Kevin Hart is waxing poetic about his new wax figure.

On March 14, the comedian shared an Instagram reel of his new wax figure featured at the Hollywood Wax Museum in Pigeon Forge, Tenn. Hart was shocked by the wax statue, which wore a leather jacket and gold chain. Hart shared a clip of the wax figure's features, adding *Curb Your Enthusiasm*'s “Frolic" theme.

"WTTTTFFFFF …. What did I do to these people…. This is an attack…. Who in the f--- is this?????? At this point these museums are just trying to make me cry 🥺😂😂😂😂….. This s--- has to stop…. I demand a redo damn it!!!!!!!"

The *Get Hard** *actor wasn't the only person with a visceral reaction to the statue. "It’s PERFECT," his frequent collaborator, Dwayne Johnson said. "Don’t change a thing."

Jameela Jamil added, "This is the worst one I've ever seen of anyone."

Don Cheadle, meanwhile, encouraged fans to share their thoughts. "Cook. Him. 🔥🔥🔥," he wrote.

"I feel like @therock had something to do with this 🤣🤣🤣," Jenni “JWOWW” Farley joked.

Other fans chimed in on Hart's video. "When you order your wax figure off Temu 😭😂," one fan quipped. "this is KELVIN HARTLESS," another said.

Hart isn't the only celebrity to have thoughts when they've been honored with a wax figure. In 2023, Johnson posted about his Musée Grévin waxwork museum figure in Paris, asking for an update.

"I knew my boy [Jefferson Jr.] had this Rock wax statue in his roasting crosshairs," Johnson captioned the Instagram reel. "Legit belly laughed at this."

"For the record, I'm going to have my team reach out to our friends at Grévin Museum, in Paris France so we can work at 'updating' my wax figure here with some important details and improvements- starting with my skin color. And next time I'm in Paris, I'll stop in and have a drink with myself."

The museum responded, addressing "L'affaire Dwayne Johnson" and noted that they would fix the Rock's doppelgänger.
