Macaulay Culkin dressed up as his celebrity look-alike for Halloween and got a hilarious reaction
Macaulay Culkin honored his NFL lookalike Joe Burrow by dressing up as him for Halloween.
The “Home Alone” franchise star, 44, proudly shared pics of himself costumed as the Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Oct. 31 on Instagram.
“Game on @joeyb_9,” he captioned the shots.
Some fans have pointed out the resemblance between Culkin and Burrow. The quarterback, when asked in 2022 who should play him in a movie, replied that he’s heard about the comparison, according to a tweet by ESPN reporter Ben Baby.
Culkin is taking those comments in stride this Halloween, and after tagging Burrow’s Instagram account in his caption, he also attracted the quarterback’s notice.
“Touché sir touché,” Burrow commented alongside the actor’s pics.
Culkin replied to Burrow’s comment, seemingly daring him to dress up like him, or perhaps one of his movie characters. “Ball’s in your court, Joey B,” Culkin teased.
Burrow also shared a photo of Culkin’s costume to his Instagram story, writing, “Touché alleged” doppelgänger.
Bengals fans also reacted to Culkin’s post and seemed to give his costume two thumbs up.
“You my friend understood the assignment! Coming from everyone in Cincinnati!” one wrote.
“Why did you post a photo of Joe Burrow?” joked another.
“As a Cincinnati Bengals fan this is exactly what we needed let’s go baby,” someone else remarked.
Several fans suggested that Burrow should honor Culkin by dressing up as his “Home Alone” character.
“@joeyb_9 has to be Kevin McCallister now!” wrote one, adding an emoji of a zombie slapping his cheeks.
The official Instagram account for the Bengals also chimed in, commenting the team’s chant, “Who dey.”
Culkin’s wife, Brenda Song, meanwhile, took the opportunity to show her support for her team, the Los Angeles Rams, who beat the Bengals in the 2022 NFL championship game.
“Hey, remember Super Bowl LVI?!?” Song commented.
