Robert Irwin slammed by fans over Halloween costume

• The 18-year-old animal rights activist dressed up as Dwight Schrute from The Office for Halloween.
• His followers mistook him for serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer, who was convicted of 16 murders and given 16 life sentences in 1992.
• ‘Jesus dude I got Dahmer vibes at first,’ commented a viewer.

Robert Irwin, the son of the late Steve Irwin, has been blasted by his fans who mistook him for Jeffrey Dahmer on Halloween.

The 18-year-old animal rights activist posted images of himself on Instagram and TikTok dressed as Dwight Schrute, a character from the 2000s sitcom The Office who, like the serial killer, has blonde hair and thick-rimmed glasses.

Grace, 19 months, wore a ‘World’s Best Boss’ T-shirt as Michael Scott while Bindi, 24, and Chandler, 25, dressed as Jim and Pam from one of the show’s Halloween episodes.

He captioned the image: ‘Bears. Beets. Battlestar Galactica.HappyHalloween from Dunder Mifflin’s Australia Zoo Branch!’

However, many of his followers misunderstood the reference and questioned whether he was dressed as Jeffrey Dahmer, who was recently brought back into the public consciousness by Netflix’s wildly successful real crime series Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story.

‘Tell me he’s not dressed as Jeffrey Dahmer on Halloween. Cause if he is then byeeee,’ said one.

‘Jeffrey Dahmer?’ asked a second viewer.

‘Jesus dude I got Dahmer vibes at first,’ commented a third.

In 1992, Dahmer was convicted of 16 murders and given 16 life sentences in jail.

However, hundreds of admirers corrected the few who questioned him, with one commenting: ‘Guys, he’s obviously dressed as Dwight from the office and not Dahmer; have you guys never heard these words before?’
