Leah Remini is 'screaming' over Beyoncé wax figure: 'Will take any and all comparisons'

Leah Remini just received one of the sincerest forms of flattery after fans pointed out that a new Beyoncé wax figure has some resemblance to the "The King of Queens" actress.
The new Beyoncé replica debuted at Madame Tussauds Blackpool in Blackpool, England, Thursday, but fans noted the statue seemed a little off, drawing comparisons to Remini, 53.
"I am screaming!" Remini wrote on X, formerly Twitter Thursday, in response to the comparisons. "And loving all the tweets!"
She added: "This perimenopausal woman will take any and all comparisons to the beautiful Beyoncé!"
Fans responded with praise for the actress, with one user adding: "This was Beyonce’s 'Leah Remini' era."
Fans in the comments of Madame Tussauds Blackpool Instagram post of the figure were less impressed, with one user writing: "Who is this ???? Bc it’s NOT a reflection of Beyoncé .. yall wrong for this!"
Others responded with a meme from Beyoncé's Rennaisance Tour, the "Diva" meme challenge, which emerged after a clip surfaced online of Beyoncé, 42, performing her 2008 hit "Diva" and pointing at a member of the audience while singing, "She ain’t no diva."
The BeyHive may call on Madame Tussauds London to come fix the figure. The London location debuted a Beychella-themed Beyoncé wax figure in 2019 to rave reviews.
Several celebrity wax figures have become infamous for their lack of resemblance to the stars they're modeled after, including recent figures of Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and Lil Wayne.
Johnson commented in October that his wax figure at the Grévin Museum in Paris needed "improvements," after it got roasted on social media for not matching the wrestler-turned-actor's skin tone.

"For the record, I’m going to have my team reach out to our friends at Grevin Museum, in Paris Franceso we can work at 'updating' my wax figure here with some important details and improvements - starting with my skin color," Johnson said on Instagram at the time. "And next time I’m in Paris, I’ll stop in and have a drink with myself."
Lil Wayne seemingly responded to a wax figure modeled after him at the Hollywood Wax Museum in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, which similarly went viral for its lack of resemblance.
"Sorry wax museum but dat (expletive) ain’t me!" he wrote on X in October. "You tried tho and I appreciate the effort."
