asked.
“Whose hair is it?”
Post Malone inspected the tattoos and admired how closely the art looked like the actual ink on his body.
He joked and went on to say, “Mine? Were you guys in my shower?
The famous singer said he was impressed, then added some humor by saying, “Thanks for the help down there…I appreciate it,” while pointing to the wax figure’s crotch.

“Can this do my shows for me? I would love to catch up on sleep!” Malone said.
