Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, 49, was just as surprised as everyone to see his now-famous doppelg\u00e4nger. <\/p>\n
Eric Fields, a 37-year-old patrol lieutenant who has worked for Alabama's Morgan County Sheriff's Office for nearly 20 years, made headlines last week after a photo of him shared to Facebook had many saying he was the spitting image of Johnson.<\/p>\n
In an interview with AL.com, Fields said it\u2019s been a "running joke" for a while that he resembles The Rock. So much so that people will sometimes encourage him to say the famous catchphrase "Can you smell what the Rock is cooking?"<\/p>\n
Well, apparently he can \u2014 and did! On Tuesday, the Jungle Cruise<\/em> star caught wind of the story and gave his two cents. <\/p>\n "Oh s**t! Wow," Johnson tweeted alongside a side-by-side of the two men flashing similar grins and wearing aviator sunglasses.<\/p>\n "Guy on the left is way cooler," he wrote, referencing Fields. "Stay safe brother and thank you for your service. One day we\u2019ll drink @Teremana and I need to hear all your 'Rock stories' because I KNOW you got 'em."<\/p>\n Oh shit! Wow. \u2014 Dwayne Johnson (@TheRock) August 31, 2021<\/p>\n Teremana is Johnson\u2019s small-batch tequila, which earlier this year launched "Guac on the Rock," an initiative for people across the country to support their local restaurants.<\/p>\n As for Fields, he's clearly enjoying the moment. <\/p>\n "I've been called The Rock and Vin Diesel's love child," Fields told AL.com. "I go along with it. It's humorous. It's flattering. It could be worse people, I guess."<\/p>\n "I just plan on being me. I'll cut up. I'm a big cut-up," he added. "If it comes up and somebody says that, I'll play along. I really couldn\u2019t be anybody but me. I\u2019m just glad I could be part of someone\u2019s happiness and laughter."<\/p>\n Following The Rock's recent tweet, fans couldn't help themselves but chime in on the fun: <\/p>\n "Holy cow is that an uncanny resemblance. You may have found a new stunt double," a commenter wrote. <\/p>\n "My wife ignores many traffic laws when driving through Morgan County in hopes of being pulled over by this guy," another joked. <\/p>\n "But like seriously did you guys do ancestry dna just in case?" a fan added. "Cause that would be pretty funny if you were really long lost cousins or something." <\/p>\n "Ya know\u2026most people have a doppelg\u00e4nger out there somewhere. It\u2019s pretty damn cool when it\u2019s an awesome person like @TheRock," another tweeted. <\/p>\n
Guy on the left is way cooler.
Stay safe brother and thank you for your service. One day we\u2019ll drink @Teremana and I need to hear all your \u201cRock stories\u201d because I KNOW you got \u2018em \ud83d\ude02\ud83d\ude08\ud83d\udc4a\ud83c\udffe\ud83e\udd43 #ericfieldshttps:\/\/t.co\/G38tOr68cW<\/p>\n
