For some time, Glenn Powell starred in TV shows and films, but until the 20s of the last century he became the name of the household. It was with "Top Gun: Maverick", released in 2022, Powell climbed to the corresponding status of the Starwar film; Since then she has starred in a hit movie after another, like "Everyone except you" in 2023 and "twisters" in 2024. In 2025, he will be starred in the "running man", Film adaptation of Steven King's incredible novel in 1982 with the same name.

Before Powell could climb to such heights, he had to deal with countless rejection. One rejection that Stung was especially about 2016, when Disney and Lucasfilm demanded actors playing a young Jan Solo in the movie "Solo: Story of Starwells War". Compete against Other potential "solo" stars such as Ansel Elgort, Miles Teler and Dave FrancoPowell was destroyed when he dropped the ball at the last minute and the role of Alden Ehreneich instead.

"Now I can joke about it, (but) I blew that last audition," he said GQ UK in the 2024 profile. He added: "Haunted when you blow those moments."

While everyone is involved in rejection during their careers, rejection in Hollywood has a unique sting. One single role can change the actor's whole life. And when you lose a role you really wanted, we might remind you of the loss of billboards and headquarters for weeks, even months in the end. Powell's method of avoiding envy is to try to keep Zen attitude to the whole situation. As he said, "it was always a foreign drive to continue.

It did not help the young Han Solo be a role with a ton of luggage. Powell may have been destroyed when he blown up his final audition, but maybe the best audience was never asked to compare him with young Harrison Ford.

To do things for difficulty Powell it would be that he doesn't actually look like a young Ford. Of course, make-up and confidence can go a long way, but it would be difficult to believe that Powell, with its different facial features, should really be Jan Solo 10 years before we see "Episode IV-New Hope".

The lack of Ford's similarity of Powell also injured him several years before With his audition for "Cowboys Against Aliens", Where Powell tried for the role of the son of Ford's character. That time, Powell lost to a young sex dan. This was during a particularly difficult origin in Powell's career, which recently audited several times for "Friday night lights" without anything to show it. Powell remembered that he was struggling with self -doubt at this time, he was constantly wondering if he would ever get his big break.

"The strange duality of business is that you have to be ultra -competitive, but at the same time it is not in your power," Powell explained. "I have to be comfortable to say," I did my best, it shouldn't have been. "
