JTA — Since he was 22, Andrew Ginsburg has been inundated with comments that he resembles the late John F. Kennedy Jr.

Now 46, he says those comparisons have reached a new high, fueled by the spotlight on JFK Jr. and his wife, Carolyn Bessette Kennedy, in the popular new FX series “Love Story.”

The show, which chronicles the whirlwind romance of the couple and the lead-up to their tragic death in a plane crash on July 16, 1999, has resulted in a wave of public fascination and a sprouting of look-alike competitions in cities across the country.

The volley of comments, which Ginsburg has fielded from friends and clients of his personal training business in recent weeks, didn’t amount to much for the Southport, Connecticut, resident and married father of three children, ages 8, 6 and 4.

Yes, their appearance, voices and fitness regimens are similar. But there was a crucial difference.

“He was Catholic. I’m Jewish. I married a Jew. He married a goy,” Ginsburg joked, using the Yiddish word for non-Jew.

But Ginsburg found the comparisons impossible to ignore after his sister sent him a link to a JFK Jr. look-alike competition in New York City with a message: “You have got to do this.”

Ginsburg said that he initially dismissed the idea, lamenting that he was “too old for stuff like this” and had no desire to “go into the city on a Sunday night to compete against Gen Z and millennials.”

Yet after some deliberation, Ginsburg decided he “might as well,” given his longtime history of comparisons with the late son of President John F. Kennedy.
