Glen Powell’s comments about his disinterest in politics are similar to that of Dwayne Johnson, who in his own Esquire magazine cover story earlier this year said he will no longer speak publicly about politics.
Johnson had already told Fox News in 2024 that he regretted endorsing Joe Biden for president in 2020 because it caused division amongst his fans.
He then told Esquire that he wants to keep the focus solely on his art.
A few months before, Jennifer Lawrence spoke to The New York Times about her own newfound resistance to talking to the press about politics.
This was a dramatic change of pace for Lawrence, who notably spoke out against Trump during his first administration as U.S. president and wrote op-ed after Election Day in which she declared that Trump’s victory meant “the only people that feel safe in America are white men.”
