Jordan Peele recently told Mashable that everything in his latest movie, Us, is deliberate.

Could the same also be said for his fashion choices?

The writer/director attended a UK junket to promote his new movie, and dressed in a checkered shirt and a red jacket for the occasion.

And it wasn't long before someone on Twitter made an interesting connection.

The picture on the left is from Mashable's interview with Peele; the image on the right is Jack Torrance (played by Jack Nicholson) in The Shining.

On Wednesday afternoon, Peele responded.

Is that quote from The Shining an indication that Peele's outfit choice was deliberate?

Well, judging by the scarf he's wearing in this image tweeted by Lupita Nyong'o last night, it certainly seems likely.

We see what you're up to, Peele.
