Earlier this week, posters around the city announced the Jeremy Allen White lookalike competition would take place at 1 p.m. Saturday on the "big hill" in Humboldt Park. The posters said there would be a $50 cash prize for the winner and "some cigarettes."

Many contestants showed up to the contest, and eventually a winner was crowned.

Jeremy Allen White lookalike Ben Shabad took home the gold, and there actually was a trophy, $50 and a pack of cigarettes as a prize.

"I felt pretty confident," Shabad said. "People have been telling me I look like him for a long time. I don't know if it's changed my life, but it's changed my Saturday."

Last month, a Timothée Chalamet lookalike contest went viral in New York City after the actor made a surprise appearance.
