Yahoo Movies Anyone But You's Glen Powell reveals favourite movie he's ever made
Glen Powell has opened up about the film he's most proud of.
Powell is starring in Anyone But You alongside Euphoria's Sydney Sweeney. The actor, who came to fame opposite Tom Cruise in Top Gun: Maverick, plays Ben in the film, the arch nemesis of Sweeney's character Bea.
The film has a classic rom-com formula, with Powell and Sweeney pitted against each other in the beginning and eventually... no spoilers.

Powell is no stranger to rom-coms, having previously starred in Everybody Wants Some back in 2016, which the actor says is his favourite movie.
Speaking to Variety, Powell explained: "I’m just trying to make movies that I’d want to see, and I think Everybody Wants Some!! will be my favourite movie I’ve ever made in my whole life.
"There’s not going to be a more charmed, lovely experience. When that movie ended, I sobbed as I was shaving off my thin moustache.

"When it comes to making rom-coms, there’s no better way to show up on set than just being goofy and trying to make people laugh—and I come from a very goofy family," he added.
"Anybody that knows me knows that my family is a bunch of goofballs. So I feel very comfortable in that space, making fun of myself a bit."
While he had a great experience filming Everybody Wants Some!!, Powell said he "almost died" while filming a nude scene for Anyone But You.
In the scene, Powell's character has to strip off at the edge of a cliff, while he has a large spider removed from inside his shorts.

Speaking about filming the dangerous scene, Powell said: "Taking your clothes off on the side of a cliff in a hurry is not safe either.
"Nobody talks about that safety issue on set, where I almost died falling off a cliff taking my pants off too fast. But it’s a really fun scene, so it was all worth it."
"You just have to grip it and rip it on a scene like that," he added. "You know you’re not going to leave that filming day looking cool, so you just have to embrace it."
Anyone But You is now playing in US and UK cinemas.
