(AFP, Los Angeles, 23rd) The Grevin Wax Museum in France said today that it is urgently repairing the wax figure of American actor Dwayne Johnson. The wax figure has been ridiculed by the outside world, and Johnson also complained that his wax figure is too pale.
Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, who is of Samoan and African descent, took to social media this weekend on Instagram to laugh at his botched wax figure at the Grevin Museum, which looks set to… Mori’s skin color is tinted white and only slightly resembles his facial features.
Johnson, whose stage name is “The Rock,” wrote on IG: “For the record, I will have the team contact our friends at the Grevin Wax Museum in Paris, France, so that we can ‘transform’ my wax figure and correct and improve some important details – from My wax complexion begins.”
The Grevin wax museum said today that staff are “reworking” the wax figure and will install an updated version tomorrow morning.
Yves Delhommeau, director of the wax museum, said in a statement: “My colleagues worked all night to better meet the expectations of fans.”
Delhomo also said, “We will also reconfigure the lighting, because lighting issues can affect the brightness of the skin,” and Johnson “will come see us later to see if there are any other changes that need to be made.”
The Grevin Wax Museum, which attracts nearly 800,000 visitors every year, released photos of Johnson’s new wax figure on social media last week, but it triggered strong protests from Dwayne Johnson’s fans. Some people were confused and some were angry. .
One netizen commented that the wax figure looked like an “Eastern European plumber.” Another post also read: “Why put white wax on him?”
Comedian James Andre Jefferson Jr. posted a short clip mocking a wax figure, saying he was a little offended that The Rock was being made to look like former England soccer star David Beckham or “royalty.” .
The Grevin wax museum faced similar ridicule when it unveiled an unflattering wax figure of French President Emmanuel Macron in 2018.
It takes six months to make a Grevin wax figure and costs regarding $60,000 to $70,000.
