LOADING ERROR LOADING Glen Powell is looking back on a humbling experience he had early in his Hollywood career before skyrocketing to fame. In a new interview with The Hollywood Reporter , the actor recalled how things took a turn for the worse as he was celebrating one of his first major roles, in 2014’s “The Expendables 3 .” Advertisement The “Anyone but You” star claimed he was kicked out of the VIP section of a party at the Cannes Film Festival when a bouncer failed to realize he actually starred in the action movie.

Powell played the highly trained hacker Thorn in the adventure flick alongside a roster of action icons. “I did this movie ‘Expendables 3’ — it’s like Sylvester Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Antonio Banderas, Wesley Snipes, Jason Statham,” he recalled. “Somehow I’m the random guy that snuck in.

So I’m like the only unknown person in a cast of legends.” Powell said that, despite celebrating the film together with the cast and having his face on “all these character banners” for the movie at Cannes, a bouncer at the after-party didn’t recognize him. Advertisement “I got kicked out of the VIP section of the ‘Expendables 3’ party,” Powell told THR.

“It actually got kind of physical. There was a large bouncer that was convinced that I shouldn’t be in the VIP section, so it kind of turned into a physical altercation where I got hit in the face at the ‘Expendables 3’ party ’cause no one recognized me even tho.
