Canceled Actor Asked to Take a Photo Together and Things Got Awkward: ‘His Face Is Toxic’ and ‘This Is Probably Not a Good Idea’

Rapidly rising star Glen Powell recently appeared on Jake Shane’s “Therapuss” podcast and detailed an awkward encounter he had at a Hollywood party when he was asked to take a photo with a canceled actor. He did ot name the celeb.
Powell is currently promoting his Hulu comedy series “Chad Powers” and Paramount’s upcoming action movie “The Running Man
“I was at a party and there was somebody that had basically been on the ropes in terms of sort of getting canceled,” Powell explained. “It was one of those Hollywood parties where there’s like cameras and press and all that stuff. This person had made some of my favorite movies and I was like, ‘Oh, this is great.’ He came up and he said, ‘Nice to meet you.’ I was like, ‘Oh, dude. Such a big fan.’ And then a photographer said, ‘Hey, can we take a picture of you guys.’”
The story led Powell to comment on cancel culture in Hollywood. He even drew a connection to “Chad Powers,” which stars Powell as a quarterback who gets canceled and then finds redemption by disguising himself on a new team as a different person.
“Chad Powers” debuts Sept. 30 on Hulu.
