500 students hunt for Jacob Elordi lookalike at University of Bristol
A 17-year-old girl wearing a moustache won the lookalike competition, beating up to 500 student entrants at the University of Bristol.
Students at the University of Bristol held a tongue-in-cheek lookalike contest to find a local stand-in for Australian actor Jacob Elordi. Up to 500 people gathered on College Green to compete, walking a runway and performing Aussie accents.
The winner was a 17-year-old girl who preferred not to be named. She wore a moustache for the competition.
Joey Lush was a runner-up. He said he gathered outfit ideas from Pinterest and admitted he was nervous.
Jamie Crook, another contestant, told the BBC that looking like Elordi helped his dating life for seven years. Overheard at UoB, a social media community about university life, organised the event.
