A young Toronto Maple Leafs fan's Auston Matthews Halloween costume is going viral and, if he plays his cards right, he could meet the newly-minted captain face-to-face.
Toronto Maple Leafs' Captain Auston Matthews has revealed he's a fan of a seven-year-old Grayson Joseph's Halloween costume, which pays tribute to his Upper Deck trading card.
“Let’s goooo!” seven-year-old Grayson Joseph is heard saying in costume in a TikTok that’s been viewed by more than 1.2 million people, including the Leafs and Matthews himself.The getup is much more than just a Toronto jersey and helmet. Fashioned to look like an Upper Deck trading card, Grayson’s father, Grant, said the 3D-style ensemble took a little over a week to put together, with the help of a Trenton, Ont.-based design company.
The costume also features Matthews’ signature moustache, which Grayson joked only took him “one day” to grow. “When he saw it instantly, he goes, ‘I wanna be Austin Matthews’ and I’m looking at this thing, I’m like, it’s gonna be really difficult and probably expensive,” Grant admitted, but said the end result looks “so good.
