Fans of Pedro Pascal were taken aback when George Gountas, the victor of a recent doppelganger competition, appealed emotionally on national television. The Pedro Pascal doppelganger contest, which took place at a New York restaurant on Father’s Day, named Gountas, a modest Brooklyn father who bears a striking resemblance to the star of The Last of Us. What began as a casual Father’s Day outing transformed into a viral event, with an unexpected twist in the narrative provided by his wife.
Pedro Pascal lookalike contest winner says his wife wants to meet the actor
On The Daily Show, I had the privilege of discussing my unexpected rise to fame. I talked about how my remarkable partner, Jenny Gania, responded to this shift in our lives.
The woman who resembles Pedro Pascal expressed that she’s comfortable with all the attention, provided there’s one stipulation: “She’s okay with everyone focusing on her, as long as I get a chance to meet Pedro Pascal,” Gountas shared. Addressing the actual Pascal, he wrote, “Hi Pedro, this is Pedro #5 from New York. It would be an incredible gift if you could meet my wife, Jenny. It would truly mean the world to her. Let’s make this happen.
As a gaming enthusiast, I couldn’t help but be smitten by your charisma and honesty. Nudging you, I joked with Gountas, “I honestly can’t imagine Pedro #1 refusing an offer from Pedro #5!
Gountas informed Stewart that he hadn’t pre-registered for the Pedro Pascal lookalike competition. He casually showed up and said, “I’m here,” to which they replied, “You’re going to win.” Turns out, they were correct. Out of 30 participants, he walked away with the grand prize: $50 and a year’s worth of burritos. Gountas, who is a lighting designer for The Daily Show, confessed that the ensuing attention has been “overwhelming”.
Jenny Gania, Gountas’ spouse, reminisced about persuading him to join. She shared with the New York Post that when Game of Thrones premiered, people began pointing out the resemblance. “Then some children also started noticing it, so when we saw this [contest], I thought, ‘It’s Father’s Day. You should go. It will be your special Father’s Day treat,'” she explained. Although Gountas doesn’t use social media, he has since become a well-known figure on the internet.
