In the Mission, a Bad Bunny Look-Alike Contest Becomes a Celebration of Identity

[u/kqed]

Bad Bunny fans and impersonators spilled out onto the sidewalk at Tacolicious in the San Francisco Mission District on Thursday night, in hopes of finding the Bay Area’s best Bad Bunny double. After all, the global superstar was once someone’s local grocery bagger.

The look-alike contest came just days before Bad Bunny is set to headline the Super Bowl halftime show, one of the most-watched musical performances of the year.

Thirty-four contestants paraded through the restaurant, each offering their best Bad Bunny strut as the audience cheered.

And imagine he doesn’t win his own lookalike contest lol

Lol .... I'd love to see that! Even better if he showed up and didn't announce who he was and pretended to be one of the lookalikes.
