Kevin Hart publicly mocked a wax figure of himself in an Instagram video posted March 14. The 46-year-old comedian demanded a redo and called the likeness an ‘attack’ on his appearance.

Hart’s social post and video

The clip used the “Curb Your Enthusiasm” theme to underline the gag. Onscreen text read, “I know this ain’t Kevin Hart.”

Hart also asked who the figure was supposed to be. He quipped that wax museums were trying to make him cry.

Public reaction

Fans jumped into the comments. Some dubbed the sculpture “Devin Hart.”

Actress Jameela Jamil wrote it was the worst wax likeness she had seen. Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson left a playful reply, saying, “It’s PERFECT. Don’t change a thing.”

Red carpet context

The post arrived during Golden Globes week, which featured stars like Leonardo DiCaprio, Elle Fanning, Hailee Steinfeld, and Adam Sandler. Several celebrities and viewers shared moments from the red carpet online.

Where the figure is and outreach

The statue is displayed at the Hollywood Wax Museum in Tennessee, according to Filmogaz.com. Filmogaz.com has contacted the museum for comment about Hart’s remarks.

Past wax-figure disputes

The episode echoed a 2023 controversy. Dwayne Johnson raised concerns about a wax figure at the Grévin Museum in Paris.

He said the statue’s skin tone appeared lighter than it should be. The museum later updated the likeness and acknowledged the original needed correction.

Hart, known for films such as Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle, used humor to spotlight the issue. His demand for a redo put renewed attention on how celebrities are represented in wax.
