Ryan waxes lyrical over his carbon copy

IT’S hard to imagine Gerry Ryan staying quiet for two hours. But that is exactly what the popular 2FM broadcaster had to do to earn his place in the National Wax Museum.

Ryan became the latest homegrown celebrity to feature in the Irish version of Madame Tussaud's collection when he unveiled a life-size model of himself at the museum, just off Parnell Square in Dublin yesterday.

The actual model is styled on a picture of Ryan from the front cover of a March 2001 edition of the RTÉ Guide in which he was dressed to look like Keanu Reeves, star of the film, The Matrix.
