Glen Powell Promises Cameo In His Next Film To Winner Of Lookalike Contest


Glen Powell promised a film cameo to the winner of his lookalike contest, held earlier today in his hometown of Austin and judged by his mother.

While Powell didn’t make an appearance in person, on account of filming Edgar Wright’s forthcoming remake of The Running Man in England, he did FaceTime into the event and send a message to organizers promising something money can’t buy: a cameo in his next movie. Per the Austin American-Statesman, the event was organized by Kate Carpenter and won by Max Braunstein, who received a cowboy hat, free Torchy’s queso for a year, a monetary prize and the aforementioned cameo. The viral phenomenon of the celebrity lookalike contest first began with an innocuous competition for Timothée Chalamet, held in New York City at the end of October, which drew hundreds of fans, resulted in the arrest of a couple doppelgängers and featured a surprise appearance from the Dune star himself.
