Harry Styles fans hosted one in the name of the former One Directioner, San Francisco locals determined the best Dev Patel doubles, and in Dublin some brave short-short-wearing gladiators entered the ring to see who looked most like Paul Mescal.Ridiculous as they may seem, the beauty of these things is, no matter who ends up on top, we all win, thanks to the many on-lookers who make sure to document them on social media.The contestants at the Jeremy Allen White lookalike competition. pic.twitter.com/yc77ZSg44IThat goes especially for the latest iteration of the global trend, which took us to Illinois where over 50 people donned their blue aprons and bared their muscles in hopes of winning the Jeremy Allen White lookalike contest. Yes chef, indeed!Over the weekend, hundreds of attendees turned up to Chicago’s Humboldt Park to determine who was the best ringer for the 33-year-old actor—a fitting location given the city is home to both The Bear and Shameless, two of White’s most acclaimed and recognized roles.A second Jeremy Allen White and Calvin Klein photoshoot is here to save us.
Illinois is a state in the Midwestern and Great Lakes regions of the United States. It has the fifth largest gross domestic product (GDP), the sixth largest population, and the 25th largest land area of all U.S. states. Illinois has been noted as a microcosm of the entire United States. With Chicago in northeastern Illinois, small industrial cities and immense agricultural productivity in the north and center of the state, and natural resources such as coal, timber, and petroleum in the south, Illinois has a diverse economic base, and is a major transportation hub. Chicagoland, Chicago's metropolitan area, encompasses about 65% of the state's population.
