Macaulay Culkin’s Joe Burrow Halloween costume is a touchdown

Macaulay Culkin honored his NFL lookalike Joe Burrow by dressing up as him for Halloween.

The “Home Alone” franchise star, 44, proudly shared photos of herself dressed as the Cincinnati Bengals quarterback on Instagram on Oct. 31.

“Game on @joeyb_9,” he captioned the shots.

Some fans have pointed out the similarity between Culkin and Burrow. When the 2022 quarterback was asked who should play him in a movie, he responded that he had heard of the comparison, according to a tweet from ESPN reporter Ben Baby.

Culkin is taking these comments in stride this Halloween, and after tagging Burrow’s Instagram account in his caption, he also caught the quarterback’s attention.

“Touché sir touché,” Burrow said next to the actor’s photos.

Culkin responded to Burrow’s comment, seemingly daring him to dress up as him, or perhaps one of his movie characters. “The ball is 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 responded to Culkin’s post and seemed to give his costume two thumbs up.

‘You, my friend, understood the assignment! Coming from everyone in Cincinnati!” wrote one.

“Why did you post a picture of Joe Burrow?” joked another.

“As a Cincinnati Bengals fan, this is exactly what we needed, let’s go baby,” someone else commented.

Several fans suggested that Burrow should honor Culkin by dressing up as his “Home Alone” character.

“@joeyb_9 must be Kevin McCallister now!” wrote one, adding an emoji of a zombie slapping his cheeks.

The Bengals’ official Instagram account also joined in, commenting on 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 defeated the Bengals in the 2022 NFL championship game.

“Hey, remember Super Bowl LVI?!” Song commented.
