“I go along with it. It’s humorous. It’s flattering. It could be worse people, I guess,” Fields, 37, told his local news outlet AL.com.

Fields is not just about looking like Johnson, instead he is also known to bust out the former pro-wrestler’s legendary catchphrase like “Can you smell what The Rock is cooking?” every now and then.
