Hereâs everything you need to know about Glen Powellâs future in the industry.
Is Glen Powell done with Hollywood?
No, Glen Powell is not done with working in Hollywood.
However, in a cover story for The Hollywood Reporter, Powell spoke about moving back home to Texas and leaving his current residence in Hollywood Hills, Los Angeles. âThe advantage of getting to this point in Hollywood is that I can now leave Hollywood. Itâs like Iâve earned the ability to go back to my family,â the actor said.
In the same interview, the actor divulged what he finds uncomfortable and mentioned the âfishbowl feelingâ of Hollywood. Adding to this, he said, âThis idea that youâre a function here. Someone will go, âHey, friend, want to come to this guyâs house? Yeah, come over.â And then you show up, and suddenly youâre there for, like, someoneâs tequila launch and all of a sudden thereâs a photographer and youâre like, âWait, what are we doing here?â And I think you get enough of those that you just want to bring your family as close as possible â or run to them.â
Is Glen Powell quitting acting?
No, Glen Powell is not quitting acting. He is only moving back to Texas to live with his family.
The actor said wants to move away from the buzz around Hollywood and is also planning to complete his college degree. He also added that it was fellow Texan Matthew McConaughey, who advised him to move back to Austin for a while.
Mimicking McConaughey, Powell said, âHeâs like, âHollywood is the Matrix, man. You plug in and itâs all fake worldâ. Heâs like, âThen I go to Austin, and I unplug. Itâs all real. Those are my friends, thatâs my family, my actions matter there.'â
In conclusion, Glen Powell will continue working as an actor and wonât be retiring anytime soon.
