A pilot and a flight attendant in one interview? How fitting.

[Rocinante_]

He is an incredible actor. His sureness of him self and his arrogance in the movie, made iceman look like Mickey Mouse.
I wanted to slap him a few times 😂

[alexshmalex]

Glen Powell wasn't on my radar before Top Gun Maverick but I like him a lot now and can't wait to see him take a lead action role!

[abbysomnia]

Glen Powell as Chad in Scream Queens is comedy gold. I will see him in anything from now on.

[forlupit]

I totally thought that his normal personality would have elements of 'Hangman' but wow.. he sure seems down to earth. I hope he gets a lot more recognition than he already has

[breezus]

Glen is a STAR, meaning he has a quality that makes you just WANT to watch him on the screen, even if he's supposed to be a bit player. I felt that seeing him in Hidden Figures, and I for sure felt that in TG: Maverick with his bigger supporting role. I wish for him the best!

[saigonrider]

Tom' training Glen to be his succesor for sure. Glen has the it factor to become the next Block Buster hero

[barbaramiller]

He did such a great job!! He and Miles Teller were the best!!

[mirandamontenegro]

I absolutely love Glen Powell ever since Scream Queens! He kills it on every role 👏🏽

[marianasandovalabdalla]

The movie is fucking amazing and I cant stop swearing because I just cried, laughed, gasped (literally the whole room gasped in a scene and then we started laughing) stressed out, got mad, flipped the bird and insulted so much

[phillipedwardness]

I think he nailed the character, because even though he was a bit of a dick you knew he was actually good. So he had that awesome balancing act between confidence and arrogance - but also you knew he wasn’t a total a hole when it came down to it. He was a scene stealer as well. I think his character was far more interesting than Rooster, and I’m very glad he ended up getting Hangman.

[celestialblue]

This guy has so much potential. He gave me some serious alpha-male Brad Pitt vibes in Top Gun Mav

[laczkoderi]

Glen Powell is great actor and awesome person!🎬🥰

[Patricia-isso]

No offense, but it seems to me that this actor Glen made a big impression on everyone. After this note even for Tom more than the others. 😎👊With that charisma, enthusiasm, talent, and beauty, Glen will go far.😊🚀

[arynhedrick]

I’ve loved him for so long. But his relationship with his family might be my favorite thing about him

[atamagashock]

Tom is such a legend! That lady story Glenn tells about Tom is awesome, and Must be so proud and happy for glenn

[NiVi]

I love how charismatic this dude is, and how smart his sense of humor is. Also, I can't believe how much I just learned in these 7 minutes.

[Nishanth_mementomori]

Glenn's character in Top Gun Maverick is literally how Maverick was, frm the first movie

[M.L.]

Glen was absolutely fantastic in Maverick!

[TechieTexan]

Here to support my favorite Texan, Glen Powell!!! He was fantastic as Hangman!!!
