From Timothée Chalamet to the 'Challengers' Cast -- Lookalike Contests are Taking over the World. Who Would We Love to See Next?
Andrea Marks Joseph READ TIME: 25 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!
Cooper Koch
How could we possibly decide between multiple contestants who show up looking like the talented actor who stunned us all with his "Monsters" performance in the recent Ryan Murphy show? Somehow, it must be done. We will do the hard work this calls for! We'd love to see a contest for people who look like the "well hung" (in his own words, on Andy Cohen's show) out actor who casually dropped the news that he did not wear a prosthetic in his full-frontal nude scene, and has won over many fans who love his candid vibe, playful interview answers, and handsome face. Bonus points to any lookalike contestants who arrive as Cooper Koch with a true to real-life equally-hot twin!
