I’m a Joe Goldberg lookalike, these are the strangest requests I get from women on the street

Looking like a celebrity sounds like a pretty good deal. Celebs are stunning, and admired by millions of people. But you know what’s probably really less than ideal? Being a Joe Goldberg lookalike. Yeah, could be a bit awkward.

Despite Joe having a hold on us throughout the entire of YOU on Netflix, we have now *finally* just come to the conclusion he’s the worst man ever. He killed countless people. Tormented countless women. Deserves to be in jail for life.

One man has said he’s “inundated” by viewers of the Netflix show, because he looks just like serial killer Joe. 22-year-old Nikita Darwin has claimed he is regularly compared to Joe, played by Penn Badgley. He’s just an innocent content creator, from Dover, Kent.

“I have a lot of family and friends say that I look like Joe from YOU,” Nikita admitted. “A lot of people tell me that I have a serial killer vibe, which is kind of scary as I am not trying to be a serial killer.”

Nikita started posting videos on TikTok three weeks ago, and his messages were soon flooded by strangers who said he bears striking resemblance to Joe Goldberg. “I have had a lot of people in my life who tell me I look like Joe,” he said.  “So I thought I would start posting online, it has been kind of crazy.”

Nikita has shared he gets a number of odd requests from strangers, and is constantly getting messages and being stopped in the street. He said it is “kind of crazy” to be told that he looks like the infamous stalker and serial killer and the amount of messages he gets about it is “insane”.

Nikita said women on dating apps ask him to “kidnap them and lock them in a cage”. Some women will even send him their address for him to go over – but he insisted he’s never taken anyone up on the offer. Obviously.

“People really love the idea of being stalked by Joe,” he said. “I will be sent locations, people will ask me to stalk them and lock them in a glass cage.”

He added: “I get thousands upon thousands of messages every day of people telling me that I look like Joe and asking me to stalk them. I just respond to them saying I’m his brother and their reaction is always a surprise.”

Nikita said he is a huge fan of YOU, but doesn’t understand why women are fascinated by Joe as a character. He said every day he leaves the house, someone will come up to him – mistaking him for the character.

Nikita said: “My initial response is always ‘I get that a lot’. I will leave the house and people come up to me asking me to stalk them. In all honesty, I don’t think people would enjoy it as much as they think they would. I think he is really bad, but all the girls seem to be fascinated by this serial killer, which is really messed up.”

Season five of YOU is available on Netflix now. For all the latest Netflix news, drops, quizzes and memes like The Holy Church of Netflix on Facebook.
