Glen Powell: Texas Heart, Hollywood Heat - Longhorn Legend Scores On and Off the Field

Glen Powell BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

Glen Powell’s week has had a distinctly Texas twang with headline-making moments on both field and screen. The biggest story dominating Glen’s recent headlines comes courtesy of his deep University of Texas roots and his enduring affection for Longhorn football. According to People magazine and Good Morning America, Powell made a surprise video appearance during a University of Texas team meeting and awarded a walk-on linebacker, Marshall Landwehr, a full scholarship, praising his grit and perseverance. The entire room erupted as Landwehr’s teammates rallied around him, with Longhorns coach Steve Sarkisian calling it the epitome of team spirit. Twitter and college football forums lit up with fans praising Powell’s role in the emotional moment, cementing his status as a Texas superfan and bringing palpable joy to both the team and its supporters—this act is being widely circulated on social media and sports news as a gesture with real heart that transcends the usual celebrity cameo.

On the career front, Glen generated equally notable buzz by confirming on the Happy Sad Confused podcast, according to IMDb and IndieWire, that a third Top Gun movie is moving forward faster than most suspected. Powell revealed he has a date in mind to begin pre-production but, in true blockbuster fashion, kept further details under wraps. The anticipation for Top Gun 3 continues to drive global interest, especially since Top Gun: Maverick has resurged as a streaming phenomenon, climbing back into the top ten across more than fifty countries, as Collider notes.

Business and industry speculation has also swirled around Glen in recent days—social chatter reflects excitement for another romantic comedy collaboration after Anyone But You became a surprise smash. However, as reported by CBR, Powell and his co-star Sydney Sweeney are fully booked, dimming any immediate hope for a sequel, yet keeping their growing marquee value in the public consciousness.

Lastly, Glen’s own star power remains undimmed by nostalgia. Nicki Swift and The Hollywood Reporter spotlighted how his transformation from child star to leading man is still viewed as a Hollywood lesson in career savvy, especially with Maverick’s $1.49 billion worldwide box office impact and his critical role in shaping the Hangman character alongside Tom Cruise. Powell’s blend of humility, ambition, and Texan pride is resonating everywhere from locker rooms to late-night talk shows, making him one of the most followed Hollywood personalities of this summer.
