Dwayne The Rock Johnson has officially smelled what Muse Grvin was cooking.

While the Paris museum turned Johnson into a lifelike statue last week, their wax figure curiously resembled a white man and cast his natural pigment aside. Born to a Black dad and a Samoan mom, Johnson addressed the issue Monday after viral social media backlash .

For the record, Im going to have my team reach out to our friends at Grevin Museu in Paris, France, wrote Johnson in his Instagram posts caption , so we can work at updating my wax figure here with some important details and improvements- starting with my skin color.

Johnsons statement was only the beginning, however.

His caption was also accompanied by a takedown video from Los Angeles comedian James Andre Jefferson Jr. , who cheekily suggested the wax figure was turned white in revenge after Black actor Halle Bailey was cast as the lead in Disneys The Little Mermaid (2023) remake .

This is a wax figure of The Rock, Jefferson said in the video. You know, Black ass Samoan The Rock. They turned The Rock into a pebble. They done turned The Rock into a vinyl rock or something like that. It looks like The Rock aint ever seen the sun a day in his life.

Jefferson continued, Whoever the artist behind this, dont need to do no type of art. I dont want you on Sims building a character. No arts and crafts. If youve got a little two-year-old that gotta make a project, let them do that on their own.
