Talk show host Drew Barrymore<\/span><\/strong> managed to rattle Top Gun: Maverick actor Glen Powell<\/span> after praising the movie\u2019s iconic beach football scene. The 37-year-old heartthrob<\/a> appeared on The Drew Barrymore Show on Thursday, November 13, to talk about his film \u201cThe Running Man\u201d that releases nationwide on Friday. Given the title of the film, Powell was asked whether he reached out to Tom Cruise<\/a> since he\u2019s known for sprinting a lot in his movies. This prompted him to talk about the shirtless sporty scene from the top-grossing 2022 film.<\/p>\n As training for \u201cThe Running Man,\u201d the actor had asked sprinting coaches on who he should emulate and they said Tom Cruise. \u201cWell, I have his number, so he was very helpful.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWhen we shot Top Gun: Maverick, there\u2019s like a beach football scene,\u201d Powell continued, before Barrymore quickly chimed in.<\/p>\n \u201cOh yeah, we don\u2019t remember that at all,\u201d she joked, causing Powell and the audience to chuckle.<\/p>\n As the actor settled himself, a part of the crowd clapped in praise of the iconic scene from the film, where Cruise\u2019s character gathers shirtless trainees to play a round of beach football amid the setting sun. The clip became such a fan-favorite that Paramount released a three-hour version of it on YouTube<\/a>.<\/p>\n Curling comfortably on the couch, Barrymore continued to pile on the compliments. \u201cThat was probably many people\u2019s sexual awakening, slash we are play that on repeat rent-free in our minds!\u201d<\/p>\n Surprised, Powell shook his head and couldn\u2019t stop from grinning. \u201cAlright, well\u2026 I don\u2019t know what to do with that.\u201d The actor laughed for a few seconds, trying to compose himself, before describing how he was impressed with Cruise\u2019s speed while running along the beach.<\/p>\n The actor was a frontrunner for People\u2019s \u201cSexiest Man Alive\u201d in 2024. While that title ultimately went to John Krasinski, fans still named him \u201cSexiest Summer Action Star.\u201d<\/p>\n Meanwhile, rumors that Powell is dating Sydney Sweeney<\/a> continue to swirl.<\/p>\n The post Drew Barrymore Flusters Top Gun Maverick Star After Calling Beach Football Scene an \u2018Awakening\u2019<\/a> appeared first on Reality Tea<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Talk show host Drew Barrymore managed to rattle Top Gun: Maverick actor Glen Powell after praising the movie\u2019s iconic beach football scene.
