It’s his birthday today. I love it when someone hard-working and deserving becomes the new It-Boy. Correction: Glen Powell isn’t an It-BOY. He is an It-MAN. I love how he seems to be really enjoying his moment, humorous about it, ambitious, embracing “old-fashioned” genres like rom-coms and action movies, I love his sense of humor and friendliness. I love that his dog Brisket has an Instagram account. Unfortunately, I hadn’t seen Twisters yet when I wrote about him – at length – on my Substack. Twisters was a blast. I took my niece Lucy and it was so much fun.
Thank you so much for stopping by. If you like what I do, and if you feel inclined to support my work, here’s a link to my Venmo account. And I’ve launched a Substack, Sheila Variations 2.0, if you’d like to subscribe.
