A sculptor creating a new statue of two-time Wimbledon champion Andy Murray says the artwork is being produced with the help of a stand-in rather than using Murray directly. In reporting about the project, the sculptor describes using a “stunt double” (a 23-year-old model) to capture Murray’s pose and physical features for the statue. The sculptor frames the approach as part of the process of recreating a “gnarly” version of the former champion, suggesting the model is used to assist with timing, practicality, and accuracy while the statue is being developed. Details reported across the sources focus on the substitution of a younger stand-in model in place of Murray for sculpting references. Both outlets agree on the key point that the sculptor has publicly disclosed the use of the stand-in during the statue’s creation and that the statue is intended to represent Murray in a specific, recognizable tennis-era depiction associated with his public persona.
