LOVE LIFE

If it comes along, “hits me in the face” and overwhelms me, I will welcome it with open arms. It’s something I really want. Today I spent time with my grandchildren and I really realized how much I want children. I feel like that phase of life is not that far away but I realize that it is necessary to have a certain type of person by your side to navigate it.”
In the past, the actor has had three important relationships.

THE STRANGE RESEMBLY WITH… CAPYBARAS

TOM CRUISE CONVINCED HIM TO PILOT PLANES AND GO SKYDIVING
Glen Powell has always been fascinated by aviation, love increased during the filming of Top Gun: Maverick, when Tom Cruise gave him flying lessons to become a professional pilot, complete with a card that said “welcome to the skies.”
But not only that, it seems that the actor literally pushed him to try skydiving: “It was only moments before that I found out that Tom had agreed with the crew that I would jump alone the first time and not with another person. But the worst part was that I couldn’t find the tab to pull while I was falling and, despite everything, my first thought was ‘Tom killed me, he must feel so guilty for pushing me to do this'”.
But all’s well that ends well: “In the end I obviously found the tab. I landed at the speed of light but then I launched myself a second time.”
