The wax statue of Dwayne Johnson, one of Hollywood's favorite actors, in a museum in Paris became an agenda. The museum, which was at the center of the reactions, corrected the wax statue, saying they made a mistake.
The Grevin Museum in Paris, which exhibits wax sculptures of many famous figures, is at the center of reactions. The museum's new favorite Dwayne Johnson statue became an agenda on social media.
The statue of the famous actor known for the Fast and Furious series, Black Adam, and San Andreas films was recently unveiled at the Grevin Museum in Paris. The statue of the actor, known as "The Rock" and well-known in the world of professional wrestling, was criticized for not accurately reflecting the actor's skin color. In fact, the statue of the actor was more similar to Vin Diesel, Johnson's co-star from the Fast and Furious series.
Upon the reactions, the famous actor said that he would reach out to the authorities at the museum and take action to "update" the statue.
The Grevin Museum, at the center of the reactions, renewed the actor's wax statue.
"We accept the criticism that his skin tone is lighter than it should be," emphasized Veronique Berecz, a museum official.
Stating that they made the sculpture based on the actor's photographs.
"Photographs can be misleading. Depending on the reflection of the light, the skin color may look very different," the museum said.
When the actor's wax statue was exhibited for the first time, comments such as "Why is his skin white and when will you fix it?" and "It looks like it was made with a social media filter" took place on social media.
