The fascination surrounding the alleged killer of United Healthcare’s CEO, Luigi Mangione, has given rise to a new curious story. It involves a journalist who managed to secure a date with a model because she thought he resembled the controversial 26-year-old man, currently incarcerated in a New Jersey prison.

Exclusively from the New York Post, Shane Galvin recounted the story of how he ended up on a date in Battery Park in New York City with a woman who, according to the journalist himself, was "out of his league."

This is how the story goes of the NY Post journalist who got a date for resembling Luigi Mangione.
According to Galvin's account, it all started on Instagram. The journalist posted a ‘story’ after receiving several comments, in person, about his resemblance to the infamous alleged killer.
"Frankly, I don't see it. There must be a dozen guys I grew up with in Staten Island who are closer to resembling the suspect," wrote Galvin in his article for the NY Post.
In the post, he wrote: "I don't resemble the CEO's killer except for being Italian. But thanks for letting me know, a lot of people."
Shortly after, some women and also some men made comments about it, but it was a model with whom Galvin had already chatted that caught his attention. "It's the eyebrows," this model with more than 20 thousand followers had written to him.
The journalist then mentioned how the NY Post had wanted to write a piece about Galvin's resemblance to Mangione and how he was "popular with women," to which the model offered to be part of the social experiment.
The sympathy for Mangione has begun to seriously concern authorities in the United States. According to the NORC survey at the University of Chicago in December 2024, around 7 out of 10 adults between the ages of 18 and 30 say that health insurance denials by insurance companies, or benefits obtained by health insurance companies also have at least "some moderate" or "great" responsibility for Thompson's death, leading the public to feel less empathy for the CEO and, instead, see Mangione as a kind of vigilante.
