Homework Man
Actor Glen Powell is going back to school in Austin
One of Glen Powell's next roles? Texas Ex.
The Austin native actor – whose latest film, Twisters, is out Friday, July 19 – has taken Hollywood by storm (pun intended) over the past couple of years. But his career isn't the only thing he's focused on.
Powell recently told IndieWire that he intends to go back to the University of Texas at Austin to complete his education. He previously attended the university but left before finishing his degree.
"I'm not going to be sitting in a class with other students on the regular. I'm basically going to be coming back because I have to finish up," he told the publication, adding that he'll be shooting a remake of The Running Man in London this fall, but he will be back for proctored exams.
Powell said UT is letting him "figure it out" with distance learning, including Zooming in for classes. In addition to being in-person for exams, he'll also be back on campus around two or three times a semester.
Powell added that The Running Man director Edgar Wright has been "very nice about letting me finish my degree in the middle of this massive movie."
