Dwayne Johnson Wax Figure Criticized for Inaccuracy, Resemblance to Vin Diesel and Lack of Melanin
Fans lambast Paris' Musée Grévin for its lifelike rendering of actor Dwayne Johnson, accusing the museum of whitewashing and asserting the waxwork resembles other celebrities rather than "The Rock" himself.
- Dwayne Johnson's new wax figure at Musée Grévin in Paris sparked backlash due to its inaccuracy, with fans asserting it poorly represents the actor's skin tone and likening it to other celebrities such as Vin Diesel and Mr. Clean.
- Johnson himself liked a post criticizing the wax figure's lack of melanin on Instagram, indicating he may acknowledge the criticism surrounding the museum's portrayal.
- Fans, besides pointing out the sculpture’s pale complexion, suggested it resembled other celebrities more than Johnson, including Vin Diesel, Mr. Clean, and Steve Wilkus.
- While many feared the wax debacle could potentially reignite tensions between Johnson and Vin Diesel, who once had a notorious on-set feud in the past, it's reported that both stars have reconciled their differences.
- Though Johnson has yet to formally respond to the wax figure controversy, he's known for taking such situations in stride, often responding humorously to previous online roasts.
- Apart from the wax figure controversy, Johnson also faced recent criticism after he and Oprah Winfrey solicited donations for a Maui wildfire relief fund; fans felt their calls for public donations were tone-deaf given their substantial personal wealth.
