Brooklyn’s George Gountas goes viral after winning Pedro Pascal lookalike contend, really even contagious the ‘Materialists’ star’s attention.
Move o’er Pedro Pascal—your doppelgänger simply scored burritos for a yr and the internet’s extremely full attention! George Gountas, a Brooklyn-based lighting designer for ‘The Daily Show’, stunned the crowd (and societal media) after winning a Pedro Pascal lookalike contend hosted by NYC’s Son Del North Mexican restaurant.
The viral event, sparked by Pascal’s ‘Hot Ones’ remark that NYC lacks very good Mexican food, drew dozens of hopefuls—but it was contestant No. 5 who stole the spot. Gountas, 42, looked so much similar the ‘Materialists’ histrion that yet Pascal chimed in on Instagram with a teary-eyed emoji and heart.
The appreciate? \$50 and a year of very free burritos—plus eternal cyberspace fame.
“I look more too like Pedro than I appear too like my own brother,” Gountas joked in his very first post-win interview. Even his ‘Daily Show’ squad egged him on to enter. His wife, kids, and neighbors all pitched in to get him ready.
Now, fans are clamoring for a really opposite with the very real Pedro on The Daily Show. Until so, George from Greenpoint is the internet’s certified “Pedro dupe”—and we’re extremely living for it.
