Glen Powell thinks being a movie star is “awesome”.<\/p>\n
The 36-year-old actor began dreaming of stardom as a child, but he admits that success in the film business hasn’t come easily.<\/p>\n
Glen told the new issue of America’s GQ magazine: “If you\u2019re in Hollywood, I always find it to be very disingenuous when people are driving across town to the Valley in the heat of summer, memorising two lines, practising them a thousand times and then acting like they don\u2019t care.<\/p>\n
“The amount of work that it takes, I always find that people that downplay it, which – it\u2019s fine to downplay it, but I\u2019ve never been a guy that can play it cool. I\u2019ll tell you exactly how I\u2019m feeling with all of it. I don\u2019t know any other way to do it.”<\/p>\n
Glen has enjoyed a meteoric rise in recent years, becoming one of the most sought-after actors in Hollywood. And the film star admits that he’s relished his recent successes.<\/p>\n
He shared: “This is cool. I have wanted to do this since I was a kid, and it\u2019s awesome.”<\/p>\n
Glen is well-known for his chiseled physique, and he feels that definitions of manhood in Hollywood are changing.<\/p>\n
He explained: “When you look at actors of yesteryear, if they\u2019re hitting at 36, they look like Gene Hackman in The Royal Tenenbaums.<\/p>\n
“Speaking of masculinity, I feel like that is one of those things, the health and wellness thing, that used to not feel like guys\u2019 owning that space as much. And I do feel like the tide is gonna turn on that, where it\u2019s a space that I\u2019ve been really interested in for a while, but I feel like it\u2019s also now becoming a little bit more in vogue.<\/p>\n
“When I go back to Los Angeles, when I socialise and bring guys together, instead of just going, \u2018Hey, let\u2019s all go grab a drink,\u2019 a lot of times I\u2019ll just bring \u2019em all to a sauna and I\u2019ll just load all my buddies in a sauna. And everybody appreciates it. Go sauna and cold plunge together.”<\/p>\n
Earlier this year, Glen heaped praise on Tom Cruise, describing his former co-star as a “great mentor”.<\/p>\n
The actor starred alongside Tom in ‘Top Gun: Maverick’, the 2022 action movie, and Glen admits that his showbiz pal has played an important role in his recent success.<\/p>\n
Glen told Extra: “He’s the best kind of friend you could ask for, just a real cheerleader and just a real great mentor and friend, and he loves when other people are winning, especially when he knows what it takes to make that kind of movie.<\/p>\n
“He’s done it – a lot, and he knows the work ethic and diligence and sacrifice it takes to do it.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
