NYC’s JFK Jr. look-alike contest draws hundreds of thirsty women— and crowns its studly winner: ‘Truly an honor’
NY Post
It was a flashback to NYC in the 1990s.
A sea of hunks wearing backward hats, suits and cutoff shirts took over Washington Square Park on Sunday for the first-ever John F. Kennedy Jr. look-alike contest.
As Lenny Kravitz’s 1991 hit “It Ain’t Over ‘Til It’s Over” blasted through speakers, seven — more participants were in the crowd but arrived after the contest started — JFK Jr. wannabes showed off their preppy, laid-back fits, rollerblading skills and impressive heads of hair, to hundreds of googly-eyed women, hoping to be named the Big Apple’s “biggest hunk” and win a $250 cash prize.
Stamford, Connecticut-native Julian DeVincentis, 31, was the lucky stud who was crowned that title.
Cosplaying a sporty JFK Jr. in a black tank top, matching shorts, dark sunglasses and a backward hat, the 6-foot-2 Flatiron resident confidently rollerbladed around the massive crowd, flexed his muscles and flashed his pearly whites, reminding NYC women that dating a modern-day John-John isn’t as much of a pipe dream as they might’ve thought.
As the contest’s emcee, organized by the Instagram account @heyhunk_, weaved through the contestants to hear who garnered the loudest cheers from the swooning ladies, it was obvious DeVincentis had won them over.
