The Grévin museum unveiled Tuesday evening the wax statue of Léna Mahfouf, better known under the nickname “Léna Situations” to her 11 million subscribers on its networks, which will be exhibited to the public from this Wednesday. “I never imagined that by making YouTube videos in my room, I would have ended up here”launched the content creator close to her statuse. “It’s a job where we are told so often that it is ephemeral that the first thing they said to me when I arrived at Grévin was 'welcome, you are now immortal!'“ she declared, adding that “It was pretty powerful for a small content creator.”
She becomes the second personality, and the first woman, from the Internet to join the collection of the Parisian museum, two years after Lucas Hauchard, alias Squeezie, second Youtuber in France.
