Glen Powell’s Parents Showed Up on His Red Carpet With Signs Trolling Him: ‘Stop Trying to Make Glen Powell Happen’ and ‘It’s Never Gonna Happen’


Glen Powell's parents showed up to the "Hit Man" premiere with signs telling the press to stop trying to make their son a star.

Glen Powell remained the king of grassroots publicity at a Hollywood screening of his new Netflix movie, Richard Linklater’s “ Hit Man.” The leading man hit the red carpet at the event accompanied by his family, but his mother and father decided to troll their son with signs directed at the press line that read: “Stop trying to make Glen Powell happen” and “It’s never gonna happen.” Every time Powell appears in a movie, be it Netflix’s “Set It Up” or Tom Cruise’s blockbuster “Top: Gun Maverick” or Sony’s rom-com “Anyone But You” with Sydney Sweeney, the press can’t help but say he’s got bona fide star power and is the next big thing. “Hit Man” is coming to Netflix this summer on the shoulders of the blockbuster success of “Anyone but You,” which became a surprise box office sensation thanks in part to Powell and Sweeney’s infectious publicity tour.
