Glen Powell commands attention as he stars on the cover of GQ’s October issue, highlighting his impressive physique and playful spirit. The actor appears mostly stripped down, wearing only Calvin Klein tank tops and trunks, but also dons exaggerated bodybuilder costumes that add a humorous twist to his image. This feature comes at a pivotal moment, coinciding with the upcoming release of his action thriller Running Man and his new Hulu series Chad Powers.
Through the editorial shot by Bobby Doherty, Powell adopts various exaggerated personas that humorously explore traditional ideals of masculinity. From a muscle-bound bodybuilder downing a Celsius drink to slightly overdone politicians, the photos blend satire with style. In the accompanying interview, Powell opens up about vulnerability, hard work, and his journey to becoming a recognized leading man in Hollywood.
Powell Reflects on Vulnerability and Dedication in His Career
Speaking candidly, Powell emphasizes the strength he finds in emotional openness, a value instilled by his close-knit family environment. He remarked,
“I just find that it’s cool and tough to be open and vulnerable, and maybe that’s just where it comes from with my family, but my family’s all on the table and no one ever judges you for it,”

Powell also shares his perspective on the demands of the acting profession and the dedication required for success. He explained,
“If you’re in Hollywood, I always find it to be very disingenuous when people are driving across town to the Valley in the heat of summer, memorizing two lines, practicing them a thousand times and then acting like they don’t care. The amount of work that it takes, I always find that people that downplay it, which—it’s fine to downplay it, but I’ve never been a guy that can play it cool. I’ll tell you exactly how I’m feeling with all of it. I don’t know any other way to do it.”
