Kevin Hart just went nuclear on a wax figure that was supposed to honor him. The 46-year-old superstar posted a video of his new statue at the Hollywood Wax Museum in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, and straight-up demanded they melt it down and start over.
“This is an attack,” Hart wrote on Instagram. “Who in the f*** is this?????? I demand a redo damn it!!!!!!”
The figure shows a man in a black leather jacket and thick gold chain, posing with a slight smirk. Fans immediately agreed with Hart: the face looks more like a random guy from Philly than the global comedy king who has grossed over $4 billion at the box office.
Dwayne Johnson jumped into the comments with perfect trolling timing.
“It’s PERFECT. Don’t change a thing,” The Rock wrote, earning over 200,000 likes in hours.
The comment section turned into a roast festival. Actress Jameela Jamil called it “the worst one I’ve ever seen of anyone.” Jersey Shore’s Jenni “JWowW” Farley accused The Rock of paying the museum to sabotage his friend. One fan wrote, “When you order Kevin Hart from Temu.”
This is not the first time a wax museum has butchered a Black icon.
In 2023, Dwayne Johnson forced the Musée Grévin in Paris to redo his figure after they made him look like a white bodybuilder dipped in light bronze. The museum admitted the mistake and fixed the skin tone within weeks.
That same year, Lil Wayne saw his Hollywood Wax Museum figure and tweeted, “Sorry wax museum but dat s*** ain’t me! You tried tho and I appreciate the effort.”
The pattern is painfully clear: museums keep getting skin tones, facial features, and expressions wrong when it comes to Black and brown celebrities.
The Pigeon Forge museum has a long history of questionable figures.
Visitors have been laughing at their Beyoncé (looks like a tired Leah Remini), their Rihanna (more like a random Instagram model), and their Morgan Freeman (who somehow looks younger than he did in 1995).
Kevin Hart’s statue is just the latest disaster to go viral.
Fans are now flooding the museum’s Instagram and Google reviews with photos of the Hart figure next to the real Kevin, asking if they used a 1998 yearbook photo as reference.
Some are joking that the statue actually looks like Hart’s character from Jumanji after ten years of hard living.
The bigger question: why do these museums keep messing this up in 2026?
Modern scanning technology can capture every pore on a celebrity’s face. Madame Tussauds in London and Las Vegas rarely get called out anymore because they fly the stars in, scan them for hours, and let them approve the final product.
Smaller regional museums like the one in Pigeon Forge often work from photographs and old reference material, which explains why their figures look like bootleg action figures.
Kevin Hart has not said whether the museum has reached out to him yet.
But given how fast the Musée Grévin fixed The Rock’s figure after he spoke up, the smart money says Pigeon Forge will quietly start over before spring break crowds show up.
For now, the funniest man in the world just gave us another classic Kevin Hart meltdown, and the internet is eating it up.
