The streets of London, New York, Dublin and Toronto have been filled in recent weeks with thousands of people hoping to try to win celebrity lookalike competitions.

The phenomenon began last month, when Timothée Chalamet lookalikes flocked to New York for a chance to win $50 for their resemblance to the Dune star.

Since then, we have seen a Paul Mescal competition in Dublin, a Harry Styles competition in London and even a Dev Patel competition in San Francisco.

Amid all this madness, you might be wondering: Could I ever win a celebrity lookalike contest?

Fortunately, there is help available to answer this question, in the form of an app called Star by Face.

The app uses a combination of artificial intelligence (AI) and facial recognition technology, and is described by its developer as “the ultimate celebrity lookalike finder app.”

“We compare your face to thousands of famous faces and determine your closest celebrity matches,” he explains.

So, are you a Davina McCall lookalike, or a David Beckham lookalike? Here’s how to use the AI ​​tool to find out.

MailOnline reporter Dave Johnson found it to be a close match for Tim Curry, Danny McBride, Jackie Gleason and Blake Shelton.

Once you’ve downloaded Star by Face, open the app and you’ll be prompted to either take a photo or choose one from your photo gallery.

Alternatively, if you don’t feel brave enough to analyze your own face yet, you can choose a face from the app’s gallery.

Once you’ve made your selection, the first thing the app will do is detect the face in the photo and create a “facial pattern”.

“It can locate key features of faces, including eyebrows, eyes, nose, mouth and position,” explains Star by Face.

Then the app will use a combination of AI and facial recognition to compare the components of your face to those of thousands of celebrities.

“The neural network compares the person with celebrity faces and suggests the most similar ones,” Star by Face added.

In just a few seconds, you’ll see your celebrity lookalike’s results.

First, you will see celebrities of the same gender as you, who the app thinks you look like.
