Lookalike contests were all the rage last year, crowning lookalikes for stars like Zayn Malik, Timothée Chalamet and more. As it turns out, lookalike contests are still taking place today, with one man from New York winning a contest for looking like actor Pedro Pascal.

According to reports, the Pedro Pascal lookalike contest happened at a restaurant in Manhattan, New York, on Father’s Day (15th June 2025, Sunday). While 30 hopefuls had entered, the winner was George Gountas from Brooklyn, a.k.a Pedro #5. Not only was the 42-year-old dad crowned as Pedro Pascal’s lookalike, he also walked away with US$50 (approximately RM212) and a year’s worth of free burritos from the restaurant.

Soon after winning the lookalike contest, George quickly went viral on social media – all because he actually resembled the “The Last Of Us” actor. If you’re familiar with these lookalike contests, the winners rarely look like the stars they’re supposed to resemble, prompting heavy criticism. Thankfully for George, many said his win was well-deserved. Even the original Pedro Pascal seemed to give his approval.

Pedro shared his reaction to George’s win in an Instagram post about the lookalike contest. While the 50-year-old didn’t directly say anything, he did leave a few emojis, including five moustachioed men, a teary-eyed smiley face and a heart. Fans were excited to see Pedro’s comment about his lookalike, with some urging him to meet some of the contestants. Others even jokingly asked if he was secretly George.

Interestingly, George has been compared to the Chilean-American actor for quite some time. His wife, Jenny, said people had begun noticing the resemblance after Pedro appeared on “Game On Thrones”. George even said he looked more like the actor than his brother. As for joining the contest, the 42-year-old said he knew about it from a stage manager at “The Daily Show”, where he works as a lighting designer.

Now, all that’s left is for Pedro and George to meet in person so we can properly see the resemblance. In the meantime, check out videos from the contest below:
