‘The Business At Large Was Skeptical’ Of Anyone But You, But Glen Powell Reveals Why He And Sydney Sweeney Boldy Dove Into The Rom-Com Space Anyway



Glen Powell and Sydney Sweeney hit it big last year with Anyone But You. The romantic comedy was credited with revitalizing the genre after many years of rom-coms not attracting much business at the box office. Participating in the film was a bit of a risk, especially with stars just starting to make names for themselves in Hollywood. Thankfully, both actors took the risk and it ended up being a surprise success. However, the movie didn’t have an easy path getting there, and Powell recently recalled the skepticism the duo faced.

The Texas-born star discussed his meteoric rise to fame and his roots with Sharp Magazine. During the chat, Glen Powell also discussed the romantic comedy genre, which has been good to the actor. He garnered a lot of attention after starring in the Netflix hit Set It Up, which eventually led to the industry seeing the actor as a leading man and success for Anyone But You. When the latter came along, it felt like the right time for a big studio rom-com. Still, not everyone in Hollywood felt that way, making studios less than confident in the project. He said:

The business at large was skeptical of what that movie was and where it could go.
