'You look really well' - 'Earbuds Paul' crowned winner of Paul Mescal lookalike contest - with top prize of 20

The atmosphere was laid back and enjoyable as lookalikes traded notes on their costumes as fans looked on, proving that not all competitions have to be chaotic.

The winner, 'Earbuds Mescal' - Jack Wall O'Reilly, recited a line from Mescal’s role in Normal People. This uncanny delivery won unanimous applause from the crowd.

Mr. Wall O'Reilly remarked on the necessity of such events, saying, 'It's been a good buzz... people are having a rough time.' His honesty emphasized a communal spirit.

On his €20 prize, he humorously noted, 'I might keep this in the back pocket or I'll go do a Lidl shop if they allow this big a cheque in self checkout.'
