For a man as unique as Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, you'd think it'd be difficult to mistake anyone else for him. But that's not the case.

A law enforcement officer in Alabama has gone viral because he bears an uncanny resemblance to the wrestler turned action movie star.

Eric Fields, a patrol lieutenant with the Morgan County Sheriff's Office, went viral for how much he looks like The Rock.


Lt. Fields is a graduate of Brewer High School in Somerville, Alabama. The 37-year-old has been working in the department for 17 years.

During his time, many have compared him to the famous actor. He's used this to try and connect with people in his community.

He became so famous for the comparisons to The Rock.



He told local news WVTM 13:

"I'm a bit of a cross between The Rock and Vin Diesel. Remember, The Rock is six-foot-four, 260 pounds, and I'm only 6-foot-2, 230 pounds. There is a big difference between the two of us."

Oh, that sounds like a huge difference.






His wife Wendy is a nurse, and often plays along with the joke. She'll often buy her husband gear from Dwayne Johnson's line of workout equipment and clothes.

Despite the admirers, Lt. Fields gets a little intimidated by the comparisons to the movie star.

"I don't want to disappoint anybody. I walk up one day and at a different angle, I don't know."
"It's flattering, but it's also a little nerve-racking as far as what others expect I guess."

The only real disappointment? Lt. Fields can't seem to do the 'People's Eyebrow'.

"I have tried, but there's only one Rock".






With the facial hair and muscular physique, Lt. Fields is happy to use the fame to connect with his community. The photo in the original Facebook post came after a local citizen found out about the look-a-like and asked to meet him.

"We really love to get involved with the community, cut up and be neighbors —not just enforcement."

Just try to not get arrested in Morgan County. You don't want to smell what Lt. Fields is cooking.

Sandra Lee, known as "Dr. Pimple Popper" on Lifetime, is well-known for her bedside manner, medical knowledge and ability to share her knowledge in an accessible way, and, of course, her unique approach to dermatological care.

Rob Schneider Dragged For Criticizing Elizabeth Banks' 'Dangerous Rhetoric' After She Called Out White Female Trump Voters

After actor and filmmaker Elizabeth Banks—who played Effie Trinket in The Hunger Games—called out white women who voted for President Donald Trump, MAGA actor Rob Schneider lashed out against what he referred to as her "dangerous rhetoric."

Those who've read the book and seen the film adaptation of The Hunger Games know that Trinket—known for joyfully announcing, "Happy Hunger Games and the odds may be ever in your favor!"—is a mistress of propaganda for a hostile government that forces teenagers to fight to the death every year to intimidate critics and keep society's poorest and most vulnerable in line. Trinket eventually embraces the rebellion.

Trump's Border Czar Ripped For Hypocrisy After Telling Pope Leo To 'Stay Out Of Politics'

President Donald Trump's border czar Tom Homan was called out for hypocrisy after telling Pope Leo XIV to "stay out of politics" after he clashed with Trump over the widely unpopular war in Iran.

Last week, Pope Leo criticized the war and called on the world "to reject war, especially a war which many people have said is an unjust war, which is continuing to escalate and is not resolving anything."
