You’ve probably heardWill Poulter’s name a lot lately, and for a good reason.

When Will switched over to Twitter, things got serious for a moment. He came across atweetfrom a user asking why he dressed up like Sid Phillips fromToy Storyback in 2017. “Thought he hated this comparison, so how did this happen in the end? Knowing him he must have done it for a reason," they wrote.

Will candidly explained his reason for dressing up like his least favorite comparison, saying, “I did do it in light of some of the comparisons between me and Sid fromToy Storythat were going around on the internet.”

“I work with Anti-Bullying Pro and the Diana Award, I did it during anti-bullying week to raise awareness of that organization," Will said. “So, that was that.”

When he shared the tweet at the time, he wrote, “In addition to having a laugh at my expense, I wanted to try and raise some attention for a cause I am an ambassador for! @antibullyingpro.”

Will’s reason behind dressing up as Sid reminds me of the time I finally dressed up like Mr. T for Halloween after years of being teased for looking like him. Truly, I hated the comparison but felt if I finally embraced it, maybe the jokes would go away.
