Before establishing himself as one of Hollywood’s prominent leading men, Glen Powell went through his fair share of awkward dating mishaps. During the podcast episode on Thursday, September 25, Powell recounted a memorable night that ended with an unexpected injury to his date. He explained how his attempt at skateboard parkour led to him elbowing his date in the face, resulting in a broken nose.

Describing the aftermath of the incident, Powell mentioned how his date was left bleeding and with a swollen face, deeming the whole ordeal as “gruesome.” Reflecting on the incident, Powell humorously commented that it set the tone for his love life in the near future. The actor also shared that the fallout from the mishap was irreparable and had a lasting impact on their relationship.

Despite the mishap, Powell would later go on to date several high-profile figures in the entertainment industry, including celebrities like Nina Dobrev, Renee Bargh, and model Gigi Paris. However, Powell and Paris parted ways in 2023, with sources citing challenges related to the long-distance nature of their relationship during his filming commitments for ‘Anyone But You’ in Australia.

Following the breakup, Powell found solace and companionship in his loyal canine companion, Brisket. He revealed in an interview with Entertainment Weekly that he got Brisket during the filming of ‘Twisters’ amidst the emotional turmoil of the breakup. The actor shared his desire to become a dog father and how Brisket filled a void in his life during that period.
