Dwayne Johnson wax figure fixed after backlash over being ‘whiter than it should have been’: ‘Turned you into Mr. Clean’

The Musee Grevin in France has unveiled its corrections of Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson’s wax figure statue after social media and the star attacked its “whitewashing” depiction.

The Rock, whose mother is Samoan and father is a Black Nova Scotian, responded on Instagram about his slightly fair-skinned wax figure.

“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 color,” Johnson wrote on Instagram.

“They turned you into Mr. Clean,” fans decried in response.

The museum says it now regrets using photos for his wax figure instead of meeting him in person to capture the “nuances of skin tones.”

“We just made an honest mistake based on the photos we looked at. After we saw all these reactions on different blogs and social networks, we changed it immediately,” Veronique Berecz, the Musee Grevin’s spokesperson said.

The museum’s director said it quickly made changes to the wax figure this week.

“We worked all night to fix Dwayne Johnson’s complexion. It’s complicated because it’s important to not alter the work that was done on the tattoos. So we used small amounts of oil spray paint on the wax figure,” Yves Delhommeau, the museum’s general director, said.

The Rock said that the next time he’s in Paris, he will “stop in and have a drink with myself.”
