In October, fans were disappointed when the Musée Grévin in Paris unveiled their wax figure of Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. The wax figure involved a significant amount of work and attention to detail, especially regarding the actor’s tattoos. Despite the effort, they failed by a long shot to match his skin tone accurately.
Fans then took to social media to vent their frustrations and demanded a remake. They accused the museum of “whitewashing” an actor of Samoan and black Nova Scotian ancestry.
Some even compared him to Mr. Clean and his Fast and Furious co-star, Vin Diesel. Others wondered how the museum could let this mistake happen, with one person asking if they had asked “someone of color for their opinion.”

“The Circle,” Netflix’s social media-inspired reality competition series, has been renewed for two more seasons.
Seasons 6 and 7 of the series were filmed in Atlanta, a departure from its previous U.K.-based seasons. Season 6 is set to debut next spring.
At the moment, it’s unknown if these upcoming seasons will be typical or specialty seasons of the series. Season 5 debuted the series’ first specialty season, “The Circle: Singles.”
The series first debuted in January 2020, just ahead of pandemic lockdowns, and is produced by Studio Lambert and Motion Content Group. Based on the British series of the same name, the series follows a group of contestants who live in separate apartments in the same building.

Rapper Lil Wayne tweeted his disapproval of a wax figure of himself that has been on display at the Hollywood Wax Museum at Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, since last summer.
It shows Wayne’s tattoo-covered chest, a white polka dotted shirt sagging around his arms and red and blue plaid pants.
Wayne saw an image of the statue on the social media app X.
User @rahsh33m posted, “they did Lil Wayne Filthyyyy.”
This image soon went viral.
The rapper reacted by tweeting: “Sorry wax museum but dat s— ain’t me! You tried tho and I appreciate the effort.”
The viral sensation came just one day after Dwayne Johnson responded to the negative comments from fans regarding his own wax figure, which had been unveiled at the Grévin Museum in Paris in early October.

The Grevin Museum in Paris has updated their brand-new wax figure of Dwayne Johnson, after the actor took to social media recently to graciously point out that his lookalike looked, well, white.
“[This is] a wax figure of The Rock,” comedian James Andre Jefferson Jr. said in an Instagram reel reposted by Johnson over the weekend. “You know, Black-ass Samoan The Rock? That’s how Paris thinks he looks. They turned The Rock into a pebble! They done turned The Rock into an albino rock… How are you gonna take all the n**** out of Dwayne Johnson?!”
Sadly, it’s not unusual for celebrities of color to get the short end of the stick when it comes to their wax figure reproductions; just ask Beyoncé and Rihanna. But Johnson took it with a good sense of humor, writing that he “belly laughed” at Jefferson’s roast of the sculpture. “I’m going...

France’s Musée Grévin took Dwayne Johnson’s comments and social media outcry over the star’s botched wax figure to heart. Within 24 hours, his figure was updated by artists who gave it a slightly darker skin tone with meticulous strokes of oil painting. Johnson’s suburban dad-esque outfit, however, has remained.
“We found his reaction rather friendly when addressing the fact that his figure was indeed whiter than it should have been,” said Veronique Berecz, the museum’s head of PR who has been at the iconic museum for over four decades and worked closely with the likes of Michael Jackson, Nicolas Cage and Donald Sutherland on their wax figures.
“Unfortunately, we didn’t get to meet Dwayne Johnson so we used several photos — but as it turns out, pictures can be very tricky because the nuances of skin tones can differ depending on the lighting on photos,” she said.

Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson got a response from Musée Grévin after fans roasted a recent wax figure of the Hollywood star.
Dwayne Johnson agreed with fans who were left confused by a new wax figure of him on display at a museum in Paris. He revealed in an Instagram post that he will request that Grevin Museum update his wax figure, pointing to his lighter-than-reality skin complexion. In a statement to Today, a spokesperson for the museum agreed with the criticism adding: "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." The statement is partially in response to the actor stating his intention to visit the museum when next in Paris to share a drink with his wax figure.

“Is this how y’all felt when you lost the Little Mermaid?” Jefferson joked.

Dozens of competitors have graced the past five seasons of America's version of The Circle, but while the Netflix series routinely adds new players as the game progresses, these late additions always find themselves stuck with the same disadvantages. Since anyone can enter The Circle as themselves or a catfish, the only way to make it to the final vote and walk away with 100,000 is to not only retain a strong level of popularity but manipulate and align with equally strong players along the way. With several twists and turns introduced each season, The Circle has entertained viewers in the United States since 2020.
Hosted by comedian Michelle Buteau, The Circle has produced four winners, with a fifth around the corner after The Circle season 5 kicked off at the end of 2022. While the series returned with eight new players, several contestants have been introduced as late additions, such as The Circle...
