Fans think ‘something is missing’ after Dwayne Johnson’s waxwork was unveiled

They can't quite put their finger on it.

You know you've made it when there's a waxwork of you sitting somewhere in a museum.

Dwayne Johnson has been given that honour by the Grevin Museum in Paris.

The legendary actor's figure has finally been unveiled and fans wasted no time in lining up to get a picture of them standing next to The Rock.

The waxwork shows the Jumanji star standing with his arms crossed and dressed in a blue collared t-shirt and navy pants.

It's an interesting take on the actor, especially considering we usually see him in gym gear looking absolutely jacked.

While it's an impressive art form to recreate someone in wax, some people couldn't wrap their heads around it.

"Not one of your best guys - considering the quality of the rest of the museum, there’s something not right about the sculpt on this," said one person on Instagram.

Another added: "Is it a little pale or is it the lighting?"

A third wrote: "It doesn't look like him at all!"

It's hard to put your finger on exactly what seems off about the waxwork but there's definitely something.

Dwayne Johnson's waxwork was compared to Mr Clean and Channing Tatum instead of the Fast X actor.

The Daily Mail says The Rock was selected out of an impressive list of celebrities for the museum's next waxwork.

He beat out the likes of Ariana Grande, Tom Holland, Zendaya, Dua Lipa, Elon Musk, Selena Gomez, Chris Pratt and Margot Robbie.

Harry Styles recently had a waxwork figure unveiled by Madame Tussauds and it sparked a similar debate on his likeness.

The version that will go on display at the London venue will feature a green double-breasted suit jacket and lime green trousers, inspired by the outfit he wore at the My Policeman premiere.

Another figure will feature the rainbow sequinned jumpsuit he wore to Coachella.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I can’t wait to go and see them I am so so excited I am a Harry styles fan," one person wrote on social media.

While others thought the wax figures missed the mark.

One critic wrote: "LOOOL both Harry figures with his mouth open, I’m dead, that looks nothing like him."

Another added: "Y'all made him look weird."

A third said: "You did him dirty in the faces and also his tattoos."

While others had some... artistic suggestions.

"Were the pearls necessary? No one of those outfits goes with pearls and it’s just a cliché at this point. The pearls are a big NO," one person commented.

"Realistically why did you take his t*ts away?" one person asked.

"I’m not an expert, but shouldn’t he have gotten bigger hitties?" suggested someone else.

It seems like you really can't make everyone happy.
