Glen Powell has taken over Hollywood one project at a time and now the Twisters star is throwing his next touchdown with Eli Manning. Get it? Because he’s starring in the Hulu series Chad Powers?
The series is based on an Eli Manning sketch from 2022 that featured Manning pretending to be a walk on quarterback during tryouts for Penn State. He was disguised as a man named Chad Powers to try to trick the team into recruiting him and it ended up being one of the funniest things to happen on ESPN. Now, Powell will play Russ Holliday, a disgraced former football star who is trying to make a comeback under a pseudonym: Chad Powers.
