Glen Powell might just be the busiest man in Hollywood right now. Not only does he star this month in the splashy, Shakespearean rom-com Anyone But You opposite Sydney Sweeney, but his 2024 is already teeming with projects like the action-comedy Hit Man, which he co-wrote and produced in collaboration with Richard Linklater, as well as Twisters, a follow-up to the 1996 Helen Hunt-led disaster epic. When he’s not starring in blockbusters like Top Gun: Maverick, however, he’s surprisingly grounded—splitting his time between New York City (where he finished setting up his Wi-Fi mere minutes before our interview), Los Angeles, and his family’s ranch in Austin, Texas. “Every time I come to New York, it kind of fills me up, and I just don’t feel that way about Los Angeles anymore,” the 35-year-old actor, clad in a white T-shirt and jet black baseball cap, says over Zoom from his new Manhattan apartment.
But Powell is perhaps most at home meditating on craft, doing Legally Blonde impressions (“Don’t stomp your little last season Prada shoes at me, honey!” is a favorite—and shockingly accurate—line reading), or riffing about future rom-com plots. As he’s found more success, Powell has tried not to lose himself in the process, something he credits to his family of “goofballs.” “I spend most of my time in Austin, Texas around my family,” he says, flashing a million-dollar smile. “It’s where I feel the most like me.”
While Powell has been cutting his teeth in Hollywood since he was 10, it wasn’t until 2015 that he landed his breakout role as the scene-stealing frat bro Chad Radwell in Ryan Murphy’s campy horror series Scream Queens. Soon, he was starring in films like Linklater’s unofficial Dazed & Confused sequel Everybody Wants Some!! (2016), the historical drama Hidden Figures (2016), and the Netflix rom-com Set It Up (2018), minting his status as one of Hollywood’s most charming heartthrobs. But Powell, while aware of the attention, tries to avoid feeding into it. He’d much rather be creating.
In an interview with Vogue, the actor opened up about his history with rom-coms, working with Richard Linklater, and the musical he’s developing with Murphy.
