Dev Patel Says Lookalike Contestants Were ‘Far More Handsome and Qualified’ Than Him

Dev Patel has responded to a lookalike contest that took place in San Francisco in November and drew more than 500 people.

Initially, the event organizers planned to hold a Robert Pattinson lookalike contest, but switched things up at the last minute to better represent the local Indian community. The trend has seen people vying to be mistaken for Jeremy Allen White, Zayn Malik, Paul Mescal, Harry Styles, Glen Powell, and Timothée Chalamet. After the Timothée Chalamet lookalike contest was held in New York’s Washington Square Park, organizer Anthony Po was slapped with a $500 fine for hosting a public event without a permit.
