\u201cThis is an attack\u2026. Who in the f*** is this?????? At this point these museums are just trying to make me cry,\u201d he continued, adding four crying-face emojis.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis s*** has to stop,\u201d the 46-year-old said, demanding the museum remake the statue.<\/p>\n
Images posted online show the waxwork of the famously short actor dressed head to toe in black, wearing a zip-up leather jacket and a large gold chain necklace.<\/p>\n

Social media users in the comment thread agreed with Hart, humorously pointing out the lack of apparent resemblance.<\/p>\n
\u201cCook. Him.\u201d fellow actor Don Cheadle commented, kicking off a chain of one-liner zingers.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen you order your wax figure off Temu,\u201d one wrote.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s Devin Hart,\u201d another quipped.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou asked for Kevin Hart and got Kevin The Weeknd,\u201d said a third.<\/p>\n
A fourth jokingly suggested the sculptor gave Hart the \u201cJim Carrey facelift\u201d, while another said he may be \u201centitled to compensation\u201d.<\/p>\n
Hart\u2019s frequent collaborator Dwayne \u201cThe Rock\u201d Johnson was one of the few commenters who defended the figure, though some suggested his remark may have been tongue-in-cheek.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s PERFECT, Don\u2019t change a thing,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
The pair will appear in the upcoming Jumanji sequel, which is expected to be released in December.<\/p>\n
Last week, Johnson posted a behind-the-scenes clip from the shoot in which Hart could be heard mocking the former wrestler while he ate his lunch, Fox News reported.<\/p>\n
\u201cI want to hate this so bad and punch Kevin Hart right in his little Keebler elf face, but dammit my jaws hurt from belly laughing at his commentary.<\/p>\n
\u201cCan a working man just eat in peace? Paybacks a bitch, Kev.\u201d<\/p>\n
Hart\u2019s waxwork is far from the first to attract backlash from unimpressed muses and their fans.<\/p>\n
Pop star Ariana Grande commented \u201cI just wanna talk\u201d after her wax figure was unveiled at Madame Tussauds in London.<\/p>\n
Photos show the statue dressed in her signature oversized jumper and thigh-high boots, with her hair in her trademark high ponytail.<\/p>\n
\u201cOMG this wax figure looks like Ariana Grande \u2026 on crack,\u201d one commenter wrote.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u201cThis is an attack\u2026.
