Just days ahead of the contest, Kylie also declared on her new podcast, “I can’t wait to see who wins”
Jason Kelce is the latest celeb to have a fan lookalike contest held in his honor.
On Saturday, Dec. 14, crowds of bearded men filled Philadelphia’s Rittenhouse Square Park for their shot at being crowned the ultimate Jason doppelgänger and earn a cash prize. Some nailed the physical characteristics of the retired Eagles player, while others missed the mark.
The contest was hosted by Instagram user @lexaprotaganist, who posted an advertisement on Dec. 13, thanking several other accounts for spreading the word about the event.
“Thank you to @crossingbroad @phillyinquirer for your early support of the event,” read the caption of the post. “Thank you @claireegill and @noahwoodtheman of @campcrushcomedy for helping me connect the digital comedy world with the physical world. And shout out to @birdgangspirits spirits Philadelphia for throwing us some goodies to give away. PHILLAAAAAAY. LETS ROCK.”
The flyer, which says the event was “Bird Gang approved,” a reference to an Eagles fan group, encouraged attendees to “wear green.”
The event organizer later posted a Reel featuring footage from the contest crowd, along with the caption: “HAVE NO WORDS RIGHT NOW EXCEPT ONE – WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.”
Just days ahead of the contest, Jason’s wife, Kylie Kelce, talked about the competition on the second episode of her new podcast, Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce, saying “I can’t wait to see who wins.”
