Glen Powell shared a funny clip announcing a huge prize for the winner of his look-alike contest in Austin, Tex.
Glen Powell Hilariously Gifts Winner of His Look-Alike Contest a Cameo in One of His Upcoming Movies: Watch
Glen Powell is getting a kick out of the celebrity look-alike contest trend.
The Hollywood hunk, 36, took to social media on Monday, November 25, to send a message to the winner of his version of the viral gathering that was held in Austin, Texas, the day before.
"In all seriousness, I've assembled you here today at Auditorium Shores for an important mission — I want to pull off a heist," he sarcastically began the clip about the event, which was judged by his mom, Cyndy. "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 Glen-terprise."
Powell — who is from the city where the contest was held — then revealed he would be giving the ultimate reward to the person who came out victorious. "I know there is some cash and a hat at stake here, but I just wanted to say that the winner of today's contest gets a personal prize from me. Now, you may know that my parents make a cameo in every movie I make, but today, the winner of the Glen Powell look-alike contest wins their parents or any family member of their choice a cameo in my next movie," the Anyone but You actor said.
Glen Powell took to social media to share a message for the winner of his look-alike contest.
"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," he concluded the sweet message.
While Powell certainly sweetened the pot, the winner, Maxwell Braunstein, also took home $5, a cowboy hat and free queso from the Tex-Mex restaurant Torchy's Tacos for one year.
Maxwell Braunstein won the Glen Powell look-alike contest.
"My face hasn't hurt like this since I was ten and at Disney World," the physician's assistant told local affiliate Fox 7 after coming out on top. "I did tell people I was going to win. I did mention that to my friends that sent it to me. Blessed that your mother thinks I'm anything like ya!"
The Twisters star may get a kick of his fame, but Powell isn't taking any of his success for granted. "Even at the darkest moments in that town, when I really didn’t have anything happening, you sort of have to lie to yourself, at least a little bit, and act like this is that chapter of the story where things just aren’t going right," he said in a recent interview about his years struggling to find work in Los Angeles, Calif.
Glen Powell is extremely grateful for his Hollywood success.
"You have to believe in the Hollywood legends of those people that you admire, the people that you’re chasing, that had those long stretches of famine as well,” he explained. “I’m very grateful about getting a chance to understand a lot about writing. I had to occupy different types of jobs that allowed me to understand how to finance things, and produce things. I started understanding a facet of this business that’s really serving me right now.”
Vanity Fair conducted the interview with Powell.
