From Timothée Chalamet to the 'Challengers' Cast -- Lookalike Contests are Taking over the World. Who Would We Love to See Next?

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!

Troye Sivan

There have been rumors of a lookalike contest in Australia, where Sivan is currently touring, as well as posters spotted in Amsterdam, where lookalikes are invited to compete to win "poppers and maybe cash." We're gonna get a lot of partially-dressed dyed-blonde twinks at this event, but if they can show up with Sivan-esque moves and outfits inspired by "Rush" or, if we're very lucky, "One of Your Girls" then we'll be set for a good time! Some important questions that contest organizers will need to answer on their poster: Is this a BYOC (Bring Your Own Chair) situation for those who want to do the "One Of Your" Girls performance, and will they need to bring along their own Ross Lynch, or will one be provided?

Jonathan Bailey

We love Jonathan Bailey, not just for being incredibly hot, but for his endless charisma. The out actor can charm the pants off (literally off!) anybody –any age, any gender, just give him a chance! We've seen it on screen, with women on "Bridgerton," with men on "Fellow Travelers", and we're seeing it right now with everyone on the "Wicked" cinema screen and in the cinema audience. This lookalike contest would be plenty of fun for the variety of costumes that contestants could arrive in, but the true winner should be put to the test of charming random willing members of the audience.

Colman Domingo

This is one of those 'You've really got it, or you just don't' situations. Out actor Colman Domingo has a presence that feels like he's center stage with a spotlight on him, even when it's the middle of the afternoon in a crowded area, so a lookalike competition will have to match looks and his aura. Domingo is always impeccably styled, looking regal in often-jewel-toned suits, with a strong, wise energy about him. He's a one-of-a-kind stunner who's got humor and heart. We're not sure there's anyone remotely like Colman Domingo out there, but we're sure it's worth a try to find someone who may even come close!

Tom Daley

This Olympic diver, husband, dad of two, and knitter extraordinaire is sweet, charming, an enthusiastic thirst trapper, and a man who makes use of the thirst trap potential in his workwear: Speedos. We love that even his recent "Don't drink and dive" awareness campaign was a thirst trap. The man knows his audience. Daley is a young, hot, out gay man who is super successful internationally, but his lookalike contestants don't have to be. They do have to be brunette, fit, and willing to be in public spaces wearing either handmade knitted clothing, or nothing but a Speedo, possibly (preferably!) both at the same time.

Ncuti Gatwa

How could you replicate perfection? We wish the best to anyone willing to try! The "Sex Education" actor and "Doctor Who" star has a smile that could light up the world for miles, and always radiates positive vibes. Whether this queer actor is rocking a crop top, a little mesh number, a formal suit, or teeny-tiny shorts, he is cool, calm, and charming in it! Perhaps it's the energy that Gatwa exudes when he's in a room: As if the moment were built for him to shine in. Even his Madame Tussauds wax figure is genuinely sexy! Now that we think of it... a public square of men even close to this level of beauty and fabulousness may be too overwhelming to witness all at once in one afternoon!
