Glen Powell, is that you? The 35-year-old star of «Twisters» was spotted on the set of his upcoming sports series «Chad Powers», - and he looks unrecognizable in the quarterback costume of his character.
According to photos obtained by E! News on Wednesday, August 21, Glen was seen in a blue sports jersey and yellow sports shorts, carrying a black sports bag over his shoulder. The actor also had a longer caramel-blonde hairstyle compared to his short sandy haircut.
The series does not have a confirmed release date yet, but it is expected to air on Hulu. According to the IMDb description, «Chad Powers» follows a «shameful college quarterback named Russ Holiday [who] disguises himself as Chad Powers and joins a struggling southern football team to revive his football career».
The series, which also stars Steve Zahn, Toby Huss, and Perry Mattfeld, is based on an ESPN+ sketch by Eli Manning, in which he disguised himself as an athlete named Chad Powers.
Earlier, Eli and Glen discussed the character in an episode of Eli Manning’s show on May 23. At that time, the former quarterback, 43, joked, «I don’t know if I like you playing Chad Powers. I’m Chad Powers».
Glen didn’t hold back in his response: «Yeah, Chad against Chad, dude. Look, I’m not trying to outdo you, I’m really trying to honor your legacy, but here’s what I’m doing».
The actor vowed to learn Eli’s style as an athlete, to which the former «New York Giants» player said, «All the interceptions, you just learned them?»
During their banter, Eli tested Glen’s football skills, referring to a scene from «Top Gun: Maverick» when he and his partners played a game on the beach.
«We've already discussed this, you never threw a football covered in coconut oil», - joked Glen. As for Glen’s casting choice, Eli jokingly remarked, «I thought that’s why you were chosen for the role of Chad, just because we have similar bodies»
