An American content model named Eddie Veyro has drawn attention on the platform OnlyFans due to his resemblance to Timothée Chalamet. Eddie, described as Chalamet’s “double,” offers paid, provocative content on the platform. Through videos and social media posts that center on the visual likeness to the Hollywood star, the creator has built a substantial reach and a growing subscriber base — he says he picked up around 20,000 followers along the way and now claims 100,000 subscribers, each paying $9.99 a month for access. There’s also an annual subscription option for roughly $84.
The Eddie phenomenon fits into a familiar pattern in online culture, where lookalikes of famous figures deliberately monetize their resemblance on adult platforms like OnlyFans. The term “double” or “lookalike” is perhaps a bit of a stretch, as several gay blogs have observed. A UK queer news site ran a headline like: “Gay-onlyFans star goes viral because he looks strikingly like Timothée Chalamet.”
Eddie leans into the likeness by posting short videos on platforms like TikTok and Instagram, where he imitates the actor’s appearance and signature poses. His strategy is straightforward: if even a small fraction of the newly attracted fans ends up subscribing to his paid OnlyFans profile, the effort has paid off.
“I just wanted to earn more money by doing a different job.”
In his bio on OnlyFans, Eddie writes, “The idea of a Timothée-lookalike brought you here. What happens next is all Eddie V.” In an interview with the British tabloid Daily Mail, he said, “I had no idea that this would grow this fast. I just wanted to earn more money through a different line of work. After a year I thought, ‘Oh my God, this is really huge, so I have to take it more seriously.’ It’s now almost my full-time job.”
The Daily Mail also cited a source close to Chalamet, noting that the Hollywood star is aware of his “doppelgänger” and finds it uncomfortable to be mistaken for him. “His concern isn’t Eddie’s sexuality or his audience. It’s simply the possibility that people may wrongly connect him with content that he did not create or authorize,” the insider said.
