CHICAGO - Dozens of contestants showed up to compete in the Jeremy Allen White lookalike competition on Chicago's West Side Saturday afternoon.
A group of white t-shirt and blue apron-clad men and women gathered in Humboldt Park to see who most resembled White, known for his roles in Chicago-based shows "The Bear" and "Shameless."
The competition began at 1 p.m. and the winner took home "$50 and some cigarettes," according to fliers posted around the city.
Ben Shabad was declared the winner of the competition. He reportedly received the cash, cigarettes, a crown, and a trophy.
