Carlos Yulo lookalike wins It's Showtime Kalokalike

Andres Santos, a lookalike of Filipino gymnast Carlos Yulo, was declared the winner in the premiere episode of "It's Showtime's" "Kalokalike Face 4".

Santos, from Marikina City, impressed judges with his resemblance to Yulo, showcasing gymnastics poses, a split, and a dance performance.

He revealed that his resemblance to Yulo was first noticed by friends and classmates in 2020 and earned three "Kalokalike" stars from the judges.

Santos bested two other contestants: an impersonator of Yulo's girlfriend, Chloe San Jose, and an impersonator of "Black Rider" star Ruru Madrid.

Following his win, Santos met with the actual Carlos Yulo and his girlfriend, Chloe San Jose, backstage at the noontime show.

Carlos Yulo recently made history at the 2024 Paris Olympics, winning two gold medals in gymnastics for floor exercise and vault, becoming the country's second-ever Olympic gold medalist.
