Dancing With The Stars pro Ezra Sosa sent fans into a frenzy on Monday night when he suggested Luigi Mangione could be his next partner on the TV show.
Mangione, 26, was arrested this week and charged with the murder of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson, which occurred in Manhattan on the morning of December 4.
While filming a selfie video, Sosa, 24, recorded himself smiling in front of a photo of Mangione and captioned the TikTok post, “He’s going to be my partner season 34,” against the backdrop of an audio captioned, “My lips love sugarrrrrrr.’
Sosa’s 500,800 followers quickly commented on the video, mentioning how much he looks like Mangione.
“Omg you look like twins, only you would think of this,” one said.
A second wrote: “That’s actually your long-lost twin brother Ezra,” and a third commented: “You all look like brothers.”

A fourth follower agreed, saying: “HAHAHA you look like twins,” and a fifth joked: “Ezra you should enter the lookalike contest.”
“Ezra babes, that’s not literally you,” someone else asked, while another admitted: “That’s how I thought this was actually Ezra himself when it all first came out.”
Another TikTok user said, “ERZA! I’ve been trying to figure out why he looks familiar, and it’s because he’s your twin brother!!!!’
Referring to American Horror Story creator Ryan Murphy, who recently released Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story – which was based on a true story, some of Ezra’s followers predicted that a similar series about Mangione would be made.
“Ryan Murphy should cast you in the TV adaptation about him,” one suggested, while another asked, “Ezra, has Ryan Murphy called you yet?”
Another fan predicted, “Ryan Murphy will cast you in the movie.”
Other people admitted that they would be more than happy to see Sosa team up with Mangione on Dancing With The Stars.
“The layers of this are insane,” one fan admitted.

Another asked, “Now tell us how we make this happen for you, dear friend,” and a third said, “No, I agree, I’d love to see it.”
Just hours after Sosa posted the comedic TikTok, Mangione was filmed making a shocking outburst as he arrived at Blair County Court House in Hollidaysburg, Pennsylvania.
The Maryland native could be heard bellowing about how police were “completely out of touch” and “insulting the intelligence of the American people” as he was bundled into court by a horde of sheriffs for his extradition hearing.
The suspected killer was dressed in an orange jumpsuit and had to be restrained when he was brought before a judge in Altoona, Pennsylvania, on December 10 around 1:30 p.m.
