A Hollywood heartthrob looked completely unrecognizable while filming a new comedy series for Hulu in a straggly, blonde wig and large, prosthetic nose.

The actor has made appearances in numerous blockbusters over the past few years – such as this summer’s hit Twisters and also Top Gun: Maverick in 2022.

Filming for the upcoming show titled, Chad Powers, officially kicked off this week on Tuesday in Atlanta – and the leading star was spotted on set in a goofy disguise for the big role.

The actor is none other than Glen Powell, 35 – who also seemingly opted for fake teeth as well as a mustache to complete the overall makeover.

He sported a pair of comfy, yellow shorts as well as a dark blue, Nike shirt with the number ‘200’ printed on the front.

Powell strolled outside underneath the warm sunshine as he easily carried a large, black duffle bag over his right shoulder.

Glen portrays the character of a disgraced quarterback who ‘disguises himself as Chad Powers and walks onto a struggling Southern football team to revive his football career,’ per an IMDB synopsis. 

The premise of the comedy series is based on an Eli Manning sketch that previously aired on ESPN+, per Deadline. 

Chad Powers will be directed by Tony Yacenda and also stars Quentin Plair, Wynn Everett, Perry Mattfeld, Frankie A. Rodriguez and Steve Zahn.

The Hit Man actor not only took on the leading role, but also co-created the series and is an executive producer alongside Michael Waldron.

Eli Manning is also one of the executive producers for the Hulu series – which will consist of 30-minute episodes for viewers.

In a joint statement released in February, both Powell and Waldron expressed, per Variety, ‘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.’

‘We’re excited to be part of this team, and can’t wait to get Chad in the game. Think fast, run fast.’

Eli – who is the former quarterback for the New York Giants – also stated, ‘The love for Chad Powers has surprised me in spectacular ways.’

‘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!”‘

Manning added, ‘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.’

Eli portrayed the character of Chad Powers in the skit which was also uploaded to YouTube through Omaha Productions – and currently has 8.1 million views.

The entertainment company was founded by his brother and former NFL quarterback, Peyton Manning, in 2020.

Along with filming his latest series, Glen has been keeping busy and recently celebrated the release of his film, Twisters, which became a box office success.

The movie premiered in theaters last month in July – and has currently raked in $335.9 million in the box office on a budget of $155 million.

He starred alongside Daisy Edgar-Jones, Anthony Ramos, Maura Tierney and Brandon Perea.

During a recent interview with Screen Rant, Powell discussed a kiss scene with his co-star Daisy that was cut from the movie by executive producer, Steven Spielberg, due to it being ‘too cliché.’

Glen jokingly told the outlet, ‘I’m taking it very personally. I’m sure you’ve seen the behind-the-scenes, where I did get to kiss Daisy Edgar-Jones, which really is all that counts. [Laughs] We had a great time, and I’m really proud of the movie.’

He also shared his thoughts on the response from fans over the cut scene and stated it, ‘shows that people care, which is really great.’

‘I just love how excited people have gotten about that movie, and Daisy and I send each other the TikToks and the gifs. There’s so much funny stuff coming out of it. It’s fun.

‘That’s what summer movies are about. It creates this conversation and cultural moment, and people dress up and do the thing. It’s been really awesome. So, kiss or no kiss, everybody’s a winner,’ the actor continued.

However, in a separate interview with Collider, both Glen and Daisy seemingly hinted that the kiss scene was omitted due to the possibility of a sequel.

The Normal People actress said, ‘I think there’s something really wonderful about it feeling like there’s a continuation. This isn’t the end of their story. They’re united by their shared passion for something.’

Powell then added, ‘I also think that this movie is not about them finding love. It’s returning Kate to the thing that she loves, which is storm chasing. So that’s what you have at the end of the movie.

‘They share this thing, and her passion is reinvigorated, and her sense of home is reinvigorated.’

He further expressed, ‘I feel like a kiss would be sort of unrepresentative of the right goal at the end of the movie. And it is a good Spielberg note. It’s why that kid is still in this game. It’s amazing.’
