\n\tGlen Powell<\/a> recently appeared on Jake Shane\u2019s \u201cTherapuss\u201d podcast and detailed an awkward encounter he had at a Hollywood party when he was asked to take a photo with a canceled actor. Powell, who is currently promoting his Hulu comedy series \u201cChad Powers<\/a>\u201d and Paramount\u2019s upcoming action movie \u201cThe Running Man<\/a>,\u201d did not name the celebrity.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI was at a party and there was somebody [there] that had basically been on the ropes in terms of sort of getting canceled,\u201d Powell explained. \u201cIt was one of those Hollywood parties where there\u2019s like cameras and press and all that stuff. This person had made some of my favorite movies and I was like, \u2018Oh, this is great.\u2019 He came up and he said, \u2018Nice to meet you.\u2019 I was like, \u2018Oh, dude. Such a big fan.\u2019 And then a photographer said, \u2018Hey, can we take a picture of you guys.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThis person was recently canceled and it was not good,\u201d Powell continued. \u201cI was a fan of their work, but not a fan of their choices. So I was kind of just being nice. But then, when they wanted to take a picture with you, I realized very quickly \u2014 I was like, \u2018Oh, I don\u2019t know if this is a good idea.\u2019 He clearly clocked that I was like, \u2018Oh, this is probably not a good idea.\u2019 And I realized that this guy, his face is toxic. Going out into the world, people are having a visceral reaction to this person in terms of the bad choice they\u2019ve made.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe story led Powell to comment more generally on cancel culture in Hollywood. He even drew a connection to \u201cChad Powers,\u201d which stars Powell as a quarterback who gets canceled and then finds redemption by disguising himself on a new team as a different person.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cRuss Holiday is just a guy who made a mistake, he\u2019s not a bad guy,\u201d Powell said of his character. \u201cSome of these other people who get canceled, they should lie where they\u2019re shot\u2026 In today\u2019s day and age, cancel culture is just a thing where the world doesn\u2019t let you forget your mistakes. With phones, with TikTok, with Instagram, so many people make mistakes and the world doesn\u2019t let you forget. And I found it to be interesting how people react to those moments. Do they double down, do they take accountability, do they believe in conspiracy theories? Just having a character learning to say \u2018I\u2019m sorry\u2019 is a really beautiful thing.\u201d<\/p>\n
