The Rock has responded to online criticisms over the skin color of his newly-unveiled wax statue in Paris, asking the museum to change its skin color.

AceShowbiz - Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson asked a Paris museum to change his waxwork's skin colour after he was mocked online. The wrestler-turned-Hollywood legend, 51, was recently revealed as the newest addition to Musee Grevin's wax statues, though the Internet was sent into a frenzy after noticing the skin colour was far too pale.

"For the record, I'm going to have my team reach out to our friends at Grevin Musem, in Paris, France so we can work at 'updating' my wax figure with some important details and improvements - starting with my skin colour. And next time I'm in Paris, I'll stop and have a drink with myself," the "Fast and Furious" star reacted in an Instagram post, saying that he too wasn't entirely happy with his waxwork.

Comments about the wax statue flooded the Internet as soon as it was unveiled. On X - formerly Twitter - one user wrote, "Wayne 'The White' Johnson," whilst another joked, "Vin Diesel and The Rock made a baby."

Comedian James Andre Jefferson Jr. also chimed in and said that The Rock should instead be called the "pebble" and that he looked like a member of the British Royal Family. Fortunately, the museum has vowed to "remedy" the waxwork as soon as possible.

A spokesperson told Deadline, "Dwayne Johnson is right and we noticed it and will obviously remedy it as quickly as possible and send him new photos once completed. We are waiting for him when he will come to Paris and the Grevin Wax Museum to celebrate that with a cup of champagne."
