Golden Globes 2025: the winners of the lookalike competitions of Timothée Chalamet and Glen Powell, unexpected stars of the red carpet

We weren’t expecting them on the red carpet and yet, it was they who launched the festivities. Among the first (very) notable arrivals of guests of the 82^e Golden Globes ceremony, Miles Mitchell21 years old, and Max Braunstein33, caused a sensation. Their names mean nothing to you? Their faces, on the other hand, look familiar to you? Everything is explained: they are known to be lookalikes of stars. The first, Miles Mitchell, won the Timothée Chalamet lookalike competition, organized on October 27, 2024 in New York, and the second that of Glen Powell lookalikes. Both posed on the red carpet with a sign reading: “I won a lookalike contest and now I’m at the Golden Globes.” »

So imagine Washington Square Park being stormed by young men with fine features, angular faces, light eyes and disheveled hair, convinced that they resemble the most prominent actor in Hollywood. The lucky one, Miles Mitchell, was greeted by Timothée Chalamet himself, since the star was invited to the lookalike competition… without winning, hidden under a cap until the election of the lucky one. . A shame. Miles Mitchell left the event with a huge gold trophy, a check for $50 and a meeting with the hero of Dune. A few weeks later, he even received a box of goodies from the film A Complete Unknownin French), the Bob Dylan biopic in which Timothée Chalamet plays the title role – and for which he is in competition this evening.

From a lookalike contest to the Golden Globes ceremony

After this first event, the madness of lookalike contests set the communities of pop culture fans ablaze: Harry Styles, Jeremy Allen White, Zayn Malik… Everyone was entitled to their “look alike contest”. Including Glen Powell, headliner of Everything except you et Twisters. Max Braunstein was voted the most convincing lookalike during the competition held on November 24 in Austin, Texas, the actor’s hometown. Unlike Timothée Chalamet, Glen Powell was unable to make the trip but he followed the competition live via FaceTime. According to local media, his mother and aunt helped voters elect his best double. Dubbed by the Powells, Max Braunstein was even promised by his idol an appearance for the member of his family of his choice, in his next film.
