Glen Powell's Meteoric Rise: From Texas to Tinseltown's New Leading Man
Glen Powell BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.
Over the past few days Glen Powell’s Hollywood momentum has reached another high. First, every entertainment outlet is buzzing about his starring role in Edgar Wright’s reboot of The Running Man, now in theaters. The movie is based on the Stephen King novel and according to CBS News Powell revealed King actually had to personally approve him for the role—a rare and symbolic nod from one of fiction’s icons. Arnold Schwarzenegger, the original Running Man, even screened the film and reportedly told Powell and Wright, “You nailed it. It’s perfect,” which made headlines in Fox News and Toronto Sun. Powell is turning heads as a next-gen leading man with press likening him to Cruise and Schwarzenegger.
Powell’s whirlwind press tour hit peak viral when he appeared on Hot Ones and completely lost his composure during a hilarious and now infamous “jerk-vest” misunderstanding that has social media in stitches. Bored Panda describes Powell’s chaotic, confessional slip-ups—one involving a story about his mom “practicing moaning” for a cameo—which triggered endless memes and reaction tweets. Fans and gossip accounts joked he “said the quiet part out loud about Hollywood culture,” cementing him as a belovedly unfiltered talk-show guest.
Business-wise Powell’s profile skyrocketed as The Running Man premiered in London on November 5th, with Tom Cruise making a surprise appearance—Toronto Sun notes Cruise seeing Powell as a genuine successor in Hollywood action. Meanwhile, Powell’s friendship with Schwarzenegger and advice from Cruise have been a running headline—Fox News covered Schwarzenegger personally warning Powell about life as an action hero and the pressures that come with it.
He is also set for a major Saturday Night Live moment. Times of India reports SNL promos went viral as Powell, in his first hosting gig, delivered an uncanny “walking like Walken” bit that racked up millions of views across TikTok and Instagram. Social media is alive with clips from his Hot Ones episode, his SNL teaser, and fan tributes cropping up everywhere.
On the business front, Variety and Texas Monthly highlight how Powell is capitalizing on his star turn, fielding offers for new tentpole projects and rom-coms, and showing off his Texas roots in a new cover shoot for the November issue—photographed with his rescue dog Brisket, who’s become a minor celebrity, as Texas Monthly notes.
To sum it up Glen Powell has gone from Hollywood’s hottest up-and-comer to a bona fide leading man this week, dominating screens, social feeds, and viral moments with a combination of blockbuster hits, comedic blunders, and heartfelt authenticity—setting him up for a new chapter in his already stellar career.
