Cincinnati Bengals QB Joe Burrow took to Instagram on October 31 to post a story featuring Macaulay Culkin. Burrow appreciated the doppelganger look from the Home Alone franchise star. Culkin was inspired by NFL fans who earlier pointed out the resemblance between the two.
"Touche alleged doppelganger," Burrow wrote.
The former child actor and Golden Globe nominee dressed as Burrow for Halloween, wearing jersey #9 and copying Burrow's hairstyle. The original post was shared on October 30 with the caption,

Joe Burrow's doppelganger receives appreciation
The 44-year-old actor received multiple responses from fans and celebrities alike. The Bengals commented,
"WHO DEY!!!"
TV presenter Renee Paquette showed her approval by commenting,
"YES!"
As fans started reacting to Culkin's Halloween cosplay, Joe Burrow finally took notice and commented,
"Touché sir touché"
During an interview with ESPN ahead of Super Bowl LVI, Burrow was asked who could play him in a movie. He replied that he was aware of Culkin's similar looks (TODAY).
While Culkin rocked the Burrow look, the 27-year-old QB could try something similar. But which iteration of the actor should Burrow try to pull off?
On the field, the Bengals and Burrow are going through a rough phase, as they lost their last game against the Philadelphia Eagles, 37-17. Nonetheless, with Halloween strong in the air, Cincinnati will look to turn the tide on Sunday against the Las Vegas Raiders.
