If Dwayne Johnson ever needs a stunt double, he knows who to call first.

Lieutenant Eric Fields of the Morgan County Sheriff's Office in Alabama went viral last week for his striking resemblance to Johnson:

This police officer looks EXACTLY like @TheRock

Johnson finally chimed in early Tuesday (Aug. 31) and offered to exchange "Rock stories" with Fields one day over Teremana, the 49-year-old Hollywood megastar's tequila brand:

Oh shit! Wow.
Guy on the left is way cooler.
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 #ericfields https://t.co/G38tOr68cW

The 37-year-old policeman has worked for the Morgan County Sheriff's Office for 17 years, but he admitted to Susan Hendricks in the above video that "growing up, I wanted to be a cop and I wanted to be a Hollywood stuntman."

Add beloved doppelgänger to the list.

"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."
