Police officer leaves fans doing a double-take for looking "exactly" like Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson

Locals in Morgan County, Alabama may be forgiven for assuming a local police officer is actually Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson.

The law enforcement officer went viral for his striking resemblance to the Hollywood star after a picture of him was posted on social media two weeks ago.

According to the Facebook post, a member of the public personally requested to meet the officer "that people says looks like 'The Rock'."

"Lieutenant Fields was happy to swing by the Hartselle Walmart to see him. Tyler is one of their many hard workers and it was great to meet him and some of his co-workers!" the post said.

Fans who replied to the social media post agreed the pair looked very similar.

"Legit looked at the officer thinking it was The Rock in costume for a movie," one Twitter user wrote.

And it seems even The Rock himself agrees!

Sharing a side-by-side comparison image of himself next to the viral photo of the American police sergeant to his Twitter, Johnson wrote: "Oh s***! Wow."

"Guy on the left is way cooler," he wrote referencing Lieutenant Fields.

"Stay safe brother and thank you for your service. One day we’ll drink @Teremana and I need to hear all your "Rock stories" because I KNOW you got ‘em."

The Rock's post has attracted more than 47,000 likes so far.
