Glen Powell’s Strange Encounter at a TV Party

Glen Powell revealed a shockingly toxic encounter with a recently canceled star at a Hollywood party.

Sudden Recognition

Glen Powell, on his Jake Shane podcast ‘Therapuss‘, reminisced about a long-ago Hollywood party where he met a recently canceled celebrity.

Powell explained that he had praised the man’s many films, but felt a strange hesitation in respectfully shaking his hand.

A Scene Among the Cameras

“It was a party surrounded by charged camera flashes and press,” Powell explains.

He said the celebrity shook his hand and asked for a photo, but Powell felt a twinge—was this the right moment?

Toxic Face, Toxic Chapter

“When I looked at him, it felt like his face had turned toxic,” Powell says.

He explained that the canceled star’s choices had caused his image to plummet to the point where people were distancing themselves from him.

It was then that Powell realized that sometimes a person’s mistakes leave a deep mark on their identity.

Chad Powers Connection

This strange experience reminded Powell of his new Hulu series, Chad Powers, in which his character, Russ Holiday, also makes a mistake that leads to his infamy.

Powell explains, “In Chad Powers, Russ makes mistakes, but he’s not a bad person—he just learns important lessons.”

This thought connects him to the truth revealed at that Hollywood party.

Let Some Names Be Missing

Powell did not name the canceled celebrity to keep the discussion limited to that experience.

Sometimes, allegations or controversies against stars redefine them, and that’s what Powell felt that night.

Responsibility and Conclusion

“Some people’s infamy is earned,” Powell said sternly.

He emphasized that rebuilding a reputation isn’t easy, and if someone has truly done wrong, they should suffer the consequences.

When to Watch Chad Powers

Chad Powers is streaming on Hulu starting September 30th.

Powell says the show, amidst controversial topics, also tells a story of redemption, revealing human emotions beyond the glitz and glamour of Hollywood reality.

In this interview, Powell not only recounted a strange encounter but also explained how a small incident can force you to reconsider your character and life.

This ‘toxic’ encounter brought him even more life into his role in Chad Powers.
