Glen Powell BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.
Glen Powell has kept the spotlight firmly on himself over the last few days by launching his highly anticipated Hulu comedy series Chad Powers, with a promotional whirlwind that has seen him everywhere from Los Angeles to Austin to the heart of ESPN’s Bristol campus. Earlier this week, Powell was in Connecticut, stopping by ESPN headquarters to appear on a marathon slate of five different programs in a blitz that included The Pat McAfee Show, SportsCenter, The Paul Finebaum Show, NFL Live, and College Football Live. According to CT Insider, these appearances centered around his new show, described as a more rowdy, edgy, and truthful football comedy than usual fare, featuring plenty of involvement from Peyton and Eli Manning. Powell discussed his transformation into an undercover quarterback with comedic prosthetics and offered takes on college football, winning laughs for his candidness and commitment to the bit.
Stepping out from the Bristol studios, Powell then took to the streets of South Austin to promote Chad Powers in a more grassroots style event dishing out hot dogs and burgers for fans—highlighting his Texas roots and love for grilling, which Powell recently told Food & Wine is a key part of his downtime. He also teamed up with Raising Canes for pop-up screenings, further cementing his reputation as a fan-friendly star who relishes connecting with his audience over food and football.
In New York, paparazzi snapped him heading into Good Morning America, beaming for the cameras in a classic bomber jacket, no shortage of style or charm as reported by TMZ. Across media, headlines have fixated on Powell’s imminent TV pivot, while social buzz has followed his every move, from Raising Canes appearances to playful group texts with his Top Gun: Maverick co-stars. He playfully revealed to People that the Top Gun cast group chat remains lit with congratulations for everything from Oscar nominations to new box office successes, but squashed rumors that he has any insider news on the much-speculated third Top Gun movie, admitting there’s nothing new on that front for now.
Review responses to Chad Powers have been mixed, with some critics loving Powell’s comedic risk-taking while others argue the show feels rushed, as noted by CT Insider. Powell’s star, however, continues on the ascent, with media outlets like AOL spotlighting his trajectory from Anyone But You and Twisters to headlining television. No major new business ventures or controversies have emerged, but this week’s relentless promotional schedule and media buzz affirm Glen Powell’s status as one of Hollywood’s busiest, most versatile leading men.
