Script Supervisor for Anora - this year’s five-time Oscar-winning movie - will be filming the event as part of a special Brand Story documentary for Avenue Men.

"I was fortunate to meet so many YouTubers and content creators from this event, and I kind of really got inspired by a lot of them because they were telling me about their stories and how they became content creators and how cool of an industry it all is," he explains, noting that contest organizer Po has given him advice on how to navigate the space.

Since winning, Mitchell's heard from several brands about possibly working together, including "Shake Shack, Google and skin care brands like L'Oreal, GNC, NYX Cosmetics," he says, adding, "I did modeling for Avenue Man Hair Products."

Mitchell, 21, became a face of Avenue Man hair products after meeting its owner, Manhattan men’s hair guru Sergio Slavnov, at the contest; he got sideline passes to a New York Jets game alongside several of his competitors; he was a guest on “The Drew Barrymore Show.”

For Sergio Slavnov, a Hell’s Kitchen men’s hairstylist and the founder and owner of Avenue Man Hair Products, “every fifth customer” comes in asking for a Chalamet. It’s a great choice for guys with big foreheads, he tells customers. And if they lack the requisite natural texture, Slavnov sends them to Chinatown, he said with a laugh, “to get a perm.” (Call me by your mane!)

Saturday Night Live paid homage to last year's viral Timothée Chalametlookalike contest while promoting the Oscar nominee's upcoming stint on the show as both host and musical guest.He had to call out of work as a security guard and find a way to fund an expensive last-minute plane ticket. Dueve models for hair care company Avenue Man, and fortunately the company was totally behind the plan to get him to Manhattan. They flew him out on the second-to-last seat available on a flight that would get him there on time.

The journey almost went off without a hitch, but then Dueve got past his wardrobe fitting for the promo. As an additional perk, the Avenue Manteam styled his natural hair perfectly for his big on-camera debut, "and then they ended up putting a wig on me anyway," adds Dueve, though he doesn't try to argue with Chalamet's creative vision.
