Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson Says His Controversial Wax Figure At Paris Museum Needs ‘Improvements’ w/ His Skin Color: ‘I’m Going To Have My Team Reach Out’
A museum in Paris, France is working to rectify their work after displaying a lighter-toned Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson wax figure.
Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson recently took to his Instagram to respond to his new wax statue located at Grévin Museum and said the work needs some adjustments. In the post, he noted his team would be in contact with the museum to “update” his statue after many fans noticed the waxwork didn’t resemble the former wrestler-turned-actor.
Some fans even thought that the wax statue looked like The Rock’s former “Fast & Furious” co-star, Vin Diesel, 56. In addition to its light skin tone, the statue’s clothing didn’t appear to match the style of the 51-year-old — notably due to his blue collared shirt and blue kaki pants which some viewed as a “dad outfit.”
While making light of the situation, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson posted a video of comedian James Andre Jefferson Jr. joking about the wax model. He captioned the post,
“For the record, I’m going to have my team reach out to our friends at Grevin Museum, in Paris France so we can work at ‘updating’ my wax figure here with some important details and improvements- starting with my skin color. And next time I’m in Paris, I’ll stop in and have a drink with myself.”
A spokesperson for Grévin Museum reportedly said,
“Dwayne Johnson is right and we noticed it and will obviously remedy it as quickly as possible and send him new photos once completed.”
They added,
“We are waiting for him when he will come to Paris and the Grevin Wax Museum to celebrate that with a cup of champagne.”
