Glen Powell, Hollywood’s movie star of the moment, issued a “false alarm” on Monday night after learning that a wild dating cannibal story he’s been sharing for years is an urban legend.
His announcement comes after he told it another time to Jake Shane on the influencer’s Therapuss podcast.

“Props to my little sister’s friend who told her this dating story,” Powell posted on X last night. “False alarm. Back rubs are back.”

Powell relayed the “crazy story” to Shane about a girl who went on a date with a “super charming” guy.

As the faux story goes, once she exited the apartment, her skin started itching like crazy. It was so bad that she consulted a doctor who performed a test. The result? “It’s a black market lotion that breaks down skin for human consumption,” Powell claimed on the podcast. “The doctor is like you have to give me this person’s address, and you should call the police. They go to this guy’s house, and he had several bodies in the house.”

No bodies, no cannibal but indeed a wild urban legend that has officially been put to rest once again.
