Southport Resident Wins JFK Jr. Lookalike Contest

FAIRFIELD, CT — Have you ever been told that you look like someone famous?

Southport resident Andrew Ginsburg has, and he recently won a contest to prove it.

Ginsburg, a married father of three, looks like John F. Kennedy Jr., son of the 35th President, and the subject of the buzzy FX show "Love Story."

"Yes, people have told me I looked like him since I was 22," Ginsburg told Patch. "I lived in NYC for 16 years and would get it all the time."

Last weekend, Ginsburg entered a JFK Jr. lookalike contest at The Parkgate on West 4th Street in New York City and won. Click here for a short TikTok clip.

The event was sponsored Express and Bumble, and Ginsburg got a little familial encouragement to enter.

"My sister sent me a link to the event and said, 'You have to do this,'" Ginsburg said. "She told me that people tell her all the time that I look like him, even from just a picture. I did the contest because I thought it would be fun."

For winning, Ginsburg, a children's author, comic and personal trainer, received a Visa and Express gift cards "and one of those Kangol hats JFK Jr. used to wear."

And of course, a new legion of fans who tell him, "OMG! You look just like JFK Jr.!"
