The Barcelona superstar is to be inducted into the Madame Tussauds museum in Orlando to mark his 24th birthday on Friday
Caught in the eye of several legal storms, Neymar could be forgiven for having other things on his mind than his impending birthday.
Madame Tussauds in Orlando will hope to raise his spirits, however, after they announced the Barcelona superstar will receive his own wax figure.
Neymar, who turns 24 on Friday, was heavily involved with the creation of his wax twin and took time out from tormenting La Liga defenders to meet with Madame Tussauds artists to have measurements taken in Barcelona.
He chose the figure's pose to reflect his goal celebration from the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, which he called "the most important moment of my career."
"It is truly an honour to have such an important moment of my life captured in wax by the amazing team at Madame Tussauds," Neymar added.
"I cannot wait for my fans all over the world to meet my wax twin in Orlando!"
