Peekaboo act steals the show

It was supposed to be all about Korean film star Bae Yong-jun being immortalised in wax at Madame Tussauds yesterday - until a five-year-old fellow countryman upstaged him by deciding a peek under Marilyn Monroe's dress would be more interesting.

The unveiling even brought tears from some devoted Japanese fans, so when naughty Seo Joo-hyuk emerged from under the screen siren's famous white number, he balanced the star-worship with some much-needed humour.

Bae is the first Korean star to be included in a Madame Tussauds exhibition. The museum is due to reopen at the Peak Tower soon.
