Robert Irwin has been slammed by fans who thought he dressed up as Jeffrey Dahmer for Halloween – following the success of the Netflix series about the infamous serial killer

Robert Irwin was slammed by fans who mistakenly thought he dressed up as Jeffrey Dahmer for Halloween.

The 18-year-old wildlife warrior shared photos of him on Instagram and TikTok dressed up as Dwight Schrute, a character from the ’00s sitcom The Office who has blonde hair like the serial killer and wears similar thick-rimmed glasses.

Bindi, 24, and Chandler, 25, appeared as Jim and Pam in one of the series’ Halloween episodes, while Grace, 19 months, wore a “World’s Best Boss” t-shirt as Michael Scott.

He was beaten to death with a metal bar in November 1994 by Christopher Scarver, another inmate at Columbia Correctional Institution in Portage, Wisconsin.

The gruesome story of Dahmer was told in the 2002 film Dahmer, in which Jeremy Renner played the title role; and 2017’s My Friend Dahmer, in which Ross Lynch played a teenage version of the aspiring serial killer.

Most recently, Ryan Murphy wrote a ten-part series that retells the story of Dahmer from the perspective of his victims and examines the major mistakes made by the Wisconsin police force in investigating the notorious mass murderer who made national headlines for cannibalism and necrophilia. It became one of the most-watched Netflix series in history.
