Glen Powell offered the winner of his lookalike contest something that would have been unwinnable otherwise.
The competition was held in the Top Gun: Maverick star’s hometown of Austin, Texas.
Hundreds of fans gathered at Auditorium Shores in Town Lake Park on Sunday for a Glen Powell lookalike contest, as reported by Fox 7 Austin.
Among the crowd were Powell’s mother and aunt, who helped choose the winner from a variety of contestants.
The entries included Powell-inspired looks from his roles in films like Hit Man and Twisters, as well as quirky choices like Torchy’s Tacos’ red devil mascot and even a dog resembling Powell’s rescue pup, Brisket.
Although Powell couldn’t attend in person due to filming Edgar Wright’s The Running Man remake in England, he joined the fun virtually.
Through a FaceTime message, he added humour to the event and offered an exclusive prize: a cameo in his next movie.
In the playful video, Powell joked, “This is actually a contest for Justin Hartley lookalikes,” before suggesting that the attendees were plotting 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,” he quipped, adding, “Also, if no one is shirtless for no reason, then this whole thing is a sham.”
Powell then revealed the unique reward for the winner: “My parents make a cameo in every movie I make, but today, the winner gets to choose any family member of their choice to have a cameo in my next movie. I am completely serious. This is a cash-value prize of $6 billion.”
He wrapped up his message by thanking fans and giving a shoutout to his hometown.
“Take a pic together for me, enjoy my favorite city in the world, keep Austin weird, hook ’em Horns, and see ya around — every time I look in the mirror.”
