“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,” the star revealed.
In case you’ve missed it, Glen is one of many celebrities who have recently been the subject of a number of viral lookalike competitions across the country.

Over the weekend, hundreds were in attendance at Auditorium Shores in Glen’s beloved hometown of Austin, Texas to witness a league of Glens compete for the winning spot – a title that was bestowed by none other than Glen’s mom herself.

Eventually, the winner was selected by the actor’s mom and aunt, who were both in attendance. The number one spot went to the crowd favourite: a contestant dressed as Glen’s character Hangman from his breakout feature Top Gun: Maverick.

And while Glen couldn’t attend as he’s currently filming Edgar Wright’s remake of The Running Man overseas, he made sure not to neglect the event and sent the organisers a video message, which they played for the crowd.

Addressing the Glens, the Anyone But You star joked that he had “an important mission” for the contestants. “I wanna pull off a heist. 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 Glenterprise,” he said.

“Also, I know it’s November, but if no one is shirtless for no reason then this whole thing is a sham and obviously nobody is committed to the bit,” Glen declared.
And after referencing his own parents’ frequent cameos in his movies, Glen finally announced the competition’s grand prize — a cameo in the next Glen Powell movie.

“I am completely serious. This is a cash-value prize of $6 billion,” he stated.

Whether the prize will go to the winner or to the winner’s parents remains up for debate – either way, the internet was abuzz. One user said, “every new information we get on glen powell is like wow. that’s the greatest guy ever.” Another user said, “everything I’ve learned about glen powell continues to add to a passionate love for him.”
“Take a pic together for me, enjoy my favourite city in the world. Keep Austin weird, hook ‘em Horns, and see you round… every time I look in the mirror,” Glen said.
