Glen Powell made a surprise appearance on the field during a college football game on Saturday, October 12
Glen Powell faced the ire of college football fans during a surprise appearance at the University of Georgia’s recent game against Mississippi State.
The Top Gun: Maverick actor was there filming scenes for his upcoming Hulu series, Chad Powers, a comedy that follows a disgraced college quarterback as he walks onto a struggling Southern football team. Social media footage showed the entire stadium booing Powell’s fake football team as they ran onto the field. It’s unclear whether or not the crowd was told to boo the “football players” for the sake of the scene.
As for Saturday’s actual football game, the Georgia Bulldogs wound up defeating the Mississippi Bulldogs 41 to 31.“We’re both diehard college football fans. When we saw Eli as Chad Powers, we knew that was the way into a big, fun story about this world,” Powell and Waldron said in a joint statement to Variety when the show was announced in February. “We’re excited to be part of this team, and can’t wait to get Chad in the game. Think fast, run fast.
“The love for Chad Powers has surprised me in spectacular ways,” Eli told Variety. “I played 16 years in the NFL, but now when I’m in a restaurant or walking through an airport, it’s not uncommon for fans to scream, ‘Hey Chad!’ I’m so excited to team up with my friends Glen Powell, Michael Waldron and Omaha Productions to continue to tell the Chad Powers story and see what he does next.”
