Kevin Hart Gets the Wax Figure Treatment and Has… Questions:
Kevin Hart has officially joined the celebrity pantheon to be honored with a life-size wax figure. And, since the final results bore little resemblance to the comedian’s, he took a page from his 2011 special “Laugh at My Pain” and invited fans to do it.
Hart shared a video of the sculpture at the Hollywood Wax Museum in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, last week to her Instagram followers, one of whom called it “the Temu version” of what fans could expect.
“WTTTTFFFFFF…. What did I do to these people…?” the actor wrote on Saturday in the caption of his post. “This is an attack…Who the hell is this?????? At this point these museums are just trying to make me cry…This shit has to stop…I demand it be redone, damn it!!!!!”
Hart hilariously scored his video to Luciano Michelini’s “Frolic,” which plays over the closing credits of each “Curb Your Enthusiasm” episode after things go horribly wrong. While the wax figure got his hair, beard and fashion sense right, Hart wasn’t impressed.
“I know this isn’t Kevin Hart,” he wrote in an overlay caption.
The figure itself is dressed in a black T-shirt, pants, and leather jacket with a gold Cuban link chain, and while it looks impressively lifelike and features a perfect smile, one fan argued in a comment that the sculpture looks more like NFL star Kyler Murray than Hart.
“Cook. Him,” Don Cheadle, his “Fight Night: The Million Dollar Heist” co-star, wrote in the comments.

Fellow comedians couldn’t help but chime in, with HaHa Davis joking that “that was me.” Former “View” co-host Star Jones wrote, “This doesn’t make ANY kind of sense!” Meanwhile, the renowned wax museum Madame Tussauds did not come to play: “It would never be us.”
However, the sculpture has finally brought Hart into some pretty esteemed company, as celebrity wax figures often disappoint, and Hart now shares that honor with the likes of Taylor Swift, former first lady Michelle Obama and the late Princess Diana.
Fortunately, the museum preserved Hart’s skin tone, which was not the case with Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson when the Musée Grévin in Paris turned the black and Samoan actor white. Johnson, Hart’s frequent co-star and real-life friend, couldn’t help but laugh at the comedian’s pain.
“It’s PERFECT,” he commented. “Don’t change anything.”
