So you know where to go if you have a resemblance to the actress-comedian ("Shiva Baby," "Bottoms," and "Saturday Night"). And $50 to the winner!
The flyer looks the same as we've seen for other public events staged via YouTube personality Anthony Po...
Last month, as you likely heard, there was a Timothée Chalamet look-alike contest in Washington Square Park... in which the actor crashed the event.
There have been others for everyone, from Paul Mescal to Zayn Malik.
The Wall Street Journal stated the other day: "We may be living in a golden age of celebrity look-alike contests."
The competitions tend to be hastily organized, pay out almost nothing to the winner and probably will no longer be a thing in a month. But the boisterous gatherings are big parties that double as a way to find a date who looks like your celebrity crush. And unlike going to see an Elvis impersonator, there's always a chance the real guy shows up.The best look-alike subjects, organizers and attendees said, are internet darlings with somewhat achievable physical appearances and the influence to pull a large crowd. Being an A-lister is not a must. Thanks to social media, even niche or relatively new stars can command a fervent following.
Then there was the one for Jack Donoghue organized by our old friend Gutes that never happened.
To the Journal: "This was mostly just a ploy for me to find a boyfriend, but then I got too busy to pull it off lol."
