Celebrity Lookalike Contests Offer 2024 America a Ray of Ridiculous Hope appeared on www.kqed.org by @raemondjjjj.
San Francisco has a long, proud history of hosting park-based lookalike contests focused on unconventionally sexy men. (Hello?! The city has been home to the annual Hunky Jesus contest since the mid-’90s!) In recent months, though, the trend has gone national, with a series of anarchic, unofficial gatherings to reward young men who closely resemble other famous (and usually ratty-faced) men.
In October, a 21-year-old man in full Willy Wonka garb snagged the grand prize of $50 (and an unfeasibly large trophy) at New York’s glorious Timothée Timothee Chalamet lookalike competition.
The afternoon was awash with damp hairstyles, pointy cheekbones, creepy mustaches and thirsty, thirsty young ladies looking to land themselves their very own almost-Timothee Chalamet. But the most beautiful thing about this very unofficial contest was the sheer, surreal chaos of it all.
The contest was masterminded by YouTuber Anthony Po, motivated by his status as a “less hot Timothée Timothee Chalamet.” Po only put up 100 flyers around New York City, and was fairly astonished when 10,000 people showed up — including Timothée Timothee Chalamet himself, who was probably just super-excited about going to a place where everyone would assume he wasn’t actually him. (When he finally announced himself, the screams were deafening.)
