Jalen Hurts Lookalike Contest
Philadelphia Eagles fans, get ready for a fun and spirited event as Washington Square Park hosts the Jalen Hurts lookalike contest on Sunday, December 15th, 2024 at 12:30 pm. Indeed, this celebratory events pays homage to the Hurts effect -on and off the field!
After seeing a lookalike contest for The Bear star, Jeremy Allen White, in Chicago, three friends, Morgan Blagman, Gaëlle Mardy, and Christiane Mushagasha came up with the idea to host one of their own in Philly for Jalen Hurts.
The contest invites all Hurts doppelgängers to come out of hiding and show us their strikingly similar looks. Showcase your best Hurts resemblance whether it’s his signature style, game-day demeanor, or that iconic beard.
The call to action reads:
Jalen hurts twins: come dressed to impress, exude untouchable charisma, flex your football trivia, and keep it cool solving a high-stakes riddle. only the elite will rise.
“We all agreed the city needs this”, said Morgan Blagman, one of the organizers of the event to PHL17.

Important to note, the contest is free to enter however, reservation is required.
Additionally, according to organizers, contestants will be judged on looks, charisma, football trivia, and style.
There can only be one Jalen Hurts lookalike.
Lastly, the winner of the coveted title will win a beard oil, brush, and two bags of Lays Crawfish chips.
