Glen Powell's wild lookalike contest giveaway leaves fans stunned

Glen Thomas Powell Jr., who is widely recognised as Glen Powell, recently gave one lucky fan a special opportunity.

Before the lookalike contest in Austin, Texas, on Sunday, November 24, Powell shared a video on X (formerly Twitter).

In the video, he said the contest winner would get to "place any chosen family member in the actor’s next movie."

According to Austin American-Statesman, hundreds of people gathered at Auditorium Shores in Town Lake Park, and Powell’s mother and aunt were also there to assist him in choosing the winner.

The 36-year-old actor filmed the video himself because he couldn’t attend the event due to filming commitments.

The entries included people dressed like Powell from his roles in Hit Man and Twisters, as well as fun choices like Torchy’s Tacos’ red devil mascot and a dog that looked like Powell’s rescue dog named Brisket.

In the video, Powell can be heard saying, “Welcome to the Justin Hartley lookalike contest. In all seriousness, I’ve assembled you here today at Auditorium Shores for an important mission. I want to pull off a heist. We don’t need masks because we all have the same face; it’s the perfect crime. They can’t get all of us because we are one. A criminal Glen-terprise.”

Then Powell went on to unveil the gift he gave to the event’s winner, revealing, “Look, I know there is some cash and a hat at stake here, but I just want to say that the winner of today’s contest gets a personal prize from me.”

“Now you may know that my parents make a cameo in every movie I make, but today, the winner of the Glen Powell lookalike contest wins their parents, or any family member of their choice, a cameo in my next movie. I am completely serious,” the Twister actor shared.

Moving forward, Powell jokingly compared his generous prize to "a cash-value prize of six billion dollars" before telling participants to enjoy his "favorite city in the world."

“Keep Austin weird, hook ‘em horns, and see you round. Every time I look in the mirror,” he concluded by joking.

Later, the winner, who looked most like Powell, received a cowboy hat, free Torchy’s queso for one year, and a cash prize.

It is significant to mention that Max Braunstein won the contest and had a video chat with Powell after the ceremony.
