The Bachelors’ Jed McIntosh fires back at trolls by calling him a ‘cheap impersonation’ of Machine Gun Kelly
The Bachelor’s new lead, Jed McIntosh, bears an uncanny resemblance to rocker Machine Gun Kelly.
Jed, who will appear in the new series, shares the same bleached hair, slim figure, heavily tattooed skin and edgy emo style that MGK, whose real name is Colson Baker, is known for.
On Tuesday, the 25-year-old responded to online trolls who referred to him as a “cheap impersonation” of the American singer, saying he did not find the comments offensive.

speaking to tv weekJed said, ‘I love Machine Gun Kelly, I’ve met him before and he’s a really nice guy.’
I think it’s a compliment. It’s definitely not offensive to me, but yeah, we’re two totally different people.
His co-star Felix Von Hofe also weighed in on the trolling, saying he was also made fun of when Warner Bros. announced he would appear on the dating show.

“Sometimes they call me the ‘ALDI version of Chris Evans’ if someone [the public] wants to run with it,’ Felix, 27, told the publication.
“I’ve seen people call Thomas on social media a ‘sexier version of Jason Sudeikis,'” he later laughed.
The revamped series promises to be filled with drama, betrayal, and, of course, romance, with two suitors getting down on one knee and proposing to their chosen girls.
