One of the surest signs you've made it in Hollywood is knowing you don't have to live there anymore. Filmmaking is a relentless beast and those who've toiled hard to take on Tinseltown know the toll it can take.
No-one knows that more than man of the moment, Glen Powell. Despite his seemingly overnight success, bursting onto the public's radar after the premiere of Top Gun: Maverick in 2022, Powell spent years grafting his way to stardom. Perhaps then it's no surprise that he's relishing the thought of having a break.
"[The benefit of] getting to this point in Hollywood is that I can now leave Hollywood," Powell told The Hollywood Reporter in a new interview, explaining he's moving back home to Texas to complete his college degree. "It's like I've earned the ability to go back to my family."
Indeed Powell's tight relationship with his folks was obvious when they playfully trolled him at the premiere of his latest film Hit Man, holding signs that jokingly read, "Stop trying to make Glen Powell happen".
This grounding perhaps explains why at times Powell has felt success has reduced him to a "function". "Someone will go, 'Hey, friend, want to come to this guy's house? Yeah, come over! And then you show up, and suddenly you're there for, like, someone's tequila launch and all of a sudden there's a photographer and you're like, 'Wait, what are we doing here?'" Powell told The Hollywood Reporter. "And I think you get enough of those that you just want to bring your family as close as possible - or run to them."
