00:00Who is this? Oh, this is this is my little son, Brisket.
00:06Welcome to Ms. Mojo. And today we're counting down our picks for the most lovable,
00:10entertaining and or endearing moments of Glenn Powell's career.
00:13And in it was a note from Tom that said, welcome to the skies.
00:19And he does that to people.
00:23Number 10, acting in Spy Kids 3D Game Over.
00:27In the 2000s, Glenn Powell was just another kid with a dream of starring in movies.
00:31He got his first break thanks to director Robert Rodriguez.
00:34Welcome to the Robocon. I need to get to level 2.
00:37Well, you came to the wrong place. This is the arena of misfortune.
00:40If you want to get to level 2, you're going to have to battle them out.
00:43How do I do that? I'll explain it to you when you get up there.
00:46For the third installment in the Spy Kids series, the actor played a small role in the 3D adventure.
00:51It ended up being a sign that he had some serious potential.
00:54Even if he doesn't have much dialogue, he does well with the material.
00:58Wait a minute. Am I fighting?
01:01Her.
01:05It's a performance that's energetic and well-suited for this fantasy world.
01:09If you saw this as a kid, you might need to go back and watch it again for Powell alone.
01:13You sure know how to fight.
01:16Congratulations and, uh, keep the suit.
01:25Number 9. Showing off his favorite YouTube videos.
01:28Sitting down with his contemporaries, Glenn Powell showed the group what he likes to watch on YouTube.
01:32This particular video highlighted the power of the website to both engage and bring people together.
01:37I mean, I saw, like, Shaun of the Dead as a kid, but how I became to appreciate him, I
01:41was like,
01:41why do I like this guy's filmmaking style so much?
01:43It was this, like, this video series where he breaks everything down musically.
01:46Powell chooses something from the channel Every Frame of Painting,
01:49with an emphasis on film theory and the work of Jackie Chan.
01:52From this short video, it is apparent that the performer is a diehard cinephile,
01:57and not just an average celebrity.
01:59This thing will basically break down, like, just play this one real quick.
02:02This breaks down why Jackie Chan's action is better than other people's action.
02:07He's able to turn this segment into something of a short film class.
02:10With his charisma, the star livens up this interview with a worthy recommendation to all viewers.
02:16But you'll see how Jackie will also use the environment, so it kind of gamifies all the action,
02:21so it kind of, like, incorporates comedy and all that stuff.
02:23But this will break down, like, Spielberg, Kurosawa, Scorsese, all the stuff to, like,
02:28all of their filmmaking styles.
02:29Number 8.
02:30Co-writing and starring in Hitman
02:32Most people know him as a charismatic performer,
02:35but Glenn Powell can also help out behind the scenes.
02:38He made several movies with Richard Linklater before he added Ryder to his list of credits.
02:43I'll let you know a few of my secrets.
02:44I got different ways.
02:46Hitman allowed Powell to play to his strengths,
02:48excelling as both an actor and storyteller.
02:51It's a part that requires lots of shape-shifting and even some meta moments.
02:55While helping out the authorities, his character has to impersonate people.
02:58There are enough twists and turns here that we would love to see what the star writes next.
03:03My would-be employers ran the gamut,
03:05evenly divided between men and women,
03:08young and old, rich and poor.
03:15Receiving a Golden Globe nomination for his performance,
03:18the artist delivered one of his finest works yet in a complicated role.
03:22Now, the one thing I know for certain is your reality will change over time in ways you cannot even
03:27imagine.
03:28And I urge you to be open for this transformation.
03:33Number 7.
03:33The Sugar We're Going Down video
03:35Glenn Powell might be a leading man today,
03:38but he was a goofy kid once just like the rest of us.
03:40This is never more apparent than in one of his old video projects.
03:44During his SNL monologue,
03:46he mentioned being a filmmaker in his youth
03:47and revealed one clip set to Sugar We're Going Down.
04:04He's comfortable enough with himself to show this embarrassing footage to a big audience.
04:08Watching the younger Powell sing along,
04:10we can't help but laugh and be nostalgic for pop punk as well.
04:20He even received an offer from Fall Out Boy to direct one of their music videos.
04:30Number 6.
04:31Beach Football in Top Gun Maverick
04:33Back in 2022,
04:35Glenn Powell starred in Top Gun Maverick.
04:37It was praised by audiences and critics alike,
04:40along with giving the movie industry a big boost.
04:42You're snug on that perch,
04:45waiting for just the right moment.
04:49That never comes.
04:54I love this song.
04:57While he had a supporting part,
04:59Powell made a case for himself as a movie star alongside other younger talents.
05:03His role as hangman plays a pivotal part and saves the day in the end.
05:08Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen.
05:10This is your savior speaking.
05:12Please fasten your seatbelts,
05:13return your tray tables to their locked and upright positions.
05:17And prepare for landing.
05:19There's also a famous scene on a beach,
05:22hearkening back to the volleyball scene in the first film.
05:24Whether he's got his shirt on or off,
05:26the performer makes the most of the screen time,
05:29and helps to create a modern classic.
05:31The overall experience even inspired him to get his pilot's license.
05:35And over the course of the entire experience,
05:37I got enough hours to where I basically was really close to a pilot's license,
05:41so I just finished it, and now I'm flying around everywhere.
05:45Number five, hosting SNL.
05:47After a cameo on Sidney Sweeney's episode,
05:49Glenn Powell finally got to host Saturday Night Live himself.
05:52The performer showed off his comedy chops in a variety of silly sketches.
05:56That's right.
05:57You know, ever since we were two kids at summer camp,
06:00back when we would be playing tennis,
06:04shooting basketball,
06:05we used to love to swim, we were swimming.
06:10Playing many fun characters,
06:12the hitman lead easily blended into the sketch comedy environment.
06:15He was supposed to host years before,
06:17but the COVID-19 pandemic had other plans.
06:20But we don't kill our enemies.
06:21We gag them with blunt force.
06:29This episode also came with a few cool surprises for other people as well.
06:33The actor wanted to share the wealth,
06:35inviting a UPS delivery man as his special guest.
06:38The driver took the stage with the Top Gun Maverick star,
06:41with their strange connection coming full circle.
06:43It just goes to show that Powell has a kind heart along with acting talent.
06:47But if I have learned anything,
06:49it is that the best things in life don't happen overnight.
06:53And no one knows that better than UPS.
06:57Number four.
06:58Explaining his mom's cameo in Chad Powers.
07:01It turns out that this man isn't the only actor in the family.
07:04Throughout his career,
07:06Glenn Powell invites his parents to star in his projects.
07:08For the TV show Chad Powers,
07:10his mom was especially invested in getting her cameo right.
07:13It said, the description of the character said,
07:16there's a woman with no apparent injuries,
07:19but she's just moaning a lot.
07:21I was like, that's Mama Powell.
07:23All right, we're getting right there.
07:24This involved paying careful attention to her role as a woman at a hospital.
07:28When she sent her son a video of her ideas,
07:30she might not have guessed he'd be watching it in public.
07:33It's a real role.
07:34And she took it very seriously.
07:36So she said, Glenn, I'm not going to let you down.
07:38I'm going to really prepare for this.
07:40So my mom was practicing moaning all the time.
07:45This led to an awkward situation with some strangers
07:48and his mother's loud noises.
07:49We're just happy that it all worked out fine
07:51and nobody died of embarrassment.
07:53I was in an elevator and I opened up a video
07:56that my mom sent me of her moaning.
08:00And just imagine what that sounds like.
08:03And all of a sudden, the person in the elevator kind of looked at me
08:06and I was like, oh, no, no, no, it's sorry.
08:07It's a video from my mom.
08:08And they're like, wait, what?
08:09I was like, all right.
08:11Number three, loving his dog, Brisket.
08:14Along with being a great actor,
08:16Glenn Powell is a serious dog lover.
08:18The star speaks highly of his canine companion, Brisket,
08:21whenever he gets the chance.
08:22Let's just get a little fluff in action.
08:26Wow.
08:27Julian, our costume designer,
08:29got him a custom running man suit.
08:31When traveling or working,
08:32the performer makes sure to take good care of his furry friend.
08:35Their cute relationship sets a high bar for all other pet owners to match.
08:40With the chemistry they seem to have,
08:41they better be an onscreen team in more of Powell's films.
08:44The real star of the show,
08:46dog on a train, Brisket Powell,
08:48finally time for his cameo.
08:49The actor even has a few funny stories about the pooch's lovable energy.
08:53Just when you think he's done it all,
08:54he reminds you that he is a rescue dog dad.
08:57I actually got him while I was shooting Twisters in Oklahoma.
09:00Oh, really?
09:00This is an Oklahoma rescue dog?
09:02Oklahoma, no, he's a,
09:03I got him in LA.
09:04He's a Hollywood dog, but he,
09:06Oh, he's a pro.
09:07He shoots on location.
09:08He's a pro.
09:08Number two, going back to college.
09:11Glenn Powell seems to be in almost every movie these days,
09:14but that hasn't stopped him from going back to school.
09:17He revealed that he's been taking classes at the University of Texas at Austin.
09:21Going back to University of Texas, you're getting your degree.
09:24Yeah.
09:25Many years ago,
09:26Powell enrolled at the same university and dropped out before completing his degree.
09:30The actor seems dedicated now to correcting that and finishing what he started.
09:34University of Texas means a lot to me.
09:36I didn't want to get the honorary degree where they just sort of say,
09:41Hey, like you're in the club.
09:42I'm like, no, I want to earn it.
09:43He is certainly keeping himself busy.
09:45And he also shows that it's never too late to go back to school.
09:48We'll see whether or not he ends up putting his degree to good use.
09:52For me, getting that degree is,
09:54is the end of a wonderful chapter that I started back in 2007.

10:17Number one, being iconic in rom-coms like Set It Up.
10:21Teaming up with his Everybody Wants Some co-star,
10:24Glenn Powell made another splash in the underrated Set It Up.
10:27He and Zoe Deutsch played assistants that go from rivals to lovers.
10:31We are free.
10:32The world's our oyster.
10:33We're free.
10:34I'm from a Zeus.
10:35You too.
10:37Are you taking that?
10:38Taking that four?
10:40Got to waste that high five.
10:41This movie came at the end of the 2010s
10:44and during a time when the rom-com's future remained unclear.
10:47It seemed like the genre was starting to disappear
10:49during the era of superheroes and other traditional blockbusters.
10:52You're a sore winner.
10:54And you used too many exclamation points.
11:01And yet...
11:07This movie and later work like Anyone But You
11:10showed that audiences were still interested in the concept.
11:13All it takes is the brilliant casting of a man ready-made for those kinds of roles.
11:18I'm not out of shape.
11:19I've been to 295, 300 once.
11:21I just don't do cardio.
11:22Oh my god, you're hot girl fit.
11:25I'm not hot girl fit.
