Glen Powell Look-Alike Contest Brings Excitement to Austin
What happens when a city combines its love for celebrities with its quirky spirit? Austin provided the answer this past Sunday with a Glen Powell look-alike contest at Auditorium Shores. Hundreds of fans and curious onlookers gathered to celebrate the local Hollywood heartthrob in a uniquely Austin way. The event wasn’t just about crowning the best doppelgänger; it was a lighthearted tribute to Powell’s charm and deep connection to his hometown.
The competition attracted a wide range of participants, each eager to channel their inner Glen Powell. From strikingly similar facial features to imaginative costumes, the contestants entertained the audience as they vied for the top spot. Ultimately, Maxwell Braunstein, a physician’s assistant from Austin, claimed victory. “My face hasn’t hurt like this since I was ten at Disney World,” Braunstein joked, reflecting on the joy and laughter of the event.

The prizes? A fun mix of Austin-style humor and celebrity flair. Braunstein walked away with $5, a cowboy hat, a year’s supply of free queso from Torchy’s Tacos, and perhaps the most heartwarming accolade—a thumbs up from Glen Powell’s mom, who judged the competition in person. Powell himself made a virtual appearance via video to offer an unexpected surprise: the winner’s family member of choice will have a cameo in his next movie. Powell’s message was filled with wit and gratitude, embodying his playful persona.
“I love Austin and everything this city represents,” Powell said in his video. “Keep Austin weird, and keep reminding me how much we look alike every time I look in the mirror!” While Powell couldn’t attend the event due to filming commitments in the UK, his enthusiastic support underscored his affection for the city.
The contest captured the spirit of Austin—creative, community-focused, and undeniably fun. With hundreds in attendance and a palpable sense of camaraderie, it was a day to remember. And as Powell continues to make waves in Hollywood, his hometown is here to remind him: they’ve got his back and maybe even his double!
