3 Questions... | about actor Glen Powell’s popularity | If you browsed Netflix this past weekend, chances are you saw actor Glen Powell’s face. I asked entertainment reporter Taryn Ryder why he’s the movie man of the moment. |
|
| | Is it just me, or is Glen Powell everywhere right now? |
|
| It feels like the year of Glen Powell! His new comedy Hit Man is popular, but he also previously got attention for his roles in Top Gun: Maverick and Anyone but You. |
| |
| | What is it about him that makes people like him so much? |
|
| I talked to industry experts, and they think it’s his natural star charisma, genuine boy-next-door shtick and excellent choice in projects. (He stars in the Twisters remake next.) |
| |
| | If people have never seen him in anything, what film should they start with? |
|
| Check out Everybody Wants Some!! It’s a funny teen movie set on a 1980s Texas college campus and really shows off Powell’s comedic chops. |
