Glen Powell promises appearance worth ‘6 billion dollars’ to his lookalike

Mountains and wonders promised to the winner. After Timothée Chalamet et Jeremy Allen White, Glen Powell was treated to her own lookalike contest in Austin, Texas, her hometown. The event brought together around a hundred participants according to local media Fox 7. If the actor was unable to make the trip, his mother and aunt came to help select the big winner. This is how a medical assistant named Maxwell Braunstein won the competition. To congratulate him, Powell released a video promising him a short appearance in his next film.

“The winner of today’s competition will receive a personal prize from me. You may know that my parents make an appearance in every one of my films, but today the winner of the competition will be offered a cameo in my next film,” said Glen Powell in a video sent to the organizers. “It is valid for his parents or any other member of his family of his choice. This is a prize worth $6 billion,” the actor added.

For several months, actor lookalike competitions have been increasing in the United States. At the end of October, a similar event was held in Washington Square Park, in New York, in tribute to Timothée Chalamet. The actor created a surprise by mingling with the crowd, and the winner, dressed in Willy Wonka’s purple cape, won an imposing trophy, as well as a check for 50 dollars (around 47 euros).

In mid-November, another lookalike contest was held in Chicago in honor of Jeremy Allen White. Likewise, the winner won $50 as well as a pack of cigarettes, a nod to the character of Carmen Berzatto, played by the actor in the series The Bearknown for his bad smoking habit. Yet another lookalike competition was held for Zayn Malikformer member of One Direction, on November 17. And with the prize being free tattoos.
