When lookalikes rule: Meet the ‘almost’ famous people of Generation Z

Hundreds of people have headed to the streets of London, New York, Dublin and Toronto in recent weeks to try and win celebrity lookalike competitions.

The Gen Z loved phenomenon started last month when doppelgangers of Timothee Chalamet headed to New York to try and win $50 with their resemblance to the Dune star.

But chaos ensued when the actor himself turned up – and a competitor was taken away by police.

Since, savvy celebrity fans have attempted to recreate the chaos with Paul Mescal, Dev Patel and Harry Styles impersonators vying for very low stakes prizes.

But some people can earn up to £300 a day as impersonators, others have found viral fame doing the same.

So can you tell who these Gen Z models are trying to be?
