Pete Buttigieg didn't have to put much effort into his Halloween costume.

That's because the South Bend, Ind. mayor and 2020 presidential candidate already bears a striking resemblance to Boston Celtics head coach Brad Stevens. While campaigning in New Hampshire this week, Buttigieg threw on a Celtics hat and that's all it took for the "costume" to be spot-on.

Later in the day, Tracy Stevens, Brad's wife, tweeted a photo of the Boston head coach dressed up as South Bend's Mayor that was ready to give out some candy.

Both Stevens and Buttigieg have acknowledged being each other's doppelgangers, and they definitely embrace it.

"I had a friend a few years ago who said, 'I just met the mayor of South Bend, Indiana, and he is incredibly impressive -- and he looks exactly like you,'" Stevens told 98.5 The Sports Hub's "Zolak & Bertrand" back in March.

"I've actually followed him pretty close. And I'll be real candid: I love a lot of his platforms. I'm a big fan of his."

It's clear the feeling is mutual.
