Robert Irwin has been slammed by fans who mistakenly thought he dressed up as Jeffrey Dahmer for Halloween. The 18-year-old wildlife warrior shared photos to Instagram and TikTok of him dressed up as Dwight Schrute, a character from noughties sitcom The Office, who like the serial killer has blonde hair and wears similar thick-rimmed glasses.
Bindi, 24, and Chandler, 25, went as Jim and Pam from one of the show's Halloween episodes, while Grace, 19 months, donned a 'World's Best Boss' T-shirt as Michael Scott. He captioned the image: 'Bears. Beets. Battlestar Galactica.#HappyHalloween from Dunder Mifflin's Australia Zoo Branch!' he captioned the image and video, in reference to the show.
However, the reference went over many of his fans heads who instead questioned if he was dressed as Jeffrey Dahmer - who recently came back into the zeitgeist due to Netflix's hugely successful true crime series Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story. Jeffrey Dahmer?' asked another viewer. Jesus dude I got Dahmer vibes at first,' commented a third.
However, hundreds of fans put the few questioning him right, with one commenting: 'Guys he's clearly dressed as Dwight from the office and not Dahmer, have you guys not heard these lines before?'There's no way y'all see a blonde guy with glasses and immediately think of Dahmer,' said another. How could ANYONE think that this sweet baby angel of a human being could ever dress up as Dahmer?! Good god,' added a third.
Dahmer was convicted of 16 murders in 1992, and sentenced to 16 life sentences in prison.The gruesome story of Dahmer has past been chronicled in the 2002 movie Dahmer, in which Jeremy Renner played the titular role; as well as 2017's My Friend Dahmer, in which Ross Lynch played a teen version of the nascent serial killer. Most recently, Ryan Murphy wrote a ten-part series retells the story of Dahmer from the perspective of his victims, and explores major mistakes Wisconsin police made in handling the probe of the notorious mass murderer, who made national headlines for acts of cannibalism and necrophilia. It became one of the most watched Netflix series in history.
