Two years ago, the social media world erupted when people found out that Dwayne Johnson has a doppelgänger. Yes, you heard that right, a doppelgänger. And here we thought they were only in books or drama series. But no, the wrestler-turned-actor has a real-life lookalike that shares an uncanny physical resemblance with him.

The name of his lookalike is Eric Fields, and he is a police veteran from Morgan County in the U.S. state of Alabama. Let’s dive deep and find out more about him.

He doesn’t have a shining career in pro wrestling like his celebrity lookalike, but he sure has an equally successful and impressive career in the police department. But how did the world know about him? How did people find out about him? Don’t worry, we have answers to that, too.

In 2021, Field’s photograph was uploaded to the official Facebook page of the Morgan County Sheriff’s Office. A TikTok user made a video on him and his resemblance to The People’s Champion. The video went viral, which led him to gain universal recognition from the people.

Why do people often confuse Fields with Dwayne Johnson?

As mentioned above in the article, the 37-year-old police veteran has a very similar resemblance to The Great One. From his impeccable physique to his shiny bald head and mesmerizing smile, everything looks identical to Johnson’s.

What might come as a shock to many people is the fact that even his voice is similar to the retired WWE star’s. If that doesn’t count as being a doppelgänger, then we don’t know what does!!! And yes, the tattoos. How can we forget about the tattoos?

At this point, if we tell you that both individuals have similar tattoos, then it shouldn’t come as a surprise. But… it kind of does, right? The Rock and his lookalike have almost the same circular tattoo on their shoulder/arm/chest. However, there is a difference.

Finally, some difference… phew!!! The Corporate Champion‘s tattoo displays his Samoan roots and family history. His body art also speaks volumes about the struggles and hardships of his life. Whereas Field’s tattoo has more of a religious meaning. His tattoo consists of Hebrew writing that glorifies Jesus.

Fans went berserk all over social media over the two individuals sharing such a close similarity to each other. Let’s have a look at what the police veteran had to say about becoming an internet sensation. We will also tell you what was The Brahma Bull‘s reaction to the situation.

What did Eric Fields and The Rock say about the comparison?
