It all started with a quirky Timothée Chalamet look-alike contest in New York City last month, where thousands gathered to participate in the viral madness. The event, hosted by a YouTuber known for similar antics — drew huge crowds, a few arrests, and even a surprise visit from the real Timothée Chalamet himself. The winner? Not the actual actor, but a look-alike who walked away with a $50 prize and internet fame.
Now, this celebrity look-alike craze is making its way to Los Angeles this weekend! So much that there are a total of four going down. Whether you or a friend resembles Shrek, Peso Pluma, Shohei Ohtani, or even Patrick Zweig and Art Donaldson from Challengers, you’ll have a chance to strut your stuff and/or hang out with some doppelgängers.
