Glen Powell meets his doppelgänger Max Braunstein on the Golden Globes red carpet in Los Angeles after the Austin lookalike contest victory.

At the 2024 Golden Globes, Glen Powell had a moment that many people dream of—meeting his very own doppelgänger! The actor, best known for his role in Top Gun: Maverick, met Max Braunstein, a lookalike from his hometown of Austin, Texas.

Braunstein won a local lookalike contest back in November with the help of none other than Powell’s mother.

The Unlikely Meeting and Emotional Moments

Powell and Braunstein had already connected over a FaceTime call after the contest, but they had the opportunity to meet in person on the Golden Globes red carpet.

The pair shared a warm hug, posed for selfies, and even had a quick chat with Powell’s mom, who joined them for the moment.

This was a surreal experience for both Braunstein and Powell, who had been following the contest’s progress since the beginning.

The Fun Contest and the Prize

Braunstein’s victory came at Austin’s Auditorium Shores, where a crowd gathered to crown him the winner.

As part of his prize, he received a cowboy hat, $5, and a year’s worth of free queso from Torchy’s, a local favorite.

Braunstein, who works as a physician’s assistant in Austin, was thrilled with his win. In fact, he had even predicted it, mentioning to his friends that he would take home the title.

The Lookalike Network Expands

Interestingly, Braunstein wasn’t the only lookalike to grace the Golden Globes red carpet.

Miles Mitchell, who won a Timothée Chalamet lookalike contest in New York City, joined Braunstein at the event.

Mitchell also got the chance to meet Chalamet in person, just as Braunstein had met Powell.

The two lookalikes shared their excitement, posing together with signs that read, “I won a lookalike contest and now I’m at the Golden Globes.”

The Special Connection With Celebrities

Both Powell and Chalamet are nominated for Golden Globe awards, adding another layer of excitement to the night.

Powell is up for Best Actor in a Musical or Comedy for his role in Hit Man, while Chalamet is nominated for Best Actor in a Drama for his portrayal of Bob Dylan in A Complete Unknown.

The two stars’ connection with their lookalikes was a fun and heartwarming moment in the midst of the glamorous Golden Globes ceremony.

As the night continued, Powell and Braunstein’s unique encounter was just one of the many memorable moments from the event.

Braunstein’s story is a perfect example of how a bit of fun and a local contest can lead to unforgettable experiences.
