Glen Powell Announces Epic Prize For Lookalike Contest Winner Judged By His Own Mom

The Hitman star couldn't be on hand for his lookalike competition in Austin, Texas, on Sunday—but he did announce that the winner gets a cameo in his next film.

Glen Powell put a fun spin on a lookalike contest in Austin, Texas.

Though Powell couldn’t attend since he’s filming The Running Man in the U.K., his mother and aunt judged the event.


The winner, physician’s assistant Maxwell Braunstein, received $5, a cowboy hat, free queso for a year, and a FaceTime message from Powell.

During the call, Powell joked about assembling his lookalikes for a heist, and he announced the prize: a cameo for the winner’s parent or family member in his next movie.

“You may know that my parents make a cameo in every movie 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 movie. I am completely serious. This is a cash-value prize of $6 billion.”

People were impressed.





The potential return was worth the effort.


But in all seriousness, a cameo for oneself or family member is a great prize.

Referring to a meme that says that Powell looks a little like a capybara, people called on the South American rodent.


People who didn’t go sure missed out on a great experience.

The contest follows a recent trend of celebrity lookalike events.

Powell’s next project is The Running Man, which is slated for release in November 2025.

RFK Jr. Admits That Banning Fluoridated Water Will Cause 'More Cavities'—But He's OK With That

Health and Human Services Secretary (HHS) Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was criticized after admitting in a Fox News interview with Harris Faulkner that his proposed fluoridated water ban would likely lead people to have more cavities—but defended the move nonetheless.

While fluoride is not federally mandated in drinking water, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) had long recommended its inclusion. Fluoride helps prevent cavities by strengthening enamel, and numerous studies have shown that fluoridated water reduces tooth decay in both children and adults.

Jesse Watters Dragged After Trying To Give Mamdani A Scary Nickname That's Actually Kind Of Epic

Fox News personality Jesse Watters was widely mocked after he tried to give New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani a scary nickname in the vein of Conan the Destroyer—only for it to backfire considerably.

Watters is the latest member of the GOP to lash out at Mamdani, a democratic socialist who handily defeated former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo in New York City's Democratic mayoral primary last week.
