You won’t meet him on the streets of Budapest … But … No need to worry you can be sure he will showup @ Madame Tussand’s Wax Museum!

David Beckham name … the worlds most famous athlets, fashion icons and media stars is probably hardly by anyone who has not heard of him or seen him playing at one of his footy match.

Beckham’s wax figure was borrowed from the Prague Madame Tussaud’s exhibition. He will be staying in Budapest for cca. 2 months so was told during the welcoming presentation at the Hungarian Madame Tussaud’s Museum – Palazzo Dorottya Street – Budapest. Also it was said that from time-to-time beside having 51 permanent figures, exclusive guests just as recently, the wax figure of the world fastest sprinter Usain Bolt, spent a few months here with the other celebrities .

Beckham’s skin is covered with more than 60 tattoos, which have special meanings. His first tattoo was Brooklyn – his son’s name, but his body features his favorit number 7, which was his jersey number, Chinese, Hebrew and Hindi characters, and the number 99, which refers to his marriage.
During the production of the figure of David Beckham, personally met the staff of Madame Tussauds, who had the opportunity to measure the world star’s body from head-to-toe. Thousands of biological data were recorded, from bone size to body weight to the athlete’s facial features. Beckham’s figure just like the other wax figures around the world were completed in a studio near London along with the involvement of visual artists, digital specialists and other experts.
The 115-time England International midfielder is now among the Lads in the Madame Tussauds Museum with Lionel Messi, Ronado, and keeping that in mind the Hungarian sporty legend – Ferenc Puskás the footy player (widely regarded as one of the greatest players of all time and the sport’s first international superstar.) He was a forward and an attacking midfielder, he scored 84 goals in 85 international matches for Hungary and played four international matches for Spain. He became an Olympic champion in 1952 and led his nation to the final of the 1954 World Cup.

Beckham “calling” those folks who would like to meet the style icon athlete in a suit and tie. Beckham’s elegance outfit certainly matches his red carpet entrance … fans may stand beside him … also take a snap and enjoy their stay at the awesome wax figure around its special interiors.

Last but not least … mind you … you can inhale David Backham’s cologne by getting close enough to him.

Of course, you can meet several famous Hungarian and International celebrities in Budapest at the Hungarian Madame Tussauds Wax Museum.

Félix Viscarret’s film from the film crop of the Iberian Peninsula will be out at the cinemas from October, 12. 2023. – 107 minutes

The Spanish-Belgian co-production is an adaptation of the book by Juan José Milás, the process of which the director himself was responsible for, since he worked as a co-writer on the screenplay.

Summary: Damián (Paco León) loses his job after 20 years. Upon hearing the news of his dismissal, he angrily leaves his boss and decides to withdraw from the world at the first possible hiding place that comes his way. Spotting a wardrobe lying on a van, he finds what he considers to be the ideal opportunity for his goal, but the car starts to travel. The wardrobe arrives at the home of Lucía (Leonor Watling) and Fede (Álex Brendemühl), with Damián inside, who is lying down waiting for the furniture to be placed. Our hero then becomes a part of the life of the married couple and their teenage daughter, María (María Romanillos), who is roughly the same age as him, because that very night he formulates the idea that he will stay with them as a mysterious phenomenon moving in the shadows. But with what intention he does all this, it will only become clear with time: will he become a guardian angel or a scary, demonic figure while maintaining the mystery?

This thriller-drama mix mixes the basic situation of The Living with Charlie Kauffman’s surrealism.

Eyes open to the World’s Best Press Photos at the National Museum Budapest. From September, 22. 2023  features almost 94 recordings from around the world. The best and most important photojournalistic and documentary photos of the past year can be viewed until November, 5. 2023.

Every year since 1955, the World Press Photo competition and the related exhibition organized in many countries summarize the events of the last year with the help of authentic, emotional and thought-provoking photos from all over the world. The winners were chosen by an independent jury that reviewed more than 60,448 photographs entered by 3,752 photographers.

László L. Simon – general director National Museum also mentioned that several accompanying events will join the exhibition. National Geographic Hungary turned 20 this year. On the occasion of the anniversary, World Press Photo presents the most exciting and beautiful Hungarian materials from the magazine’s two decades at the accompanying exhibition at the National Museum. In addition, portal’s selection of photos showing events in Hungary from the past year can be viewed on the fence outsode at the museum. In the Museum’s Garden, the works of Czech, Polish, Slovak and Hungarian photographers on climate change can be seen.

The images of the World Press Photo 2022 exhibition were selected by the international jury from 64,823 photos taken by 4,066 photojournalists from 130 countries: the traveling exhibition is expected to be viewed by more than 4 million people in 120 locations worldwide.

Désirée Bonis – Ambassador of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in Budapest, spoke about this year’s World Press Photo prize-winning photo. The first-prize photo is a strong reminder that there is still a war going on not far from Budapest, while the exhibition material clearly shows that in a period of austerity, in addition to economic difficulties the world also has to deal with the climate crisis. Furthermore, in his speech, he emphasized the importance of the free press, especially the currently protracted epidemic situation.

The photo of the year was Jevhen Maloletka‘s Air attack on the maternity ward of the Mariupol hospital.

Marika Cukrowsky – curator of this year’s exhibition, said: the biggest change in the almost seven-decade history of World Press Photo is that the pre-judging of the competition has been made regional, so a more comprehensive evaluation of local events can be expected. Before the global jury, entries sent from Africa, Asia, Europe, North and Central America, South America, Southeast Asia and Oceania are evaluated separately.

The World Press Photo exhibition can be visited until November, 5.2023.
