But many doppelgangers have tried to most resemble Timothée Chalamet and Harry Styles while attending recent street contests designed at finding the strongest lookalikes.
In a trend driven by Gen Z, a string of low-stakes competitions have taken place in the UK and US following a demand for fun, innocent, free things to do among youngsters.
A recent Harry Styles doppelganger contest was held in Londons Soho Square on Saturday, with several hundred people in attendance.
Organiser Katrina Mirpuri, a 29-year-old journalist, was inspired by two recent events themed around actors Chalamet and Paul Mescel.
With a panel of judges, 22-year-old Oscar Journeaux was crowned the best Harry Styles lookalike and took home a £50 reward.

Ms Mirpuri said she selected the former One Direction singer for her London event because he represents the city perfectly.
He lives in Hampstead, he rides a Lime bike, he is always seen in London, she told The Times.
The New York Police Department was at the scene of the Chalamet doppelganger event last month, after the actor himself made a surprise appearance in front of hundreds of fans.
YouTuber Anthony Po, who organised the stunt, said he planned the event in response to a lack of creativity.
He told entertainment industry website The Hollywood Reporter: A lot of creators arent really creating anything.

Theyre just commentary channels in a weird way. [We thought] What would be fun? What would get people talking?.
Lookalike Miles Mitchell, who dressed as Willy Wonka inspired by Chalamets recent film, won $50 (£39).
Videos of his success collected millions of views on social media, with many looking forward to similar events in the future.
Former The Only Way Is Essex contestant Gemma Collins and the Gallagher brothers from Oasis are among the stars being considered as the focuses of the next event in London, it is understood.
