Following New York City’s wildly viral Timothée Chalamet look-alike contest, which attracted thousands and even drew a surprise appearance from the real actor, local Tampa event organizer Melissa Torres is gearing up for her own take on the phenomenon. Set to take place at Curtis Hixon Waterfront Park, in front of the Tampa Museum of Art, the Tampa edition of the Chalamet look-alike contest is scheduled for Sunday, November 10, from 1 to 4 PM.
“This event is being organized for light-hearted fun above all,” says Torres. “With everything going on in the world, something as unserious as a Timothée Chalamet look-alike competition is a chance to bring joy and remind people that life is about fun and embracing a little absurdity.”
