Glen Powell appeared on the red carpet at this year’s Golden Globes, telling viewers that his unusual walk could be blamed on recent injuries sustained while filming. The Glen Powell Golden Globes moment was notable as the actor, known for “Anyone But You,” pushed through discomfort to attend the prestigious ceremony held on Sunday.
Accident on Set Linked to Series Football Scenes
Powell explained to Variety that the injuries came from his involvement in football scenes related to his Hulu series, openly crediting the fictional character Chad Powers for his current state.
“I gotta say, all the football guys – I was down there, I took some hits yesterday,”
Powell told Variety while on the press line before the ceremony.
“If I’m walking a little weird today, it’s because I’m in a little bit of pain.”
Despite the discomfort, Powell maintained a positive attitude and engaged with the media and fans.
Anticipation Grows for Second Season of Hulu’s Sports Comedy
Continuing the conversation, Powell discussed ongoing production for the second season of the Hulu comedy series, which centers around a Georgia football team called the Catfish.
“The football is great. We’re leveling up on the football, were leveling up on every part of the fish,”
Powell remarked, clearly excited about what is ahead for the cast and crew.
“I’m just really excited for what this season has in store.”
He described season two as significantly darker and more chaotic, promising that the story’s development will be marked by turbulence driven by the character Russ Holliday.
“Some people just want to watch the world burn. I think the fun part is [season 1] ended on a darker note, and that’s what season 2 is definitely going to represent. It’s really the chaos that Russ Holliday is bringing on the world. It’s all coming crashing down in the best way.”
