Glen Powell: From Rumors to Boundaries
7 Oct
Summary
- Powell leaned into Anyone But You romance rumors.
- His father advised him to find the right person.
- He learned to set boundaries and protect his time.

Glen Powell has candidly discussed navigating Hollywood, including the intense speculation around his faux romance with Sydney Sweeney for 'Anyone But You.' The actor admitted he and Sweeney "lean[ed] into" the rumors to promote the film, a decision that reportedly coincided with the difficult end of his relationship with Gigi Paris. He sought his father's guidance, who advised him to focus on finding the right partner, a lesson seemingly applied as Powell is now dating Michelle Randolph.
Beyond personal relationships, Powell has also shared insights from his film career's less successful moments. He detailed the challenges faced during the production of 'The Running Man,' which underperformed at the box office against its budget. Following this, another project, 'How to Make a Killing,' also failed to gain traction. These experiences led Powell to adopt his mother's advice: "Set some boundaries. Protect your time." He has since implemented this by taking breaks, hiring an assistant, and prioritizing his personal time and contacts.
