'I'm Excited To Not Have To Read A Headline For A While, You Know?' Glen Powell Gets Real About Whirlwind Year With Anyone But You And Twisters Coming Out

Glen Powell’s career trajectory this year has been amazing. To think when he was first starting out in Hollywood, his wish was to be like Denzel Washington . Now after having three big movies under his belt, the rising star talks about the whirlwind year he’s had as well as being excited about not reading a headline for a while.
It’s hard to believe that when Texas native Glen Powell first joined The Expendables 3 ten years ago with big-name action film stars, he was considered a newcomer. Now he’s one of the most bankable young actors out there. The Sex Ed actor told Sharp Magazine he couldn’t believe the sudden shift of his acting career and how grateful he was for where he is now:
It’s an interesting irony to say he feels the most like himself when he’s portraying other people. Then again, it can also make sense as acting is a great way to show off pieces of your personality in different characters. Glen Powell may have leaned “into the douchebaggery” playing Hangman in Top Gun: Maverick , but we saw his natural charm stand out the most in that role. We also saw his true love of aviation shine again in The Blue Angels documentary documenting the journey of becoming a Blue Angel. Movies that followed after like Anyone But You, Twisters, and Hit Man also showed off the actor’s ability to make his characters lovable as well as his sense of humor coming through. It’s no wonder he stuck with his craft for so long.
I don’t blame Glen Powell for wanting a break from reading headlines of himself. While fame is a great way to get your name out there to be considered for big roles, there are also consequences when the media delves into your personal life. Headlines were swarming Powell and Anyone But You co-star Sydney Sweeney with romance rumors while they were dating other people . Reports also came out that Powell and Gigi Paris broke up while these dating rumors were occurring.
But not all headlines about the Devotion actor were negative like when he adopted a cute pupper named Brisket to get him through his breakup. The dog also went storm-chasing with the Twisters cast and acted as the film’s cute mascot on set. As it’ll be a while until Glen Powell has to do another promotional tour, I’m sure it’ll be nice for him to take a break from being a headline until then.
Glen Powell is truly experiencing the life of an A-list actor thanks to Anyone But You, Hit Man , and Twisters. However, his career uplift is causing his personal life to make headlines that are attracting fans and social media. But as Powell’s career keeps going nowhere but up, I’m sure for many years to come that he’ll be able to handle anything life throws at him. Take a look at our 2024 movie releases so you’re caught up on Powell’s latest movies.
