The Pedro Pascal lookalike contest is the gift that keeps on giving
We stopped the lookalike contests for a minute. It began when there was suddenly a poster for a Timothée Chalamet lookalike contest and it started a movement. The Glen Powell one took over Austin, Tom Holland tackled London, and more. Now, it is back for Pedro Pascal.
The lookalike contest took place in New York City and featured plenty of hopefuls. Some have become famous online for looking somewhat like Pascal. Others, like George Gountas, walked up because he thought it’d be funny and ended up taking the entire competition. Gountas, who is the lighting designer for The Daily Show, revealed what happened with Jon Stewart himself.
According to Pedro Pascal #5, his wife heard about the competition and told him he had to do it. He said he went to his neighbor who gave him part of his look, told him to get a shirt, and the rest is now internet history.
One of the funniest parts of this entire thing is that Gountas clearly only did this because his wife told him do. During their chat, he pled with Pedro Pascal to please meet his wife and it was honestly kind of cute to see how much Gountas did this just for her.
So many were shocked by Gountas’ actual similarities to The Mandalorian star. Stewart, on the other hand, did not realize how much he looks like Pascal. “I’ve never noticed that he looks like Pedro Pascal,” Stewart said. And the entire situation is just funny. Gountas’ shared that he literally walked up to the competition and people knew he’d be crowned the winner.
“I rolled up and I’m like, ‘Yo, I’m here,'” he said. “And they were like, ‘You’re going to win.'”
When you look at the competition there, it is shocking how much Gountas looks like Pedro Pascal.
Hopefully Gountas’ wife gets her dream of meeting Pedro Pascal but at least she gets to say “We have Pedro Pascal at home” whenever asked.
