Celebrities Could Not Tell Barker Apart From His Wax Figure 

In October, Madame Tussauds unveiled Barker's wax figure, which made followers agree that it was one of the most lifelike creations to date. As showcased in a series of pictures on his social media, the figure was adorned in a leather jacket, pants, a studded belt, and boots. 

The realistic figure perfectly captured the father of two's dark eyebrows, tattoos, and bright blue eyes, with the museum adding some flair with accessories like a Cuban chain necklace, a replica of his wedding ring, and silver nose rings.

The co-founder of +44 proudly posed alongside the figure wearing a red round-neck T-shirt with the emphatic inscription "Don't F— With Me" in all caps, a black beanie, and a silver necklace. 

In one snapshot, the artist had one arm around the effigy's shoulders, and in a playful moment, he backed the camera, seemingly planting a kiss on its lips. Additional photos captured Barker pouting, covering his face, flipping off the camera, and making a yelling expression. 

The final slide, a video, highlighted the camera zooming out to showcase Barker making a humorous face before focusing on the wax's impeccable facial features. In the caption, he invited fans, writing, "Come say hi to my clone."

The lifelike resemblance between him and the figure attracted heavy attention, with his sister-in-law, Khloe Kardashian, expressing her amazement in the comments, "OK this is scary real!!!!! Wow!!!!" She added, "I swear it took me a minute to figure out who was who."

"Sk8er Boi" singer Avril Lavigne also stepped into the comments and emphasized, "Holy s—. I couldn't tell which one was you, haha." 

Barker's fans also chimed in with their opinions, with one quipping, "Looks like the guy in the red shirt bothering you" and another stating, "I actually didn't know which was real at 1st that's crazy."
