Can you believe it? The one and only Hollywood heartthrob, Glen Powell, was recently spotted on the set of his new TV series looking completely unrecognizable! The A-list actor, who is 35 years old, was rocking a prosthetic nose and a blonde wig, which made him look worlds away from his usual appearance. It's hard to believe it's actually him!
Glen was filming for his new Hulu comedy series, Chad Powers, in Atlanta. In the pictures, he can be seen with tousled long hair and a fringe covering his face, along with a moustache to complete the transformation. He was also showing off his muscles in a tight-fitting blue sports shirt and bright yellow shorts, with the number "200" printed across the front. Talk about a new look for Glen!
This new series, which started filming earlier this month, is based on an Eli Manning sketch and follows the story of a quarterback who gets kicked off his college team due to bad behavior. Glen, who serves as co-creator and executive producer alongside Michael Waldron, plays the character of Chad Powers, who disguises himself to save a struggling Southern football team and revive his own career. What a concept!
In a statement to Deadline, Glen and Michael shared their excitement for the project, saying, "We're both diehard college football fans. When we saw Eli as Chad Powers, we knew that was the way into a big, fun story about this world. We're excited to be part of this team, and can't wait to get Chad in the game. Think fast, run fast." It sounds like this series is going to be a hit!
Interestingly, this comes after Glen revealed that he's preparing to say goodbye to Hollywood. While promoting his recent action film, Hit Man, earlier this year, Glen shared that he's planning to leave his life in LA and return to his home state of Texas. After 15 years of working in Los Angeles, he feels like he's "earned the ability to go back to [his] family." That's quite a big change for the actor!
Glen's career has definitely been on the rise, with notable roles in films like Spy Kids 3-D: Game Over, Top Gun: Maverick, and the rom-com Anyone But You alongside Sydney Sweeney. He even co-wrote and produced Hit Man. But it was his appearance in the highly-anticipated 2022 film, Top Gun: Maverick, that made him feel like he could finally "leave Hollywood." That's quite an accomplishment!
In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Glen shared that he was influenced by fellow actor Matthew McConaughey to move to Austin. "He's like, 'Hollywood is the Matrix, man. You plug in, and it's all fake world,'" Glen explained, recalling a conversation with the True Detective star. "Then I go to Austin, and I unplug. It's all real. Those are my friends, that's my family, my actions matter there." It seems like Glen is ready for a change of pace and a more authentic life.
He continued, "For me, especially as my parents get older and my niece and nephew are growing up, I want a separation of those worlds." It's clear that family is important to Glen and he wants to prioritize spending time with them. He also noted that, while it's okay to live in the "Matrix" of Hollywood, it's important to not let it consume your whole life.
So there you have it, Glen Powell is preparing to say goodbye to Hollywood and return to his roots in Texas. Who knows what exciting projects he has in store for us in the future? We can't wait to see what he does next!
