In what can only be described as a shocking metamorphosis, Glen Powell, the man who normally exudes “leading man” energy, now looks like he moonlights as your uncle who spends too much time at the local bowling alley. Yes, that’s right — the 35-year-old heartthrob has emerged from his chrysalis looking completely unrecognizable for his new role in Hulu’s upcoming series Chad Powers. We’re talking about a transformation so intense, even his mirror probably did a double-take.
So, what’s the deal? Glen’s latest venture involves him playing a college football quarterback. But not just any quarterback — he’s Chad Powers, the dude you don’t want leading your fantasy team but the guy who’ll definitely be in the karaoke bar at 2 AM screaming Bon Jovi. The series, of course, is inspired by an Eli Manning skit because, why not? This is 2024, where sports stars are also comedians and Glen Powell is apparently a shapeshifter.
Now, let’s talk about this look. Buckle up, because the first photos of Glen on set have surfaced and… wow. E! News did the hard work of securing these photos so the world can witness what can only be described as Glen’s undercover alter ego. He’s rocking a shaggy haircut that screams “I haven’t seen a barber since quarantine,” coupled with a prosthetic nose so prominent, it could probably pick up satellite signals. And did we mention the mustache? Yes, the cherry on top is a glorious lip sweater that would make Tom Selleck proud. He’s also dressed like he raided a 1980s gym teacher’s closet — colorful, sporty, and the exact opposite of every red carpet look we’ve seen from him.
But wait, there’s more! Glen’s transformation into Chad Powers is just another pit stop on his journey to conquering Hollywood. He’s fresh off starring in Twisters, which, in case you missed it, was the summer blockbuster where tornadoes take a backseat to Glen’s jawline. Last year, he wooed us alongside Sydney Sweeney in Anyone But You, proving that he’s got range — from romcom heartthrob to football player who definitely doesn’t remember to turn in his homework on time.
Stay tuned for more updates, as Glen Powell continues to blur the lines between Hollywood A-lister and your cousin who “used to be something big in high school football.”
