Glen Powell Joins Jay Ellis & Danny Ramirez On The Cover Of Men’s Health

Glen Powell is on the cover of the new issue of Men’s Health magazine. The actor is joined by his Top Gun: Maverick costars, Jay Ellis and Danny Ramirez, to promote this new summer movie. Highlights from his interview are below.

On not getting the role of Rooster (played by Miles Teller) in the film: “I felt like I really delivered, and when I didn’t get it, I was absolutely heartbroken. I got the news on July 3rd, and on July 4th, which is pretty much my favorite holiday—I’m a very patriotic dude from a very patriotic family—I was basically in the fetal position the entire day.”

On words he received from Denzel Washington about his career: “This race, Hollywood, it’s a marathon, not a sprint. You’re running your own race. Don’t look in the other lanes. It doesn’t matter how fast somebody else is going, where they’re going, or if they look better doing it. It doesn’t matter.”
