The winner of the Lookalike competition gets parents a Cameo in the next movie

Glen Powell convened his own lookalike contest in Austin, Texas on Sunday to give the winner a very special prize: a cameo in his next film.

But no, not for the winner himself — since Powell’s parents often appear in his films, the “Twisters” and “Top Gun: Maverick” actor offered the option of the lookalike’s “parents or any family member of your choice.”

Powell was not in attendance at the Austin competition as he is currently filming Edgar Wright’s “The Running Man” remake in the UK, but his mother and aunt helped judge the competition, according to Fox 7 Austinwhich ended up crowning medical assistant Maxwell Braunstein as the best lookalike.

Braunstein received $5, a cowboy hat, free queso from Torchy’s Tacos for a year and a special message from Powell himself, who was on FaceTime with his mother during the event.

“Welcome to the Justin Hartley lookalike contest,” Powell joked in the video while still in his “Running Man” makeup (via PopCrave). “In all seriousness, I have gathered you here today for an important mission. I want to do a heist and we don’t need masks because we all have the same face. It’s the perfect crime! They can’t get us all because we are one: a criminal Glenterprise.”

Powell went on to reveal that he had his own special prize to offer the winner.

“You may know that my parents make a cameo in every film 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 film ,” he said. “I am completely serious. This is a $6 billion prize money.”

In addition to “The Running Man,” which is currently in production for a November 2025 release, Powell is next in “Huntington,” a dark comedy with Margaret Qualley and Ed Harris.

The Powell lookalike contest is just the latest in a series of similar events taking place around the world, including recent Jeremy Allen White contests in New York and Chicago and a Harry Styles-themed gathering in London earlier this month. It all started in late October, when a Timothée Chalamet lookalike contest was held in New York City and crashed by the actor, causing a frenzy on social media and dozens of copycat gatherings.
