An exact replica of David Bowie’s face cast for an 80s film appearance has been listed for sale on the internet.
The ‘original life mask – available for £495 from 911.com and pictured right - was made for The Hunger, a film the singer starred in with Catherine Deneuve in 1983.
It was used to test make-up and is described as being “amazingly detailed with every wrinkle & pore evident & would look amazing mounted.”
Surprisingly, judging by what I know about Bowie’s work at the time, the mask’s septum appears to be attached. His famously incongruent eyes, though, remain shut.
The mask was originally listed at £795.

I've just spent money on a photograph of Grace Jones I can't afford...
so this is off my wish list for the rest of 2007, although I'm surprised it's dropped in value by £300 already?
That film was fcking awful.
I love Bowie and Catherine Deneuve as well. I found it completely unwatchable. Maybe it went over my head.
i cant really afford it..
the free copy of the film on video is definitely swinging it though.
I was hoping for
an actual David Bowie mug, ideally Labyrinth era.
=(
Wasn't there
a Tony Scott film called 'The Hunger' or is it the same one?
