Comedian Kevin Hart has been ruthlessly roasted online after a wax statue unveiled in his honour appeared to bear little resemblance to the star.
The Get Hard star posted an Instagram reel this week in which he decried the sculpture at the Hollywood Wax Museum in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, accordingto Entertainment Weekly.
The attraction bills itself as the largest wax museum in the United States and hosts a large collection of pop culture icons including Taylor Swift, Snoop Dogg and Dolly Parton.
“This is an attack…. Who in the f*** is this?????? At this point these museums are just trying to make me cry,” he continued, adding four crying-face emojis.
“This s*** has to stop,” the 46-year-old said, demanding the museum remake the statue.

Social media users in the comment thread agreed with Hart, humorously pointing out the lack of apparent resemblance.
Hart’s frequent collaborator Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson was one of the few commenters who defended the figure, though some suggested his remark may have been tongue-in-cheek.
“It’s PERFECT, Don’t change a thing,” he said.
The pair will appear in the upcoming Jumanji sequel, which is expected to be released in December.
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.
“I 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.
