The comparisons to Jeremy Allen White first started for Ben Shabad when the television show “Shameless” premiered. Between his hair and face, the 37-year-old mental health therapist bears a striking resemblance to the actor.

Move over, Carmy. Chicago just crowned its very own Jeremy Allen White lookalike, and the resemblance is pretty uncanny. On November 16, 2024, dozens of hopefuls channeled their inner chef (complete with those signature white t-shirts and aprons) at a local park, all vying for the title of best Berzatto doppelgänger.

The fitting prize for a competition to see who looks most like the star of "The Bear?" Fifty bucks and a pack of Marlboro Red cigarettes. Oh, yeah, Ben Shabad, 37, really does look a lot like White.
