The "Sherlock" star was recently seen getting friendly with the clay head that will eventually be attached to a Benedict Cumberbatch wax body for Madame Tussauds in London.

The life-like head looked eerily like the 38-year-old British gent—so much so that even Benedict couldn't get over how much the sculptors got his sex appeal down pat.

The GQ Actor of the Year has been closely involved in the creation process with Madame Tussauds artists, going in for multiple sittings so that hundreds of measurements and pictures could be taken to create total accuracy with the final product.
