Dwayne Johnson has said he will contact a gallery in Paris after a wax model of him appeared to present the actor with a lighter skin tone.
Fans pointed out the figure’s skin tone was incorrect, after it was unveiled at the Grevin Museum last week.
The Rock shared a video from comedian James Andre Jefferson Jr asking if the wax artist had even Googled him.
His dad, Wayde Douglas Bowles, was also a wrestler - known as Rocky Johnson - and was part of the first black tag team to win a WWE championship.
The museum unveiled the wax figure in Paris on 16 October and says on its website that artist Stéphane Barret had to rely on photos and videos to create the sculpture.
In a press release, it says the model’s eyes “had to be redone three times to avoid too dark a tint making the star’s face too hard and erasing its warm aspect”.
