“It’s an incredible situation to look like him,” said the Italy-born-and-raised gym guru. “In general, I’m quite a private person, and I don’t like a lot of attention — but I never tire of this because it makes people happy.”

Almost a decade ago, Muratore's friend noticed the shocking similarity. "I first heard I looked like The Rock about 10 years ago," Muratore told Jam Press. Whenever I went anywhere, people would stop and ask me for pictures. Everywhere - hotels, restaurants, beaches - it happens.

There was once a person who followed me down the road for 15 minutes. It was a bit stressful." It is worth all the hassle, Muratore says - since being a lookalike for the 50-year-old "Fast & Furious" legend is an honor.

A champion in sports and life, Muratore is very lucky to look like him. Audience members mobbed him once at a movie starring the beloved "Moana" actor. Just a few kids remained after the movie ended," said Muratore. “The kids saw me and started screaming, ‘The Rock! '” The Rock!’ “
