Glen Powell Declines Photo With 'Recently Canceled' Star, Shares 'Gruesome' Date Story

He described the unnamed figure as having a 'toxic' face in a Therapuss interview during publicity for Chad Powers.

Overview

  • Powell said a photographer asked him to pose with a once-celebrated actor at a Hollywood party, but he refused because he was a fan of the work, not the choices.
  • He said the celebrity was "recently canceled" and that "his face is toxic," adding that people have a visceral reaction to the person’s past behavior.
  • The identity of the unnamed star remains unconfirmed as online speculation circulates, and there has been no clarification from Powell or his representatives.
  • He compared the encounter to themes in his series Chad Powers, noting his view that some figures can learn from mistakes while others "should lie where they're shot."
  • In the same Therapuss appearance, Powell recounted accidentally breaking a date’s nose years ago, calling the incident "gruesome" and saying it ended the night; Chad Powers debuts Sept. 30 on Hulu and on Disney+ internationally.
