Glen Powell Learnt The Art Of Being Comfortable With N*dity
One of the most difficult aspects of being on the big screen is to be completely comfortable with exposing one’s body in front of the camera. While many Hollywood stars have looked naturally at ease being nked, Glen Powell confessed that he had to learn on the job and develop a comfort level through experience. In an interview withEntertainment Weekly, theAnyone But Youactor spoke of how he approached ndity in romantic comedies.
“Over the course of my life and career, I’ve learned [to be comfortable with it]. I was the kid at the pool that didn’t want to even take his shirt off. As I’ve gotten older, I’ve realized that there’s a time in your life and your career where this is the moment to do those things. And as a rom-com leading man, you are supposed to get taken down as much as humanly possible.”
Powell went on to add that he was willing to play the silly, goofy leading man with a perfect body in rom-coms that required him to strip down multiple times. Having said that, the actor also stated that he would not accept getting n*de without any valid reason for his character to do so.
