From Timothée Chalamet to the 'Challengers' Cast -- Lookalike Contests are Taking over the World. Who Would We Love to See Next?
Shawn Laib READ TIME: 9 MIN.
Lookalike contests are the hottest thing in celebrity culture right now. The Timothée Chalamet contest made history and international headlines, getting everyone talking (and getting some people arrested!), especially since the actor himself (while almost unrecognizable as thee Timothée Chalamet, because he's currently filming a movie about a real-life 1950s ping-pong pro) showed up to the festivities. Fellow movie star Glen Powell recently made a video addressing the entrants of the Glen Powell lookalike competition, for which his mom was a judge, and offered a cameo in his next movie as a prize. It was widely agreed that this person's girlfriend was an excellent choice for second place in the Zayn Malik lookalike competition, and that this other person's girlfriend, who attended the "Challengers" lookalike contest as Art should have won the whole damn thing..
It's been fun, and we've enjoyed seeing from a fresh perspective the wide range of hot people living amongst us, but there are still so many that we would love to see: Give us a Pedro Pascal contest, bring us to a park full of men with salt 'n pepper beards and sparkling eyes! Can you IMAGINE the arms you'd be surrounded by at a Zane Phillips lookalike contest? This is the kind of world peace and harmony we dream about. Let's dream bigger together!
