#GlenPowell is a rarity: one of the few Hollywood mega stars.

Industry handwringers have spilled an ocean liner’s worth of ink in the past decade debating who will be Hollywood’s next leading man. Who will become 𝘵𝘩𝘦 guy? The one women want to date and dudes want to drink with. Then Powell arrived via good old-fashioned elbow grease and unbridled enthusiasm.

“Top Gun: Maverick” was a billion-dollar introduction; “Anyone but You” sealed the deal. He topped the box office a year later with “Twisters” and simultaneously dominated screens at home with “Hit Man.” He was no overnight success—it came after two decades of dedication to the industry he loves. And he’s not slowing down now.

Esquire’s madison_vain spent the last several months in the land of Glen Powell, talking to him about the setbacks, successes, and relationships that make him the actor—and the man—he is today. Read the October/November cover story at the link in our bio.
