Joe Burrow lookalike Macaulay Culkin dresses up as Bengals QB for Halloween

Joe Burrow was asked ahead of the Cincinnati Bengals' Super Bowl 56 appearance who would play him in a movie.

Burrow's response? According to ESPN's Ben Baby, some have told him that he looks like "Home Alone" star Macaulay Culkin.

More than a year and a half later, NFL fans are getting a chance to see the uncanny resemblance thanks to Culkin's Halloween costume.

Culkin decided to dress up as Burrow for Halloween. The 44-year-old posted photos of his outfit to Instagram and tagged the Bengals quarterback in the caption section.

"Game on @joeyb_9," Culkin wrote.

The Bengals were fans of Culkin's post, excitedly commenting, "WHO DEY!!!" on it. Culkin himself later beckoned Burrow to join in the fun with a comment of his own.

"Ball's in your court, Joey B," Culkin wrote in his post.

Will Burrow try to dress as Culkin for Halloween? It won't be as easy to pull off as Culkin's Burrow costume, as there are many iterations of Culkin for which Burrow could go.

Does Burrow dress up as Kevin McAllister from the "Home Alone" franchise, or would he pick one of Culkin's more recent projects? Perhaps dressing as Culkin's character from "American Horror Story: Double Feature" would fit the mood of the season.

Of course, unless Burrow coordinated his costume with Culkin, the Bengals quarterback wouldn't have found out about this until the actor-slash-musician posted his costume on social media Wednesday. As such, Burrow may have different plans in store for his Halloween costume.

Either way, Culkin's costume establishes him among the clear favorites in a Burrow lookalike contest. Barring a challenge from "John Wick: Chapter 4" and "The Crow" star Bill Skarsgaard, Culkin seems likely to remain entrenched as the top doppelganger comparison for the Bengals quarterback.
