Viewers spot the creepiest connection between Ted Bundy and Joe from 'YOU'

Was this on purpose!?!?! - by Bianca Mastroianni

Viewers spot the creepiest connection between Ted Bundy and Joe from 'YOU'

Serial killers are trending right now... weirdly... so we're not surprised that every second tv show is centered around true, or fictional crime stories. And they have people talking for DAYS.

Two that are all the rage at the moment are Netflix's YOU, starring Penn Badgley as Joe Goldberg, bookstore manager by day, stalker/serial killer by night.

The other is the true story of serial killer Ted Bundy. 

Zac Efron has portrayed the murderer in the upcoming film Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile... and the docu-series, Conversations with a Killer: The Ted Bundy Tapes is currently available on the streaming site.

People have obviously binged both Netflix series, and in doing so, have spotted a very creepy connection between the real life Ted and Penn's Joe Goldberg.

In the documentary, Ted's wife Carole Boone referred to him as 'Bunny' - the same nickname Candace refers to Joe by in You.

Fans discussed the connection further on Reddit.

"I was watching the new Ted Bundy documentary on Netflix and something really stuck out to me. Apparently Carol Boone, his advocate and wife, called Ted 'Bunny'.

"This reminded me of all the times we hear Candace [from You] call [sic] Joe 'Bunny' in the show. This could be a coincidence but I thought it was an interesting connection."

One person replied: "Joe gave me Bundy vibes as soon I started watching the show. An iconic car, messy brown hair, good looking, charming, intelligent. Maybe they purposely painted him that way, took inspo."

"I also watched the Ted Bundy Tapes and seen that! But she was obsessed with him and didn't believe he would do anything evil and even testified in his defence? Wonder if Candace will come back and try save him?!"

Since Ted Bundy is one of the most notorious serial killers of all time, who was also incredibly smart and charismatic... we wouldn't be surprised if he was the inspiration behind Joe.
