Kevin Hart is not a fan of his new wax lookalike at the Hollywood Wax Museum in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. He posted a short video of the statue set to the Curb Your Enthusiasm theme and made it very clear he thought the whole thing was a disaster.
Kevin Hart calls the figure "an attack"
In his post, Hart reacted with shock and mock horror, saying the figure felt like "an attack" and demanding a redo. The clip and caption leaned into the comedy, but the message was plain: this wax version does not pass.
Bromance and past teamwork
Hart and Dwayne Johnson are friendly rivals off camera and frequent collaborators on screen. Their joint credits include:
- Central Intelligence
- The Jumanji films, with a third installment currently in production
- DC League of Super-Pets
- A memorable cameo by Hart in the Hobbs & Shaw spinoff
Because they work together so often, friendly trash talk between them is normal. Hart's wax-figure meltdown was an easy target.
Reactions rolled in
Other celebrities chimed in. Jameela Jamil called it one of the worst wax figures she had seen, while Don Cheadle reacted with a playful "Cook. Him." Dwayne Johnson's reply to the whole thing was simple and savage: "It's PERFECT. Don't change a thing."
Wait, hasn't The Rock had wax drama too?
Yes. In 2023 Dwayne Johnson publicly addressed a poorly rendered wax statue of himself at a Paris museum. He asked the museum to make adjustments, including improving skin tone, and the museum updated the figure within days. So Johnson knows the territory when a wax likeness misses the mark.
For now, the ball is in the Hollywood Wax Museum's court. Kevin Hart wants a redo, his friends are enjoying the spectacle, and one of Hollywood's biggest names is content to sit back and laugh at the chaos.
