The Glen Powell look-alike competition winner received a special gift from the actor.
On Sunday, hundreds gathered at Auditorium Shores in Austin, Texas, the hometown of the “Anyone But You” actor, to find a look-alike for Powell.
During the quest to find Powell 2.0, the actor called in to share that the winner would receive a once-in-a-lifetime gift from him.
“Welcome to the Justin Hartley look-alike contest,” he joked in the video, while taking a break from filming his upcoming movie, “Running Man.”
“In all seriousness, I have assembled you here today for an important mission. I want to pull off a heist, and 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 Glenterprise,” Powell, 36, added.
The “Twisters” star, whose parents have made cameos in every one of his movies, said the winner of the look-alike contest “wins their parents, or any family member of their choice, a cameo in my next movie.”
He added, “I am completely serious. This is a cash-value prize of $6 billion.”
Powell concluded his videos by asking the contestants to “take a pic together” for him.
“Enjoy my favorite city in the world. Keep Austin weird, kook’em horns and see you ’round … every time I look in the mirror,” he quipped.
Though quite a few competitors showed up for the event, contestant No. 4, Maxwell Braunstein, took home the coveted title of being Powell’s look-alike.
In addition to Powell’s prize, Braunstein, a local physician’s assistant, took home $5, a cowboy hat, free queso from Torchy’s for a year and a thumbs up from Glen’s mom, Cyndy Powell, who was in the crowd on FaceTime with her famous son, per Fox 7.
“My face hasn’t hurt like this since I was ten and at Disney World,” Braunstein told the outlet.
“I did tell people I was going to win. I did mention that to my friends that sent it to me.”
Several look-alike competitions or other stars have taken place across the country.
In October, Timothée Chalamet caused a frenzy when he showed up to his own look-alike competition in Washington Square Park in New York.
Similar contests have also been held for Jeremy Allen White and Zayn Malik.
