It looks like the ranks of stars who don’t live in Hollywood have gained another member. With the 2024 movie schedule seeing Glen Powell returning to screens in both Hit Man and Twisters this summer, the charming Texan has said goodbye to the City of Stars. You can thank fellow southern boy/acting legend Matthew McConaughey for delivering the hard-earned advice that sent Powell packing after almost two decades in the California sun.
Speaking with THR , the Anyone but You heartthrob had his own extremely valid take on why the move back to the Lone Star State makes sense. Here’s what Glen Powell shared as part of his reasons for returning home: Getting to this point in Hollywood is that I can now leave Hollywood. It’s like I’ve earned the ability to go back to my family.
As far as “earning” his way back home, I can definitely see where Mr. Powell is coming from. Usually aspiring talent is told to move to California to better pursue every project that arrives in hopes of scoring their breakout hit.
Should you land that mythical success, the freedom to live does crop up, as the gigs tend to come to you; especially after landing a movie like Top Gun : Maverick on your resume. There’s an added angle that the report cited above mentions when explaining Glen Powell’s exodus back to Texas. In addition to wanting to be near the people he holds near and dear, the acting sensation is looking to finish up his degree at the University of Texas at Austin.
Which, to be quite .
