Glen Powell may be on a roll with his film career, but that hasn’t stopped him from completing his undergraduate degree at the University of Texas at Austin. While promoting his new movie, Twisters, the 35-year-old actor spoke with IndieWire on how he will balance work with school.
“I’m not going to be sitting in a class with other students on the regular,” Glen clarified while discussing his next movie The Running Man. “I’m basically going to be coming back because I have to finish up, but I’m going to be shooting The Running Man in the fall.”
Noting that he’ll be “going to be in London” at that point, the Top Gun: Maverick star added that he is “going to be going back [to class] for proctored exams.”
“So, they’re letting me figure it out [with] distance learning,” he explained. “And I’m obviously going to be coming in, Zooming in for classes and whatnot, but I have to be back for the proctored exams. So, we’re figuring that out for two or three times a semester, I’ll come back for all my stuff.”
Before the Top Gun sequel catapulted the actor to stardom, Glen attended UT for one year. He left and moved to Los Angeles in order to pursue acting.
This isn’t the first time that the Hitman star has talked about his education. In May, he sat down with The Hollywood Reporter and pointed out that finishing college is “really important to [his] mom, and it’s more of an emotional thing for [him].”
“Plus, I’m so close, I can taste it,” Glen added, before sharing more about his struggle to find continuous work in the entertainment industry. “I’ve worked really hard for a long time, putting things together and just trying to get them in shape enough for people to give a s**t,” he said.
