Glenn Powell He had a strong reaction when watching Hidden Figures the first time… but it wasn’t a completely happy one – as he admitted he threw up after leaving a rough cut of the film.
The actor appeared on “Therapy with Jake Shane” podcast this week and got real about starring in the 2016 hit biopic…saying he went completely white after watching an early screening.
GP – who played a real astronaut John Glenn In the movie – he says he watched the movie before the effects or music were put in, which is a very stripped-down version… and he really thought he ruined the movie.
Powell says he left the room feeling like he had dishonored the memory of the real women who helped put America on the moon during the 1960s — while also making fun of all the hard work of his female colleagues… and got so overwhelmed by it that he vomited in the bushes in the Fox District .
Glenn says the extra aspects that the first film lacked made the film a lot better in the end… so maybe he flipped too early.
Looks like he and his stars have finally done it… “Hidden Figures” was a critical and commercial success, scoring a 93% on Rotten Tomatoes while earning over $230 million at the box office. It also received three Academy Award nominations – including Best Supporting Actress Octavia Spencer.
Powell’s new movie “Hit Man” is available to stream now on Netflix… and we hope he keeps his breakfast down after watching this movie. 🤢
