A police officer is going viral due to his uncanny resemblance to former WWE superstar and A-list celebrity Dwayne Johnson, alias The Rock.
Lieutenant Eric Fields from the Morgan County Sheriff's Office in Alabama went viral after his department posted a photo of him on August 21. In the photo, Fields, built like the actor, was seen posing with a fan.
According to the police, the man had met a junior officer and requested to meet with Fields. The cop, who could easily be The Rock’s stunt double, gladly passed by his workplace.

Fields speaks
Speaking to AL.com, Fields said he has worked with the Morgan County Sheriff's Office for 17 years under different departments but is currently a firearms instructor.
According to Fields, he is flattered being compared to The Rock. He said:
"I've been called The Rock and Vin Diesel's love child. I go along with it. It's humorous. It's flattering. It could be worse people, I gues,."
Fields admitted that his family sees their resemblance, and his wife often buys him The Rock’s workout paraphernalia.
“I’m just glad I could be part of someone’s happiness and laughter,” he said.
Netizens affirm The Rock resemblance
Social media users reacted to a photo of Fields by writing:
Gonçalo Faróia Alves:
“Would love to see Dwayne The Rock Johnson visit this cop.”
Kimberly Treadway:
“He does look like The Rock.”
Tiffany Tesfay:
“You’re telling me that’s not The Rock?”
Diane Stapp Gerstman:
“So if we have a problem can we call him personally?”
Vickie Anthony:
“Wow, I would have sworn he was The Rock!”
The Rock may go for US presidency
Meanwhile, Legit.ng earlier reported that The Rock revealed one of the things he may explore in the future. He, however, noted that its achievement is dependent on what people think about it.
It was gathered that the actor noted that he is not joking, however, he insisted the final decision would be up to people to make.
He said:
“So I would wait, and I would listen. I would have my finger on the pulse, my ear to the ground.”
