It all started with a silly Timothee Chalamet Lookalike contest back in 2024, and since then there have been several other attempts at celebrity lookalike competitions throughout the year.
The latest one making headlines is a Pedro Pascal lookalike contest, and what’s funny is, the winner, George Gountas, actually works on The Daily Show, and he was brought in to actually talk about his experience on air. Check this out:
What’s funny is that, people were supposed to sign up to enter the contest, but Gountas was so confident that he would win and he just walked up to the event and everyone immediately thought that he would land on top.
Though people aren’t really expecting things to blow up for Gountas after he won the contest, he is using his few seconds of fame to call out to the actual Pedro Pascal; apparently, Gountas’ wife said that she would only be okay with all the attention her husband is getting if she managed to meet the actual Pascal. We don’t know if that will eventually happen, but with the popularity of The Daily Show and Pascal currently doing press for Fantastic Four, having him meet up with Gountas and his wife would probably be a quick payday for the press if they managed to get it together.
Watch out for The Daily Show weeknights on Comedy Central. Pedro Pascal stars in Fantastic Four: First Steps which comes to cinemas on July 25.
