Jeremy Allen White Lookalike Contest Poster Causes Stir After Viral Timothée Chalamet Event

The battle of the doppelgängers is upon us.
In case you missed it over the weekend, a cheeky Timothée Chalamet lookalike contest took place in Lower Manhattan on Sunday, in which the “Wonka” star, 28, shocked everyone by showing up without notice.
The same day, an X user shared a poster announcing a Jeremy Allen White look-alike competition coming up next month. The poster features a photo of the “Bear” actor, 33, sporting a white tank top and leaning on a bicycle.
According to the advertisement, the event will take place at the Washington Square Park Arch in New York City on Nov. 17 at 1 p.m.

While the prize for the Chalamet lookalike competition was $50, the White poster promises a gift of “2 packs of cigarettes + 7 day metrocard” for whoever shows up looking the most like the Brooklyn-born actor.
The prize is a reference to White’s anxiety-stricken character in the Emmy-winning series “The Bear.” White plays Chicago-based chef Carmen “Carmy” Berzatto, who is fighting his cigarette vice.
X users reacted over the hilarity of the forthcoming event and had major feelings about the prizes.
the prizes are so unserious like the Timothée Chalamet contest had a $50 prize 😭😭

the thing about the jeremy allen white look alike contest is that it is too soon since the iconic original one and many of the timothee look alikes will also be in attendance
