Imagine being so wrapped up in your cosplay that you end up at the police station for “being too realistic” 😅. Well, that's what happened to a 16-year-old boy dressed as HUNK from Resident Evil, who was arrested in the UK for carrying a toy replica 🚔🔫 while heading to a convention. The funny thing is, this isn't the first time something like this has happened: there have already been cases involving Star Wars and Fallout fans, and the problem is always the replicas that look too authentic. The chosen character isn't just any character: HUNK debuted in Resident Evil 2 and is almost as iconic as Leon or Wesker, with his helmet, gas mask, and MP5 that made him recognizable. The arrest took place near Stamford Bridge on August 30, right when a Chelsea vs. Fulham match was on ⚽, which explains the collective paranoia. Although police confirmed the gun was fake, British law prohibits anyone under 18 from carrying imitations in public, so things got even more complicated. To top it all off, a viral photo on Reddit further confused the situation, as it wasn't even the detainee who went viral on the news. In short, this young man went from cosplay to "criminal" in a matter of seconds, all because he wanted to be HUNK in real life 🎭➡️🚓.
