Glen Powell has casually shrugged off a new comparison to Ryan Gosling.

The Wrap reported that an unnamed Hollywood producer said about the 35-year-old Anyone But You star: ‘Unlike an actor like Ryan Gosling whose appeal is mostly limited to female audiences, Glen appeals to both females and males.’

Powell reshared the quote on social media platform X, adding his two cents.

He replied, ‘Gosling is a legend. I’m just Glen,’ referencing Gosling’s 2023 Barbie ballad I’m Just Ken.

Along with making the Ryan contrast, the producer also said, ‘Glen Powell is most definitely an up-and-coming movie star in the sense that audiences now go to movies to see him.’
