The 'Top Gun: Maverick' star declined a photo opportunity, saying the unnamed actor's 'face is toxic.' Who do you think it was?
Glen Powell, the star/co-creator of "Chad Powers," arrives at the premiere of the Hulu series on Thursday, Sept. 25, 2025, at Rose Bowl Stadium in Pasadena, Calif. Chris Pizzello/Invision/AP“I was at a party and there was somebody that had basically been on the ropes in terms of sort of getting canceled,” Powell said during the podcast.
“It was one of those Hollywood parties where there’s like cameras and press and all that stuff.”“I was like, ‘Oh, this is great.’ He came up and he said, ‘Nice to meet you.’ I was like, ‘Oh, dude. Such a big fan,’” Powell said. “And then a photographer said, ‘Hey, can we take a picture of you guys.’“I realized very quickly—I was like, ‘Oh, I don’t know if this is a good idea.’ He clearly clocked that I was like, ‘Oh, this is probably not a good idea,’” said Powell, during the podcast. “And I realized that this guy, his face is toxic. Going out into the world, people are having a visceral reaction to this person in terms of the bad choice they’ve made.”In the series, Holiday is a disgraced college quarterback who disguises himself as Chad Powers to play for a down-in-out southern football team to revive his football career,“He’s not a bad guy. Some of these other people who get canceled…they should lie where they’re shot.”“Russ Holiday is just a guy who made a mistake, he’s not a bad guy,” said Powell, during the podcast. “Some of these other people who get canceled, they should lie where they’re shot.” Powell continues, “In today’s day and age, cancel culture is just a thing where the world that doesn’t let you forget your mistakes. With phones, with TikTok, with Instagram, so many people make mistakes and the world doesn’t let you forget. And I found it to be interesting how people react to those moments.”If you purchase a product or register for an account through a link on our site, we may receive compensation.and agree that your clicks, interactions, and personal information may be collected, recorded, and/or stored by us and social media and other third-party partners in accordance with our
