Glen Powell’s Advice to Those Struggling in Hollywood: ‘You Sort of Have to Lie to Yourself’

Making it in Hollywood is no easy task according to Glen Powell, who feels the best way to keep going is to 'lie to yourself.'

“Even at the darkest moments in that town, when I really didn’t have anything happening, you sort of have to lie to yourself, at least a little bit, and act like this is that chapter of the story where things just aren’t going right,” said Powell. Earlier in the interview, Powell acknowledged that having very little going on in a town where importance is based on how booked you are can often feel like the worst thing in the world. Thankfully those days seem to behind Powell, as he’s had two huge hits this year with “Anyone But You” and “Twisters,” as well as a critical darling with his Netflix film“Hit Man.” His next project is the upcoming remake of the 1987 sci-fi action film “The Running Man” from writer/director Edgar Wright.
