The Rock waxwork museum urgently addressing skin tone issue

The Grevin Museum in Paris is urgently working to fix a waxwork figure of Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson after the actor complained about it. The museum had proudly unveiled the life-sized statue earlier this month but faced heavy criticism, particularly regarding the model's skin tone. Fans accused the creator of "whitewashing" the star, who has dual heritage. After The Rock himself voiced his concerns, the museum pledged to "rework" the figure and update its skin color. Museum director Yves Delhommeau stated that his staff would work overnight to meet fans' expectations, attributing the issue with the skin tone to a "lighting problem." Delhommeau also mentioned that The Rock would visit the museum at a later date to review and suggest any further modifications. The museum had initially revealed the wax figure on October 16, with artist Stéphane Barret relying on photos and videos to create the sculpture. The Rock, whose father was a professional wrestler, was born in California to a black Nova Scotian father and a Samoan mother. BBC Newsbeat and The Rock's representatives have been contacted for comment, but no response has been received at the time of writing.
