If Love Island spoilers aren’t your thing, this post isn’t for you.
For everyone else (we suspect that’s nearly all of you, but no judgement), the dating show recently wrapped up its eighth season with Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu and Davide Sanclimenti coming out on top.
As is tradition, contestants capped off the season by reuniting with their families for the “Meet the Parents” episode. And while Cülcüloğlu may have won the show, her brother stole the spotlight.
Fans immediately dubbed Arda Cülcüloğlu the “Turkish Timothée Chalamet” after noticing his resemblance to the actor, and just like that, a star was born:
How about we take this to the next level?

Anyone else getting the Timothée Chalamet vibe from Ekin-Su's brother, Arda?— ~?Debbie Lee?~ (@PinkerbeIl) August 1, 2022
Or at least until Twitter moves on to the next thing in approximately seven seconds.

In the above screen-grab, Arda’s Instagram account shows 16.6K followers. As of this post, he now has 33K.
We’re guessing some of these folks are among the new batch, but they may want to slow their roll considering Arda is 17:

Similar, but I want to know if he’s made love to a peach.

If Chalamet had a bigger dikk, this is what he’d look like.

Size queen.

Oh, please. The only resemblance at all is the messy haircut. Seriously, they look nothing alike otherwise and don’t share any physical features, except maybe that they both have two eyes, a nose and a mouth. Whatever.

Did you really need to announce that Ekin-Su won?? I was waiting to binge the last couple episodes and now boom ruined. I just wanted to see this Turkish Timothee and boom show ruined! You don’t need to fluff your articles with spoilers.

He’s actually more beautiful than Timothee.

I hope he is nicer than Timothee who is by reputation a real jerk.

If you were famously talented, people would be saying that about you. Why monger rumors that divide and demean?
