Comedy superstar Kevin Hart has been given the wax treatment, but it seems this particular figure is drawing attention for some unexpected reasons. Debuted at the Hollywood Wax Museum in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, the statue has sparked a wave of online commentary that’s anything but flattering.
The comedian himself wasn't too thrilled and humorously took to social media with some NSFW remarks, wondering aloud, “What did I do to these people?” and jesting that these museums seem set on making him cry. He didn't stop there – Hart demanded a redo of the waxwork, adding to the viral conversation.
The Instagram video showcasing the figure has exploded with over 13 million views and 30,000 comments. Fans and fellow celebrities alike have weighed in. One fan quipped, “Kevin The Weeknd” while another cleverly noted, “When you order your wax figure off Temu.”
“It’s PERFECT, Don’t change a thing,” joked Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson, Hart’s frequent collaborator, showcasing his signature humor.
E! Online also pointed out some striking differences from the real Hart, including higher hair, a lighter skin tone, and a pronounced jawline.
The unexpected reactions have certainly put the Hollywood Wax Museum in the spotlight, though perhaps not quite in the way they intended. While the museum has yet to comment on Hart's request for a redo, the incident has certainly provided plenty of entertainment and chatter across social media platforms.
As fans eagerly await any updates on a revised figure, it's clear that Kevin Hart, in his usual comedic fashion, has turned a wax mishap into a viral moment.
