You’ve heard of Sportswashing, where countries use their economic might to buy their way into sports with the purchase of leagues, high paying contracts with star players, and lucrative endorsement deals. Now Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is dealing with whitewashing.
His wax statue in the Grévin Museum turned out looking a little on the pale side for the actor’s likings, and comedians and the general public seem to agree. If you ask me he’s also looking a little too slim considering this is “The Rock” we’re talking about here, who is one of the most muscular people I know (I’m also a bit of a fanboy, and would love to be able to do even a fraction of the workouts this man does).
A spokesperson for the museum seemed to agree, and said they’ll be making some updates, and the new statue will be ready when the “The Rock” next visits France.
