7x NBA champion Robert Horry responded, ?Yeah I looked it up?a part of his head isn?t as round as ‘The Rock?s’.? The co-host then said that the wax statue looks more like Vin Diesel but Robert Horry did not agree.

Robert Horry stated, ?To me, it looked like ‘The Rock’.? He described the statue by drawing a strange parallel to the Hollywood actor, ?’The Rock’ has more of an egg-shaped head, and that came out like the Mr. Clean head.?

?Mr. Clean? is a mascot and the brand name of an American-owned company called ?Procter & Gamble?. ?The Rock? was certainly not happy when the ?The Mus?e Gr?vin? in France unveiled the wax statue and criticized it too.?

?The Mus?e Gr?vin? then redid the wax statue. The new version has darker skin and Dwayne ?The Rock? Johnson’s face looks more natural.
