Comedian Kevin Hart is drawing attention online after reacting to a newly unveiled wax figure of himself, calling out what he described as an unrecognizable likeness displayed at the Hollywood Wax Museum in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee.
As Fox News reported, Hart, 46, shared his reaction in an Instagram post last Saturday, posting a video of the statue.
The figure is shown wearing a gold chain and a leather jacket with its arms outstretched, while the clip was set to the theme music from “Curb Your Enthusiasm.”

The wax figure was unveiled last week at the Hollywood Wax Museum in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, according to People magazine. Fox News Digital reported that it reached out to the museum for comment following the online reaction.
The statue quickly gained traction across social media platforms, with users offering their own interpretations of the likeness and comparing it to other public figures.
“That’s Devin Hart!” one person wrote in the comments section, while another added, “You asked for Kevin Hart and got Kevin The Weeknd.”
“I thought that was me,” another comedian wrote, joining in on the reactions.
Additional comments included, “When you order your wax figure off Temu,” and “They gave him the Jim Carrey facelift.”
Another user wrote, “Kevin Hardly,” while one commenter added, “Chris Rock Tucker In the face.”
Another fan suggested the statue “looks like what your youngest will look like older,” referring to Hart’s youngest son, Kenzo, 8.
Some users also referenced Hart’s ongoing public friendship with actor Dwayne Johnson, speculating about whether Johnson had any involvement in the situation.
“I feel like @therock had something to do with this,” one person commented.
Johnson responded directly to Hart’s post with his own remark, writing, “It’s PERFECT Don’t change a thing.”
The exchange comes as Hart and Johnson continue to work together, including their involvement in the “Jumanji” film franchise. Johnson also posted a video last weekend showing Hart joking with him while he was eating on set.
“I want to hate this so bad and punch @kevinhart4real right in his little Keebler elf face, but dammit my jaws hurt from belly laughing at his commentary,” Johnson wrote.
He added context about the filming schedule, stating, “btw, we have less than 3 minutes between takes, so that’s why I use a shovel size spoon to devour my food. Can a working man just eat in peace? Paybacks a b—-, Kev.”
The viral reaction to the wax figure has continued to circulate online as fans and commentators weigh in on the resemblance and Hart’s response.
