cop looks like the rock

After his photo was posted online, Alabama cop Lieutenant Eric Fields has gone viral due to his uncanny resemblance to Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson.

When Morgan County Sheriff's Office posted the photo of Lieutenant Fields to their Facebook, it gained a lot of attention with followers taking to the comments section to agree with the likeness.

According to the Sheriff’s Office, Lieutenant Fields is known in the local area for looking like The Rock and a Walmart worker wanted to meet him. The caption reads: 

"This gentlemen recently ran into our Sgt. Mason and informed him he wanted to meet our Deputy that people say looks like "The Rock".

Sgt. Mason passed that along and Lieutenant Fields was happy to swing by the Hartselle Wal-mart to see him. Tyler is one of their many hardworkers and it was great to meet him and some of his coworkers!"

Perplexed, the internet responded with comments like "I'm confused. That's NOT THE ROCK?.” Another commented saying Fields should be The Rock’s stunt double writing, "this guy needs to come to Los Angeles and be the rocks stunt double."

According to one person, they had to convince their son that it wasn’t actually him and said, "I had to convince my 11 year old this wasn't the Rock."

Another said Fields actually looked like a mixture of The Rock and his fellow Fast & Furious co-star Vin Diesel commenting, "It's more like..Dwayne Johnson and Vin Diesel combined or they done fusion technique.”

TikTok user @chandlerelyse_ also pointed out the comparison trying to get The Rock to see his newly found twin.

 In response to his newfound fame, Fields told al.com that it’s been a running joke for years. He told them, “I’ve been called The Rock and Vin Diesel’s love child.” “I go along with it. It’s humorous. It’s flattering. It could be worse people, I guess.”

The 37-year-old Patrol Lieutenant who has worked with the Morgan County Sheriff’s Office for 17 years, says his family even sees the resemblance. He even posted on Twitter that his wife made him an action figure from The Rock’s WWE figure.

UPDATE: The Rock himself has responded!

 

In response to the news of his doppelgänger, Dwayne Johnson himself has taken to Twitter to say that his look-alike is way cooler. He tells him to stay safe and thanks him for his service, whilst inviting him for a drink to hear all his "Rock stories."

A cow has gone viral after being filmed chilling in the back seat of a sedan in a McDonald's Drive-Thru.

The steaks were high when a Wisconsin resident spotted a brown calf in the back of a car while waiting in a queue for Maccas Drive Thru.

Taking stock of the situation, Jessica Nelson posted the 19-second video to her Facebook page. In less than 24 hours it received 52,000 views and over 2,000 shares, with Nelson commenting it was "all because an old man drove thru McDonald’s with a cutie cow. I wish I was able to give him all the credit-I just shot the video."

The original video was posted with the caption, "A WHOLE FREAKING COW!!! Tell me you live in Wisconsin without telling me you live in Wisconsin."

Nelson spoke to FOX6 about the sighting, saying she was new to the farming thing and “seemed to have been the only one freaking out about a cow being in a Buick."

The cow-spotter really milked the situation, and has spoken to almost a dozen news outlets since the incident.

We just hope the calf was planning on ordering a McChicken, instead of something of the ground beef variety...

Ed Asner, who played a gruff newsman for laughs and for drama in the classic TV series The Mary Tyler Moore Show" and its spinoff Lou Grant in the 1970s and 1980s has died at 91.

Asner, whose diverse credits also included a key voice role in the acclaimed 2009 animated film Up, died at his home surrounded by his family, his publicist told media outlets.

His family confirmed the death on the actor's Twitter feed, writing, "We are sorry to say that our beloved patriarch passed away this morning peacefully."

"Words cannot express the sadness we feel. With a kiss on your head- Goodnight dad. We love you," his family said.

Asner was known for his liberal politics and his stint as Screen Actors Guild president in the 1980s when he criticised US involvement in Central America during the administration of a previous head of the actors' union, President Ronald Reagan. In a career of remarkable longevity, Asner acted into his 90s.

Asner was integral to the success of the situation comedy Mary Tyler Moore, which ran on CBS from 1970 to 1977 and boasted one of the best assemblages of actors and writers in US TV history.

Asner was not known as a comic actor before landing the Mary Tyler Moore role but demonstrated deft comic timing in working with a cast that included Ted Knight, Betty White, Valerie Harper, Gavin MacLeod and Cloris Leachman.

"I didn't really put my toe into the water of comedy until I went up to read for 'Mary Tyler Moore.' I was afraid of it," Asner said in a 1995 Montreal radio interview.

"Not that I couldn't do an initial spark of humour but I didn't know how to maintain it."

The series ran for seven years and won the Emmy for outstanding comedy series three straight years starting in 1975. Asner won three Emmys for his work on the show.

"Mary Tyler Moore" spawned a number of spinoff series. After the show ended, Asner brought his Lou Grant character to a series of his own. Whereas Mary Tyler Moore was a fun sitcom, the new show, Lou Grant, was a drama with Asner's character relocated to Los Angeles to become city editor of a daily newspaper.

The series ran from 1977 to 1982 as Asner became the first actor to win an Emmy - two of them, in fact - playing the same character in both a comedy and a drama. Asner asserted that Lou Grant was cancelled by CBS due to his outspoken political views, not due to ratings.

"I have no proof. But most insiders seem to think that the show would not have been cancelled had it not been for the controversy that arose over my stand on El Salvador," Asner said in an interview for the Archive of American Television.

As head of the actors' union from 1981 to 1985, Asner also clashed with conservative actor Charlton Heston.

Asner also won Emmys for his work in two miniseries - Roots in 1977 and Rich Man, Poor Man in 1976 - and his total of seven was more than any other male actor. He was nominated for an Emmy 20 times.

Later in his career, Asner became a successful voice actor for animated TV shows and films and played Santa Claus in several projects, including the 2003 Will Ferrell comedy Elf.

Asner remained a busy actor into his 90s with appearances in such series as Dead To Me and Cobra Kai.

Asner, born in 1929, became a regular on television and later the movies starting in the 1950s. Before their series began, he starred with Moore in the Elvis Presley movie Change of Habit (1969) although they never met on screen. Asner also appeared in the film They Call Me Mister Tibbs! (1970) with Sidney Poitier.

Asner also was instrumental in the 2017 creation of the Ed Asner Family Center, founded by his son and his daughter in law, to help children with special needs and their families.

alana thompson honey boo boo teen vogue

Alana Thompson, better known as 'Honey Boo Boo', has appeared all grown up in a photo shoot with Teen Vogue.

Now at 15 years old, just shy of her 16th birthday, Thompson has decided to let everyone know her real name.

Excited about her Teen Vogue appearance, she told her followers on social media, "OMGG !! I’m soo excited to finally tell everyone that I'm on teen Vogue 💗! this is a dream come true, never in million years would I've thought I was gonna be on teen vouge but look at me now 🥰! I'm so thankful & grateful for this opportunity 💗!! @teenvogue"

In her interview with Teen Vogue, the child star told them she’s grown out of Honey Boo Boo, and into Alana. She said, “They are completely two different people... I would say that I do like this Alana now, rather than the younger Alana.”

Teen Vogue also shared the set of images from the photoshoot saying, "Here comes Alana Thompson, and she wants you to know that #HoneyBooBoo is not her name. A public figure before she was even in elementary school, Alana's entire life—and the trauma within it—has played out in front of cameras; she has been documented to the extent that some people have forgotten she’s a kid—not a character. Just shy of her 16th birthday, Alana speaks to @rainesfordstauffer about her life as a public high schooler, her relationship with Mama June, and growing up in the spotlight."

The full interview dives into her growing up, her issues with her mum, body shaming and positivity, and what’s coming for her future.

In 2018, Thompson was a contestant on Dancing With The Stars Juniors and is still on TV, co-starring on ‘Mama June: From Not To Hot.'
