Timothée Chalamet may have played a gay twink long ago in Call Me By Your Name, but in the current timeline, another twink is coming to snatch Chalamet’s wig. And honestly? He’s giving the Marty Supreme actor a serious run for his money.
While Chalamet is cementing his obnoxious bad boy persona via Kashi ads (ew) and talking about how fine art is boring, the man who calls himself by the name Eddie Veyro is making serious waves on OF and beyond. He’s using his resemblance to Mr. Kylie Jenner to promote his own personal, very spicy brand, and wouldn’t you know it, it’s totally working out for him!
While Eddie’s OF page proudly proclaims that “the Timothée lookalike fantasy brought you here,” he’s also very smart to add the disclaimer that he is NOT, in fact, the actual Timothée Chalamet. “Any perceived resemblance is third-party opinion,” he states clearly up top, for obvious a** covering reasons. Glad that’s cleared up, because nobody comes to OF to see covered a**es.
How about we take this to the next level?

Veyro splits his time between London and Mexico, where he seems to have a pretty chill time collaborating with other creators, hanging out, and putting in some long, hard hours in the gym.
While we definitely see the resemblance, it’s definitely giving way more little lad who loves berries and cream (in a good way!) than Timothée in his current more grunge-forward iteration. And do we detect a soupçon of young Justin Hawkins of The Darkness in there?
It’s definitely not a perfect 1:1 with the real Timothée, but that’s not stopping Veyro from racking up followers, which is pretty hard to do in the ultra-competitive OF market. On that platform—and even in Veyro’s own retweets on X—you can find Joe Locke lookalikes, Connor Storrie lookalikes, and even a Chord Overstreet lookalike for those of us who have slightly more vintage memory holes.
The celebrity-adjacent OF fantasy genre is absolutely booming, and we can’t blame these guys for cashing in. In today’s economy, you’ve got to work with what the good lord gave you. And if the good lord gave you a striking resemblance to an A-list Hollywood actor, it’s only natural that you’d use that fortune fact to bolster your brand.
Of course, we’re all thinking the same thing here: does the real Timothée know, and does he care? Does he have an opinion about having his own OF category? Or is he too focused on his latest brand deal to care?
Currently, we don’t know. But if Chalamet does know about his OF twin, he’s being very classy about it, which is kind of a surprise, considering his very openly, non-classy views on ballet and opera.
In today’s world, it’s got to feel pretty weird to be a recognizable-enough brand that you have your own OF genre dedicated to you. Then again, it probably feels just a little bit awesome, too.
