A Jacob Elordi lookalike competition in Melbourne, Australia, descended into chaos as no lookalikes or even contestants showed up. The event, organized by Alicia Liang-Morgan, was intended to celebrate the Australian actor's attractiveness but was met with disappointment due to the lack of participants.
, I wouldn’t be mad,” says Milla, one of the spectators of Saturday’s Jacob Elordi lookalike competition, which is occurring on the lawn of the State Library of Victoria in the middle of a heatwave. The only thing hotter than the weather, apparently, is Australia n actor Jacob Elordi .is not that great,” she continues. “I think that he is a very attractive man, and if you look like him, then you are also an attractive man.
Since then, we’ve seen similar competitions all around the world: Paul Mescal in Dublin, Harry Styles in London, Jeremy Allen White in Chicago . The competitions tend to happen in cities that have some connection to the stars – hence Melbourne, where the Brisbane-born Elordi attended St Kevin’s College.The organiser of the event, Alicia Liang-Morgan is unfazed by the lack of potential contestants, telling Guardian Australia that she had five people sign up, most of them her friends.
There’s something very Australian about the lack of seriousness with which anyone is taking this event. Another group of girls tell me that they saw a poster for the event on an electrical pole and decided to come for a laugh.Meanwhile, Alicia and her friends have decided to comb the rest of the park for eligible contestants. They find a guy named Ali, who looks nothing like Elordi, but feels as if he might spiritually “be a Jacob”.
