Dwyane Wade reacts to his statue's makeover

What BBN said about it

1. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorA Miami Heat statue of Dwyane Wade went viral because the face looked like nobody, and now it has a new one.

2. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorMy guest stars in a film called The Likeness, which is a coincidence I'm taking credit for. Jaylen Corbitt Rhodes, welcome.

3. JC

   Jaylen Corbitt RhodesThanks for having me. Between us, and about four hundred people at my gym, I love a good comeback.

4. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorESPN says the original face was panned because it barely resembled Wade. Did you see it?

5. JC

   Jaylen Corbitt RhodesYes, everybody did. I thought it looked like a man who'd heard of Wade once at a party.

6. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorThe work was finished in the last few days, with a plywood box over it so the public couldn't see.

7. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorI call that a controlled reveal.

8. JC

   Jaylen Corbitt RhodesA box is professional. Nobody wants to be watched while they fix a face.

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorWade wrote, "So we listened. We went back to work. And we made the adjustments." It reads like a recall letter for a face.

10. JC

    Jaylen Corbitt RhodesBeautiful. I'd put that on a poster.

11. 

    Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorSpeaking of posters, tell us about The Likeness.

12. JC

    Jaylen Corbitt RhodesI play a sculptor who carves a statue of his own twin. The twin sues, and the statue testifies. I'm in all three roles.

13. 

    Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorThe statue testifies.

14. JC

    Jaylen Corbitt RhodesOnly in the second act. Between us, and a stadium of people I once told, it's a stretch.

15. 

    Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorBut you keep turning your headshot face down. Is there something about your own likeness you'd like to address?

16. JC

    Jaylen Corbitt RhodesNo. It's resting. Next question.

17. 

    Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorBut you didn't answer the question. Is there a curtain somewhere I should know about?

18. JC

    Jaylen Corbitt RhodesFine. At a wax museum, my figure had a face like a thumb. I fixed it myself, behind a curtain, in two nights.

19. 

    Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorA thumb.

20. JC

    Jaylen Corbitt RhodesBetween us, and ten thousand strangers, it now looks like a better thumb.

21. 

    Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorLightning round. Favorite material to sculpt: bronze or wax?

22. JC

    Jaylen Corbitt RhodesWax. It forgives.

23. 

    Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorVerdict on the new Wade statue: I'd give it a respectable eight, and the plywood gets a rave review. Jaylen, what's behind that curtain right now?

24. JC

    Jaylen Corbitt RhodesJust a plywood box I built myself. Please don't lift it.
