It’s not just Hollywood’s golden couple Brangelina who’s splitting up. Even their respective wax figures have also parted ways.
After news of actress Angelina Jolie filing for divorce from Brad Pitt, London’s Madame Tussauds reacted quickly and announced on Wednesday that their respective wax figures have been separated at a “respectful distance from each other”.
A photo posted on Twitter by Madame Tussaud’s’ official account shows the Jolie and Pitt figures standing apart, with British actor Robert Pattinson standing awkwardly in between the two.
“Following the news that has shocked celebrity watchers worldwide, we can confirm we have separated Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s figures,” read the tweet.
Madame Tussauds told Entertainment Online that attractions around the world are taking steps to part the figures of the two celebrities.
And that includes the Jolie and Pitt wax figures that can also be found here at Madame Tussauds Singapore in Sentosa.
The attraction has confirmed with AsiaOne that the duo has been parted “quite a distance away” from each other.
Jolie and Pitt wax figures are on display at 15 of its 20 locations around the world. They were even featured in New York City along with a replica of their daughter Shiloh as a baby.
According to Yahoo, each figurine costs an estimated US$300,000 (S$408,372) to make.
News of the couple’s pending separation – who have been together for 12 years and married for two – has rocked the celebrity and Internet world.
While Madame Tussauds attractions around the world have been quick to separate the wax figures, the Internet was also quick on churning out never-ending memes and gifs of Pitt’s ex-wife Jennifer Aniston having the last laugh.
