Glen Powell Explains Why He's Leaving Hollywood and Moving to Texas
Glen Powell and Tom Cruise have the ultimate bromance.
Need proof? The Anyone But You star got real about how his friendship blossomed with his Top Gun: Maverick costar since filming the 2022 action movie.
“It’s the best,” Glen told E! News’ Will Marfuggi of their bond. “He’s such a great friend and such a great mentor and it’s been such a special part of my life.” (For more Glen, tune into E! News Monday, July 15, at 11 p.m.).
His friendship with Tom isn’t the only part of the film that took his breath away. As it turns out, it helped him prepare for his latest flick Twisters alongside Daisy Edgar-Jones.
“Making that movie together was one that changed my life,” the 35-year-old shared. “It really taught me a lot about how to make a big event movie and so many of those lessons on Top Gun were put into Twisters and it really benefitted.”
As for whether Tom and Glen will get to share the screen in another Top Gun follow-up?

“That’s above my pay grade, man.” Glen added to E! “I’m sure those conversations are happening, but you know, Maverick is at the head of those.”
Whether they take off again is still TBD, one thing is for sure: Their friendship is soaring to new heights. Take, for example, at the July 8 London premiere of Twisters, where Tom was on hand to celebrate his pal. As the 62-year-old captioned a snap of them, “Fun night with friends, watching a movie!!”
