"He looks like an Eastern European plumber." "Why have you white-waxed him?" are some of the comments.
Now, "The Rock" himself, who is of Samoan and African-American descent, has commented on the anything but portrait-like figure.
On Instagram, he wrote that he will have his team "reach out to our friends at the Grévin Museum in Paris so we can work on updating my wax figure with some important details and improvements – starting with the skin color," Johnson writes.
Even comedian James Andre Jefferson Jr has released a video clip of him mocking the statue.
"You make Rock look like David Beckham. It looks like Rock is about to become part of the royal family. I'm a little offended," Jefferson said.
In 2018, the museum was the subject of similar ridicule for an unflattering depiction of President Emmanuel Macron.
