A French museum says it has fixed a waxwork of Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson after he complained about it. The Grevin Museum in Paris proudly revealed the life-sized figure of the wrestler-turned-actor earlier this month and got a wave of criticism back. One of the biggest was over the model’s skin tone, with fans accusing the creator of “whitewashing” the star, who has dual heritage. The Grevin Museum has since accepted that The Rock’s comments were correct and said staff had worked overnight to “remedy the skin tone” of the wax figure. Museum director Yves Delhommeau initially blamed the model’s skin tone on a “lighting issue” and said it would be addressed.
