Paul Mescal Lookalike Crowned in Dublin Ahead of 'Gladiator II' Premiere

The contest in Smithfield Square draws fans mimicking the Irish actor's signature style, with Jack Wall O’Reilly winning the €20 prize.

Jack Wall O’Reilly won the Paul Mescal lookalike contest in Dublin, impressing judges with his mimicry of the actor's style and mannerisms.
The event took place just hours before the Irish premiere of 'Gladiator II,' although Mescal did not attend the contest.
Participants donned Mescal-inspired outfits, including short Gaelic football shorts and wired earbuds, in a bid to win the modest prize.
The contest follows a similar event in New York for Timothée Chalamet, which was attended by the actor himself and ended in chaos.
Upcoming lookalike contests include a Harry Styles event in London and a Jeremy Allen White contest in New York.
