Dwayne Johnson, who is of Samoan and Black origin, took to Instagram this weekend to joke about the Grevin Museum’s botched wax figure, which appeared to depict him with white skin, and bears only a vague likeness to his features. — AFP picLOS ANGELES, Oct 24 — A French museum said Monday it is working urgently to fix a much-derided waxwork of Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson after the US actor complained about its pale skin tone.
“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 colour,” wrote Johnson, best known by his stage name The Rock. “Crews will work through the night to ensure the likeness is more in keeping with the expectations of his fans.
The figure of Johnson was unveiled on social media last week by the Grevin Museum, which draws nearly 800,000 visitors a year.
