Hollywood actor Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson has joined the chorus of mockery after a Paris museum unveiled a botched waxwork of him, suggesting its skin colour — among other things — needs ‘updating’. Johnson, who is of Samoan and Black origin, took to Instagram to joke about the Grevin museum’s widely derided wax figure, which depicts him with pale white skin and bears little likeness to his features. ‘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. ‘And next time I’m in Paris, I’ll stop in and have a drink with myself.’ The figure of Johnson was unveiled on social media last week by the Grevin museum, which draws nearly 800,000 visitors a year. But a photo intended to promote the new statue drew an outcry from Johnson’s fans, ranging from bemusement to anger. One commenter said the figure looked like an ‘Eastern European plumber’. ‘Why would you white wax (wash) him?’ wrote another. Comedian James Andre Jefferson Jr. released an online video mocking the statue, prompting Johnson to respond.
