Dwayne Johnson Is Now A Wax Figure, And It's Actually Kind Of Creepy

Four wax sculptures of Dwayne Johnson have been installed at various Madame Tussauds wax museums around the U.S.

It’s The Rock as you’ve never seen him before in wax! Four times over!

Madame Tussauds has created four wax sculptures of Dwayne Johnson that are being installed in four of the famous wax museum’s U.S. locations: New York, Hollywood, Las Vegas and Orlando, Florida.

Each statue features Johnson in a scene from one of his films, purposely picked for each Madame Tussauds location.

All are different, and, as is typical of wax figures, each one is vaguely creepy in its own unique way.

For instance, the sculpture at the New York Madame Tussauds is dressed like the actor at the 2017 premiere of “Jumanji: Welcome To The Jungle.” The statue also gives the trademark raised eyebrow.

The wax version of The Rock at Madame Tussauds Orlando pays tribute to his action movie roles.

And the version at Madame Tussauds Hollywood has the actor flashing a “shaka” power pose in an outfit inspired by what Johnson wore at a Beijing press conference for “Hobbs & Shaw.”

Although the wax figures might strike many as creepy in that “uncanny valley” way, Johnson himself seems jazzed about them, based on a video he posted on Instagram announcing the new statues.

“The most honest way I can describe this…

So fuckin’ cool.”
