For a lot of 2023, eyes had been on Anybody however You co-stars Glen Powell and Sydney Sweeney, as they appeared fairly flirty whereas selling the movie. Romance rumors swirled across the two mates, with each taking part in coy, however they later admitted to only leaning into the dynamic to promote the movie. That each one didn’t sit nicely with Gigi Paris, Powell’s girlfriend on the time, he opened up concerning the scenario earlier this yr. Now, Powell is addressing these feedback and sharing the recommendation his buddy Tom Cruise gave him.
Gigi Paris appeared on the Too A lot Podcast this summer time, throughout which she shared her perspective on the Anybody however You scenario. In the course of the interview, Paris stated that she was “shattered” over having to look at the hypothesis surrounding her then-boyfriend and his co-star stoke up relationship rumors. The mannequin stated that she needed to “stroll away” after feeling disrespected by her former accomplice’s actions. Paris went on to say that she additionally felt wronged after her former beau and his co-star confirmed their “PR scheme.”
Throughout a current interview with GQ, Glen Powell mentioned his former girlfriend’s feedback. Powell didn’t again away from the notion that he wanted to promote his hit 2023 romantic comedy, which grossed nicely over $100 million on the world field workplace. Nevertheless, Powell, with out explicitly naming his ex, additionally shared a perspective that runs counter to what she stated:
I’ll at all times don’t have anything however love for her and respect for her. Everyone’s at all times going to have their very own narrative on issues and all that. And she or he’s welcome to it. Relationships are actually onerous. And when two individuals break up, they every go to their very own brunch and they’ll every inform their very own narrative.
As has been reported, the Hit Man star started relationship Gigi Paris in 2020, they usually publicly confirmed their romance in 2021. He and Sydney Sweeney started selling Anybody however You in earnest on the 2023 iteration of CinemaCon, the place they turned heads. Because the movie promotion went on, indicators started to emerge that Paris had break up from Powell, and that was seemingly confirmed when Paris shared a cryptic IG submit within the spring of 2023. Throughout that point, Sweeney was additionally notably engaged to Jonathan Davino, a key element that added to the chatter. (Davino and Sweeney additionally broke up earlier this yr.)
Whereas Glen Powell navigates not simply the fallout from the romance brouhaha however fame as an entire, he has at the very least one main star in his nook – Tom Cruise. Powell went on to clarify to GQ that Cruise – who he famously labored with on High Gun: Maverick – supplied some sage recommendation, and it sounds prefer it actually resonated with him:
He principally stated, ‘Hey, it’s going to get actually, actually loud. It’s your job to only flip the amount down. Simply keep in mind you may have your hand on that change. You will have your hand on the power to show up that noise or flip it down.’ And actually simply turning down the noise and trusting your personal intestine has been an actual godsend for me.
Glen Powell has praised Tom Cruise as a mentor on a number of events and described how he’s realized a lot from the Mission: Unimaginable icon. At this level, it looks like Powell’s method to motion pictures (and Hollywood basically) has been partially formed by Cruise. So I’d think about that whether or not it involves the Sydney Sweeney publicity scenario or some other fame-related matter, Powell goes to commit that recommendation to coronary heart.
Followers of Glen Powell can examine him out in his newest movie, The Operating Man, which opens in theaters on November 14 as a part of the 2025 film schedule.
