Living on the East Coast but identify more as a Midwesterner? Do you have your own zip code tattooed on your arm? Maybe you open your closet to a slew of only white T-shirts? Well, if any are the case, you may want to compete in the upcoming Jeremy Allen White lookalike contest coming to NYC.
NYC has already hosted lookalike contests for Timmothy Chalamet (which actually involved his surprise appearance), Zayn Malik, and even Sean Evans from Hot Ones. Interestingly enough, NYC has already had one for Jeremy Allen White too, but it was overshadowed by the viral Chicago contest.
This second chance for doppelgänger supremacy will be hosted by Italian restaurant, Suprema, on Sunday, April 27th, beginning at 2:30pm. Lookalikes can gather at 305 Bleecker Street for the chance to win $100 and a pack of Marlboro Reds. Second place won’t leave empty-handed either, as they’ll receive $50 and a six-pack of Stella Artois.
For onlookers, or those seriously trying to find a husband, $1 Chicago hot dogs will be available, along with $2 Stella Artois during the contest.
Suprema boasts an inventive menu of truffled deviled eggs to pork shoulder lasagna. Owned by Stephen Wether (who self-proclaimed hates The Bear), the restaurant draws inspiration from the culinary culture of Rome, Spain and Paris.
Moreover, fans can look forward to another season of The Bear this June. This will mark the show’s fourth season, bringing back character favorites including Carmy, Sydney, and Richie. However, a teaser video spoiled the return of Donna Berzatto, Jaime Lee Curtis’ character, who is Carmy’s alcoholic mother.
These lookalike contests have been known to attract droves of contestants and fans. NYC’s first Timothy Chalamet look alike received over 2,600 RSVPs.
According to sources, more than 50 eager lookalikes joined in Chicago’s Jeremy Allen White contest in Humboldt Park last November. We’ll all just have to wait and see what kind of crowd NYC’s iteration will bring
So whether you plan to don your chefs hat and apron, or boldy recreate his famous Calvin Klein billboard, good luck to all and may the best Walmart version of Jeremy Allen Win!
