This man has the potential to be a major name in Hollywood this decade. Hopefully he has a great agent and choose good movies.

He was also in The Dark Knight Rises. He was the stock broker that got his shoes shined and head bashed by Bane. Legend.

Now you made me re-watched that portion of the movie. Legend!

[@DonPasquale_]

He was great in Set It Up, didn't think he'd end up being in one of the biggest movies of all time a few years later. He played his role in Top Gun perfectly though, loved it.

[@sebbvell3426]

He just has that a$$whole smile that I love, he could easily play a villain but at same time he's so humble and I just wanna see play the lead.

[@jimmypavone3231]

I went to highschool with Glen and he was just as friendly and cool back then too!

[@MyKittyPercy]

I saw Devotion and cried multiple times. It was a great movie and made me love Glen Powell even more.

[@joanneweiss3864]

Great planning on Tom's part, planning ahead & teaching Glenn to 100% take over his leading man top star position & doing all his own stunts!!! Definitely going for it😊

[@shumayelkhan8154]

You nailed it!!! He maybe passing it off to him!!! 😮😮

[@subhashismandal9871]

Glad he's getting the recognition now. So happy for him.

[@abbysomnia624]

For anyone interested, him as Chad on Scream Queens is comedy gold.

Glen looks like he could play a Steve Rogers variant

glen's good, he's very good. but seriously he overflows that classic hollywood charm & got the old hollywood heartthrob smile. my fav right now fr

What a legend! Can't wait for Devotion

[@geoffreyfeinberg9792]

He's a good actor. Top Gun Maverick was awesome!

[@StrawberryLegacy]

Tom Cruise grooming him to be the next insane stunt guy of Hollywood 🤣

[@batmanfanizationreborn6055]

He was brilliant in top gun and devotion, both times, playing a pilot. He has acting chops and for sure is getting more prominent. He will be on marvel and dc's radar for sure. But from what i hear many people want him as hal Jordan or booster gold, either roles would suit him.

[@ghoulonfrightube]

I’m very glad that chad made it on the jimmy fallon show in his afterlife 😂

[@AlannahRyane]

I just finished watching 2013 movie Red Wing with Glen and Luke Perry ..was in full out crying at the end. Couldn't take my eyes off of Glen so I went looking for him and got here.

[@djamdul]

This man has the potential to be a IRON MAN 😍😍😍😍

[@chrisnjoroge8460]

My guy came out looking like an accountant who just became a dad, love it. It's that or a long-time antagonist from suits

[@seattlegolfer]

"So he threw a billion dollar party at his house and we had---" Fallon proceeds to interrupt the story, thus derailing that train of thought. I never saw Carson pull this stunt. Let your guests talk for chrissakes.

[@eunjiseong6624]

he still has that annoying cocky smile... i love it.

[@arveedibira2454]

maybe glen can continue the Mission impossible series.. 😁👌👌👌

[@oken6325]

I swear when I tried searching for this guy, I literally wrote "Hangman"

[@williamanderson3612]

Glen looks like a cool, chill guy and my friends and I made it an event to see "Top Gun Maverick" on opening weekend. Loved it! What he described, however, would not happen at a drop zone in the USA. Most likely we are getting an embellished Hollywood version. It does sound like he was still in UK when he did the jumps. I am a licensed skydiver. I doubt any reputable UK DZ would allow this either. The United States Parachute Association offers a seven-jump course called Accelerated Free Fall. A student has two instructors (one on each side) the first three jumps and one for the last four. Most jumps past AFF are coached jumps until you get your A License at minimum 25 jumps. Skydiving is a highly disciplined sport. I did not want anyone watching this video to think this sport would let anyone jump alone that early. I've heard of it in the military special forces, but only after a lot of wind tunnel time.

[@jimmckittrick6515]

Truth right there. I tandem skydived a couple years back and there were a few guys there working on getting their licenses. They were definitely jumping with coaches.

[@MusicLover-my6fo]

I hope the rumors are true that Glen Powell is going to play Scott Summers for the MCU's X-Men.

[@shumayelkhan8154]

He would be the perfect cyclops!

[@Tarzana24]

i fell in love with him when i watched Top Gun Maverick. I was impressed with his hard abs.

[@swojanaregmi189]

You jumped out alone, On your first jump....... and couldn't find the 'tab' 🤔 Did this really happen? Or have you been watching 'Point Break' ? (The Original obviously)

[@dimitrijensk2845]

5:40 XD

[@phiseresin]

if you easily cry during movies this is DEFINITELY not one to wear makeup to lol. got to see it at the scad film festival and cried for about half the movie.

[@seattlegolfer]

You cried for half the movie? Over exaggerate much?

[@NeonKix]

His character really strikes me as arrogant which I don't like... and yet he seems fairly humble and grateful in some respects. I like the guy but I'm really confused.

[@nashwelling4687]

He was my fraternity brother in college and he is one of the most humble, down to earth people… just really funny and can be sarcastic which he really leans into in his acting

[@seattlegolfer]

It's called acting, dumbass.

[@jakejohn3568]

As a qualified skydiver, he's lying. You literally cannot jump on your own you first jump.

He's better than miles teller.

[@estevangonzalez9212]

Hook ‘em Glen 🤘🏽

[@dedexyz8475]

Uh, NOBODY jumps out of a plane/solo....and Powell would have you assume that it was a freefall. NOPE! At the VERY least, he would be tethered on a ripcord line allowing for automatic canopy extraction upon exit of aircraft. NOBODY can freefall w/o already being licensed/certified. ANYBODY can solo jump....IF on a static line.

facts. it was perfect for top gun. they didnt convert it to 3D but, I kinda wish they had to just add that extra to the visuals. but still amazing. Black Adam was NARLY in 4DX!
