CNN —Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson’s wax figure is getting a makeover.
The Musée Grévin, a museum in Paris, France, that specializes in wax figures of famous people, came under fire recently for a sculpture of Johnson that many found to be too light skinned to represent the actor, who is multi-ethnic.
The Instagram account for the Musée Grévin featured an Instastory on Monday, stating that the wax figure is a “work in progress.”“Our artists are already working on improving the waxwork of Dwayne Johnson,” the post read.
“Your feedback is always valuable to us.”The museum had been accused of “white washing” the actor’s image.
Johnson’s late father, the wrestler Rocky Johnson, was of Black Nova Scotian descent and his mother, Ata Maivia, is Samoan.
