After A Producer Said More People Like Glen Powell Than Ryan Gosling, The Twisters Actor Fired Back With An A+ Comment

As a long-time movie buff and follower of Hollywood’s dynamic scene, I must say that Glen Powell’s meteoric rise over the past year has been nothing short of breathtaking! From his blockbuster hits like “Anyone But You,” “Hit Man,” and the highly anticipated “Twisters” to his notable roles in “Top Gun: Maverick” and “Devotion,” it’s clear that Glen is making a name for himself as a versatile actor with immense appeal.

2022 was a breakthrough year for Glen Powell, marked by numerous successes in the film industry. The romantic comedy “Anyone But You” garnered significant box office success after its December release, with an extended version premiering on Valentine’s Day. Additionally, his action-packed Netflix movie “Hit Man” has been a hit, and his upcoming project “Twisters” is set to be released in 2024. All these accomplishments have significantly increased Powell’s popularity, following a busy 2022 that included the releases of “Top Gun: Maverick” and “Devotion”. While some might argue that Powell has more fans than fellow heartthrob Ryan Gosling, Powell politely disputed this claim with a well-spoken response.

In a piece for The Wrap regarding Glen Powell’s role in the reboot of Stephen King’s “The Running Man,” an anonymous producer characterized Powell as a “rising cinematic star who draws audiences to the theaters specifically to watch him.” They further noted that unlike actors such as Ryan Gosling whose popularity primarily caters to female viewers, Powell is attractive to both male and female fans. In response to this statement, Powell shared his thoughts on social media platform X (previously known as Twitter).

Gosling is a legend. I’m just Glen.

Man, let me tell you about a fantastic moment from last year’s Barbie movie! Remember when Ryan Gosling’s character, Ken (or Beach Ken, if you will), sang “I’m Just Ken”? That song was written by Mark Ronson and Andrew Wyatt, and it became quite the sensation – both in the film and beyond. It even earned an Academy Award nomination for Best Original Song! Gosling even performed it at this year’s Oscars, although some might say it came close to being a disaster.

Instead of arguing about who’s more popular in Hollywood between Ryan Gosling and Glen Powell, it’s refreshing to see the latter advocate for the former using a clever Barbie reference. Such camaraderie might just pave the way for them working together someday. Imagine if we could see these two in a comedy or action flick! That would be an absolute cinematic success, and I mean it in the sense of having a theatrical release, not just streaming.

Of course, if news breaks about a movie featuring Glen Powell and Ryan Gosling, we’ll make sure to share it with you. Meanwhile, aside from the mentioned film “The Running Man”, Powell has other upcoming projects like “Huntington” and the TV series “Chad Powers”. You can catch these shows with a Hulu subscription. As for Gosling, he’s due to appear in “Project Hail Mary”, set to hit theaters on March 20, 2026.
