He replied, “Gosling is a legend. I’m just Glen,” referring to Gosling’s 2023 Barbie ballad, I’m Just Ken.

That comes after Glen’s wild transformation for the new satirical series Chad Powers caused a stir among fans last week, with some mistaking him for Tom Cruise.
Hulu released an official photo of the actor in the upcoming comedy show, a day after DailyMail.com gave a sneak peek of the unrecognizable star on set.
A joint post with Glen, ESPN, Hulu and Omaha Productions included the caption, “Think fast, run fast. Glen Powell is #ChadPowers in Hulu’s new comedy series.”
Powell is co-creator of the upcoming half-hour comedy series with Michael Waldron.
The program was inspired by an ESPN+ sketch by former football star Eli Manning, 43, who will executive produce the show with Glen and Michael.
The recent social media post also featured the original sketch, starring Eli as Powers.
The comedy’s official synopsis reads: “When bad behavior destroys the college career of successful QB Russ Holliday, he disguises himself and joins a struggling Southern football team as the talented, suave Chad Powers.”
Glen was spotted on set this month wearing a messy blonde wig and a large prosthetic nose.
He also sported a mustache when filming began in Atlanta, Georgia.
The Hollywood hunk disguised his appearance by wearing a blue Nike short-sleeved sports shirt, an armband and yellow shorts.
