The wax figure was widely criticized for its paler complexion than Johnson's actual skin color, prompting the Grévin Museum in Paris to announce plans to alter the statue's skin tone following the actor's intervention.

Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson reached out to the Grévin Museum in Paris regarding updates to his wax figure, particularly its skin tone which is paler than Johnson's actual skin color.
The unveiling of the wax figure was met with criticism and jests online, leading to Johnson's intervention.
The Rock's reaction followed a video by comedian James Andre Jefferson Jr. who poked fun at the wax figure's resemblance.
