Glen Powell Look-Alike Contest Winner Secures Movie Cameo

The Austin event celebrated the actor's doppelgängers with prizes, humor, and a cameo opportunity for the winner's family member in Powell's next film.

  • Actor Glen Powell announced via video that the winner of his Austin-based look-alike contest would receive a unique prize: a cameo for a family member in his next movie.
  • The contest, part of a growing trend of celebrity look-alike events, was judged by Powell's mother and aunt, with dozens of participants competing for the title.
  • Maxwell Braunstein, a physician's assistant dressed as Powell's 'Top Gun: Maverick' character, won the contest and additional prizes, including a cowboy hat, $5, and a year of free queso from Torchy’s Tacos.
  • Powell humorously referred to the gathering as a 'criminal Glenterprise' and joked about organizing a heist with his look-alikes during his video message.
  • The event is part of a larger wave of celebrity look-alike contests, which have gained popularity following a similar event for Timothée Chalamet in October.
