Kevin Hart Mocks Unrecognizable Wax Figure, Demands a Redo

Hart’s Instagram video has renewed scrutiny of wax-figure accuracy after a 2023 Dwayne Johnson case prompted an update in Paris.

Overview

  • On March 14, the comedian posted a video of the statue on Instagram, calling it “an attack,” asking who it depicts, and insisting on a redo.
  • The figure is displayed at the Hollywood Wax Museum in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, following a recent unveiling reported by People.
  • The post went viral as fans and celebrities joked about the resemblance, with quips like “Devin Hart” and “Kevin The Weeknd,” and Jameela Jamil labeling it the worst she has seen.
  • Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson weighed in with a tongue-in-cheek comment—“It’s PERFECT. Don’t change a thing”—after previously facing his own wax-figure controversy in 2023 that was later corrected by Paris’s Grévin Museum.
  • USA TODAY and Fox News said they reached out to the Hollywood Wax Museum for comment, and coverage had not reported a substantive public response from the museum.
