Glen Powell Says He 'Puked in the Bushes' After First Watching Hidden Figures Because He Thought He 'Ruined' It

Glen Powell said on the 'Therapuss with Jake Shane' podcast that he thought his performance as John Glenn 'ruined' the 2016 movie 'Hidden Figures' at first.

"I remember watching Hidden Figures for the first time on the Fox lot ... and this was before all the effects were done, the music was in, the sound design ... and I literally left the movie and I puked in the bushes," said Powell on the podcast episode, which was released Wednesday, May 22. Glen Powell as John Glenn, Octavia Spencer as Dorothy Vaughan, Taraji P. Henson as Katherine Johnson and Janelle Monáe as Mary Jackson in Hidden Figures(2016). But fortunately, "once the music gets in there [and] it starts being polished a little bit," he realized his presence in the film wasn't as bad as he'd initially felt it to be.
