This was Glen Powell’s Summer. Powell was featured in a popular movie over the summer, Twisters, which was a massive success for him after being in the Hollywood trenches for ages. He has been growing thanks to profiles in GQ, the Hollywood Reporter, and Vanity Fair, and more online media reporting websites. Across the internet, Powell has been crowned the next best thing. Powell was not a familiar name before the Summer of 2023. Anyone But You, a movie released in December 2023, started Powell’s upcoming. After watching the film Powell featured in over the summer, you can call me a super fan.
The summer of Glen Powell has set the stage for his continued growth and success into the future. Powell has undeniable talent and a whole lot of charm, he becomes a leading man in Hollywood and a household name (especially at my house). Powell’s star power will only continue to rise, opening up new opportunities for him to showcase his talent and connect with audiences worldwide. The summer of Glen Powell may have been a turning point in his career, but it is only the beginning of what promises to be a bright future for this rising star.
Another popular and charismatic star, Sydney Sweeney, took a shine to Powell and worked with him on a film that quickly became a hit. Anyone But You received mixed reviews from viewers and hit $220 million worldwide. I loved the movie, and have watched it about five times since it came out in theaters and moved to Netflix. The movie’s success is considered to mark the return of romantic comedies to theaters.
A new Netflix movie, Hit Man, featured Powell as a professor-turned-fake hitman. Although the movie “Hitman” did not get as high reviews as Anyone But You, Glen Powell was highlighted as the best actor in the film. I tried to watch Hit Man– and personally could not make it through more than 10 minutes of the film because of how differently Powell’s character was portrayed, as a disturbing character/part villain in Hit Man, where he was a romantic in Anyone But You. Powell has shiny profiles under him from the Hollywood Reporter and Vanity Fair; two entertainment industries, which frame him very well and make places call to put him on upcoming shows. If that doesn’t get you to believe that Glen Powell is the next best thing, then you can at least acknowledge how good-looking this man is.
Key figures in the summer of Glen Powell include Powell himself, as well as his co-stars Sydney Sweeney and Alexandra Shipp, who complimented him well in Anyone But You. Their performances in Anyone But You were praised for their chemistry and comedic timing, contributing to the film’s success. Even more than that, director Will Gluck played a crucial role in bringing the story onto the big screen. Together, these people made one of my favorite movies, a memorable film to many that sat well with the critics, and audience and helped solidify Powell’s status as a rising star.
Powell came to the public to open up about his mental health struggles going through a breakup, which is hard to do while having such a wide following. While fans came out to send their condolences through Powell’s post-break-up struggles, you could assume he’d be another actor to fall out of his fame due to the publicity. I was excited, however, about the breakup and thought maybe this could be my chance (don’t tell my boyfriend).
The impact of the summer of Glen Powell extends far beyond just a few films. Powell appeared on the red carpet over the summer, the morning of the movie, Twisters premiere.
“I was going through a breakup [from model Gigi Paris] at the time and was in the middle of Enid, Oklahoma, and I had always wanted a dog,” Powell said “It was something I thought about a lot, but it was somewhere in this coffee shop in Enid.… I don’t even know how to describe it; I just had the desire to be a father.”
Then, Powell appeared on the red carpet with his dog, Brisket. Powell’s audience went wild for it because now the pop star was a dog dad. Who doesn’t love a good-looking man with a cute dog? Throughout the coming of the movie Twisters, which made a worldwide total of $358.3 million, Brisket made an appearance while Glen was on set while Brisket was potty training throughout the making of the show.
Overall, Powell’s high-end life is something many aspire to have as their own.In the entertainment business, Glen Powell is a unique and captivating performer that wins over audiences with his charm.
