'The Rock at 15' pic goes viral as people compare themselves with former WWE superstar

Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson, who is busy promoting the new show 'Young Rock' that entails the WWE superstar-turned actor's childhood, recently featured on the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon. During the show, Johnson's mother also appeared in the episode, while a picture of his childhood also made its way on the screens.

The image is of Johnson at the age of 15, posing shirtless, holding a football in hand and showing off his bulked up body. He also flaunts his biceps and the fans couldn't stop themselves from comparing their childhood image to the one of 'The Rock'.

Im belly laughing .....
LOVE this.
One had a full mustache and was getting arrested multiple times, while the other had a respectable job as everyone’s favorite grocery boy at the local market...love ya man!! https://t.co/LqeIqLs6XW

The series, which is going to premiere on NBC network in the United States on February 16 captures Johnson's childhood from three different points in his life, when he was 10 living in Hawaii, when he was 15 living in Nashville and having run-ins with the law and when he was 18 and heading off to the University of Miami to play college football.

Jimmy Fallon, after the interview had aired, posted his picture at the same age as that of Johnson and it sent the Twitterati into a frenzy. Most of the Twitter users couldn't stop their laughter, seeing the difference in the physical body sizes of the two, while many of them also started posting their pictures when they were of the same age.

Here are some of the hilarious comparisons by the fans and the reactions:
