Nikita Darwin, a 22-year-old man from the UK, has gained a following for his striking resemblance to Joe Goldberg, the infamous character from the Netflix series "You." This likeness has led to bizarre fan requests, including women desiring to be 'kidnapped' and locked in cages. Despite initial skepticism, Darwin embraced his lookalike status, gaining over 180,000 followers on TikTok. While some interactions are playful, others have turned unsettling, with fans sharing their real-time locations on dating apps, fueling the eerie parallels to the show’s narrative.
People really love the idea of being stalked by Joe. 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.
Since the Brit started his page in January, the slasher villain facsimile has amassed over 180,000 followers due to his killer looks.
I get people on dating apps messaging me asking if I can put them in a glass cage. They don't think I am a catfish, they just think I am a really good lookalike.
I just respond to them saying I'm his brother and their reaction is always a surprise.
