00:25 I auditioned a bunch.
00:27 I mean, I started when I was 12.
00:29 I auditioned for everything you could possibly imagine,
00:33 and then finally everything sucks,
00:35 and Sharp Objects and HBO happened when I was like 19,
00:39 and that kind of helped catapult,
00:40 and then I did Handmaid's Tale and Leif Frey.
00:42 - Straight to the top.

03:25 My dad lives in Mexico,
03:26 so I can speak Spanish pretty well.

03:56 - A pilot, on screen, off screen, I fly at all.
04:00 - We did this really cool simulator, a helicopter, remember?
04:05 - When we were in the helicopter and you guys were like,
04:07 "Hey, is that a normal sound?"
04:09 And because I fly enough to know
04:11 that it wasn't a normal sound and I found out,
04:13 we were about to crash.
04:14 It was an emergency landing.
04:15 I would have died in a helicopter accident
04:17 and no one would have reported it
04:18 'cause I would have died with Sydney Sweeney.
04:20 - All right, Glenn Powell, eye color.
04:23 - Yes, what's my eye color?

04:26 Blue-green eyes.

04:29 Are they blue?
04:30 - Yeah, you have an out rim of blue and then in is green.
04:33 - The things you learn.
04:34 I thought it was just green.

04:37 (laughing)
04:39 Sydney is the best.
04:41 - Yep, mama Powell, she's very popular.
04:45 I would arguably say the best Powell.
04:47 Why would you not Google Glenn Powell, mom?
04:49 (laughing)
04:51 I don't know, but I'd actually like to meet
04:53 the people that are Googling that on a regular basis.

05:33 - Well, no, I do, but I can't do what,
05:35 like the crazy tricks and all that.
05:36 But I can ice skate.
05:37 Like I could go down to Central Park and go.
05:39 - See, this is why Sydney's like really good at everything.
05:42 Just 'cause you can't do like a triple axel,

05:55 with Ronda Rousey's senseis and I really liked it.

06:25 - Yeah, it's sick.
06:26 - It's really cool.
06:27 And then I have an old Mustang too and a couple others.
06:29 I completely worked on the Bronco, built it.
06:33 It was a manual and unfortunately in LA,
06:38 people aren't the best drivers
06:40 and it's very difficult dealing with that.
06:42 So I had to turn it to an automatic
06:44 and my mom who's standing in the hallway
06:45 will kill me because I did that.
06:46 - It's also not inconspicuous.
06:50 - No.
06:51 - You driving around that, it's like a beacon.
06:54 - My license plate is Hay-Sid.
06:56 (laughing)
06:58 - Not disappearing in that Bronco.
07:00 - Yeah.
07:01 - All right.
07:02 - We're just losing it here.
07:04 Can Glenn Powell sing?
07:06 - No.
07:07 - Yes he can, he's lying to you.
07:08 - My little sister, Leslie Powell, amazing singer.
07:11 - She is an amazing singer, but he can sing.
07:12 - But she stole all that talent.
07:14 - That's so not true.
07:15 - Do you do any singing in this current movie?
07:17 - Oh yeah, I think it's a good example
07:19 of the fact that I can't.
07:20 - This is not a good example of the singing.
07:22 - Natasha Bedingfield's unwritten.
07:24 - No one can sing that other than Natasha.
07:26 - Glenn Powell, brisket.
07:28 - My son, my son brisket.
07:31 - We love brisket.
07:32 - My newly adopted puppy, he's adorable.
07:36 It's the best decision I've ever made.
07:37 - He's out in the hallway actually right now.
07:38 - He's out in the hallway.
07:39 If you can feel that adorable love emanating into the room.
07:42 Glenn Powell, can you arm me?
07:46 - You'll never lift that down.
07:49 - Honestly, I don't know who started this,
07:50 but this has become, this has gotten out of hand.
07:53 Apparently I look like a capybara.
07:54 Do you know how this thing started?
07:57 So that picture of me like looking high on the red carpet,
08:02 I wasn't invited to the Hidden Figures premiere,
08:06 but I told them that I actually just happened
08:09 to be in New York, so I stopped by and I groomed myself
08:12 and like was just a little too excited to be there.
08:15 So what happens, you look like a capybara.
08:17 I groom myself like a rodent.
08:19 Glenn Powell, cowboy hat.
08:21 I've got a pretty solid cowboy hat collection,
08:23 so I'm definitely known for, I'm definitely known for it.
08:27 Do you have a cowboy hat?
08:28 - Yeah.
08:29 - Okay, all right, I was just making sure.
08:31 Glenn Powell, Top Gun workout.
08:34 - Oh God.
08:35 - Yeah, it actually didn't work out,
08:36 it was just coconut oil.
08:38 You just lather yourself and things just look better.
08:40 I'm not sure what to say.
08:41 - He's fooling everybody, he works out 24/7.
08:44 - Oh, I had to, I'm not doing any more movies
08:46 with my shirt off, I'm done.
08:47 I've learned a lot today about myself and about Sydney.
08:52 The Russian was new, forgot about the Russian.
08:56 - You forgot about the Russian?
08:57 - Yeah, I did, I did.
08:58 There's a lot, I mean the ice skating thing, you know.
09:01 I'm feeling pretty unaccomplished here.
09:04 - No, you're hangman, don't forget that.
09:06 - Glenn Powell mom, just--
09:07 - Glenn Powell mom, just look up Glenn Powell mom
09:09 or Google OG Glenn Powell.
