A wax figure unveiled in Paris appeared to present the mixed race actor with a lighter skin tone.

      You beat me to it. Everyone knows you get Vin Diesel if you accidentally bleach The Rock. The wax museum artists should have known better.

    That wax figure looks like a vampire version of The Rock was bitten by another vampire to make him even more pale.

    artist Stéphane Barret had to rely on photos and videos to create the sculpture.

    Did they? Because he doesn’t look white in any of the results on Google

        “Whiteness” is pretty vague but…compare the skin tone on the statue to the pictures. It’s not even close

    That’s why Madame Tussauds is still the best. Their figure of the rock is much much better and skin tone accurate. This one doesn’t even really look like him

    He should probably send them a picture of his chin too.
