- A Hollywood heartthrob undergoes a hilarious transformation for a new Hulu comedy series.
- The actor sports a straggly blonde wig, a large prosthetic nose, and fake teeth for the role.
- Fans are in for a surprise as the heartthrob becomes unrecognizable in the quirky makeover.
Actor Glen Powell, 35, has undergone a significant transformation for his latest role, sporting fake teeth and a mustache. He stars as a disgraced quarterback who reinvents himself as Chad Powers to revive his football career in a struggling Southern team. Powell not only leads the series but also co-created it and serves as an executive producer alongside Michael Waldron. Former New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning is also on board as an executive producer for the Hulu series, which will feature 30-minute episodes. Manning expressed his excitement about the project, noting the unexpected popularity of the Chad Powers character, which he previously portrayed in a skit that garnered 8.1 million views on YouTube. The skit was produced by Omaha Productions, further highlighting the collaboration between sports and entertainment. The series aims to bring a fresh perspective to the world of football, blending humor and drama. The film associated with the series premiered in theaters last month, achieving impressive box office success with $335.9 million in earnings against a budget of $155 million. Powell reflected on the positive reception from fans, particularly regarding a cut scene featuring a kiss with co-star Daisy Edgar-Jones, which he humorously noted was a highlight of the filming experience. In a recent interview, both Powell and Edgar-Jones hinted that the omission of the kiss scene might be a strategic move to pave the way for a potential sequel, suggesting that their story is far from over.
