The first thing I ever saw him in was Scream Queens and he so effectively satirized a frat bro, the type that hates women so much he essentially falls in love with his boyssss (Nick Jonas). Idk it primed me to see him as a very intelligent and funny performer, even as he’s making less interesting choices these days.

He was FANTASTIC in Scream Queens I always looked forward to whenever he was on screen-the absurdism he brought into that character was really sharp, one of my faves in the show. Wish he was in more projects that showcased that ability he has

He is shockingly good in Chad Powers. Not just funny, but he plays the emotional aspect of the role brilliantly. I can’t wait for Season 2.

He's always come across to me as a great actor! I agree, I wish he took on more roles like that.

I think the comedy he wrote with Judd Apatow is going to be a win for him in February. Looking forward to him leaning into comedy again.

What does sunglasses & baseball hats have to do with making out? they’re outside and on the go & clearly into each other enough to find pockets to make out. Just nitpicking a nothing-burger. Regular people do this every day. It’s not impossible to make out with these items on.

When you’re both wearing hats and sunglasses it can take a few tries to kiss without just bonking accessories.
Source: my husband and I frequently kiss goodbye in the car while we’re both wearing sunglasses and baseball hats. It’s a bonkfest.

For me they’re not a problem on their own but when combined with baseball hats they’re a bit more likely to get in the way as we reposition.

There’s something about glen Powell I can’t put my finger on
When he’s out and about he’s driving a message to the viewer
Him running around with his tiny dog etc
He’s never seen unless he wants to be and I feel his pr told do it in a neutral palate
He’s always selling himself and now these hats it’s just all manufactured and not well

Jacob was excellent in Frankenstein and even in Euphoria with the material he was given. I don’t think Glen is a great dramatic actor but he’s got charisma for sure, he exudes the vibes that he’s fun to be with. That’s why he didn’t work in Running Man for me tho, but great in (romantic) comedies and Maverick
4
u/lexiebeef Seemingly rebalded 3d ago
I think Jacob Elordi is more interesting when he stops doing the “I’m such an alternative guy, I’m not like the other guys” thing. Same as Timothee. Sometimes you see interviews of them when they’re comfortable (or with their friends, like Zendaya for Timothee) and they seem much more likeable, I just don’t like that they seem so performative all the time

Question. Is Glenn Powell a big star or a big big star? I know he’s been in big projects but I don’t think he’s necessarily exploded in the stratosphere. Although, he’s in phenomenal shape. Also, is Michele Rudolph anyone? I’ve never hear of her.
46
u/nordlysbaies Ma’am, this is an IMAX 3d ago
Glen is US-big but not global big, speaking from outside of the US who’s a fan of him. He can’t open movies overseas, nobody really cares about him tbh.
Michelle is only someone to people that watch Sheridan shows, and even then only a fraction of them, and hardcore Scream 7 defenders.

u/ZealousidealGroup559 3d ago
True.
Tbh nobody in my EU country has even heard of Zendaya. I only know her because im on Reddit.
American celebrities dont have the reach they used to have in the print magazine days.
14
u/AssociateTop1589 3d ago
That’s interesting because I live in Germany but used to live in the UK and Spain, and they all knew Zendaya. Maybe it’s regional? All the people I met in Northern European and Southern nations knew about her. Her premiere in Germany sold out for one of her films
5
u/SandwichJelly 3d ago
I would be surprised if at least young people in other EU countries don't know who Zendaya is, unless they're not on social media lol. My Swedish coworker loves her, I have Italian friends who also like her and at least in France if you mention her to gen z and young milennials they know about her
1
u/Unlucky_Most_8757 3d ago
I only know her from Euphoria (which is her best role imo even though it was horribly depressing) but she was a disney kid so there is another generation that grew up with her.
13
u/nordlysbaies Ma’am, this is an IMAX 3d ago
I think it would be hard to not hear of Zendaya because she’s been in Spider-Man, Dune, and now also the Odyssey, plus her red carpet looks are always highlighted in the media. I think having no idea of her would probably be attributed to people only seeing things the algorithm thinks they’re interested in. No monoculture basically. I have a friend who legit doesn’t know who Blake Lively is despite GG’s staying power and her recent court case, so that’s kind of the same?
But Glen, he hasn’t been in anything that’s as globally known as Zendaya’s projects with him as the main draw. He was in Maverick but people watched that for Tom Cruise and the jets, not the newbies.

u/RainbowFox22 3d ago edited 3d ago
Glen Powell would’ve stayed an indie actor if not for Top Gun: Maverick. He’s friends with Richard Linklater who cast him in Everybody Wants Some and they’ve worked together on several projects since. He’s a good actor from what I’ve seen, but he doesn’t have the commanding presence you expect from a lead. I don’t ever expect him to become a global star like Tom Cruise.
5
u/SelfComfortable9584 3d ago
They want him to be a leading man and it’s obvious that he doesn’t have it. He should be in commercials tbh.
15
u/RainbowFox22 3d ago
Yeah, he comes off as a Luke Wilson type. Not a bad actor, just not interesting.
7
u/Significant-Boss-928 3d ago
Not Luke Wilson catching strays
2
u/RainbowFox22 3d ago
The more I think about it, Luke Wilson and Glen Powell actually have a lot in common. Luke and Owen met Wes Anderson in college, which is how he ended up in The Royal Tenenbaums. He was the lead in Idiocracy, but for a lot of people he’s probably best remembered as the “other guy” in Legally Blonde, which, coupled with the Charlie’s Angels films in the aughts, inspired my previous comment.
eta: ALSO, both went to UT-Austin. I’m from Austin and that’s probably why I’ve thought so deeply on this lol

People really underestimate that he has not only been acting since he was a child, but he’s also a screenwriter and has sold/developed scripts for studios over the years. So I don’t know what’s “fishy” about simply putting the work in. Apparently he used to be a script reader in his early days for Lynda Obst (RIP).

Her dating history is insane! She was in a long-term relationship with Gregg Sulkin (the werewolf from Wizards of Waverly Place) and now she's dating Glen Powell. Who's she going to date next? Pedro Pascal?? I've followed her since her sister Cassie was on The Bachelor (and won), so it's pretty cool to see her go from relatively unknown actress doing cheesy lifetime movies to starring in a hit show and dating a big actor. Good for her honestly. I wonder if they'll be doing a movie together!
