Glen Powell relayed a true dating horror story on a recent podcast appearance. Well, minus the “true” part maybe…
A couple weeks back as part of the promo tour for his new Netflix movie Hit Man, the rising star appeared on the Therapuss with Jake Shane podcast. In keeping with the murder-meets-romance them of his flick, he told a wild story that definitely, totally, 100% really happened to his sister’s friend.

He began:
So good so far? Well…
But she accepts the massage:
That should be the end, right? But here’s where it gets really scary!
WHA!!!
!!!!!!!
Over a week after the pod dropped, a clip of Glen telling the story went viral. Makes sense — Glen tells it well, it’s a spooky one, for sure!
Commenters posted their shocked responses:
But does the story sound familiar at all? It might if you follow creepypastas and urban legends. That one’s been going around for years! And why not? If you like that kind of terrifying stuff, it’s a juicy one! Clearly Glenn really believed the story, which he apparently first heard from his kid sister, whom he said would have to “fact check” him on it after the pod.
However, once the clip started going viral multiple outlets pointed out the story was an oldie, if a goodie. Some version has been told for decades, but according to Snopes there’s never been a case that matches up — which it would since police supposedly busted the guy. So it definitely didn’t happen to Glen’s little sister’s friend! LOLz!
Upon hearing the story was debunked, the Anyone But You alum posted one such article to his X (Twitter) and bemusedly added:
He then quipped:
Ha! Seems Glen was not one of those kids who spent time on the dark

McConaughey was a king of the genre thanks to films like “The Wedding Planner,” “How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days,” “Failure To Launch,” “Fool’s Gold,” and “Ghosts Of Girlfriends Past,” nearly all of which grossed over $100 million at the worldwide box office. But the more rom-coms McConaughey made the less Hollywood wanted him starring in anything else.

Owen Gleiberman Chief Film Critic Next week, on June 7, the entertaining and highly acclaimed geek-goes-undercover-as-contract-killer screwball romantic thriller “Hit Man,” starring It Dude of the moment Glen Powell, drops on Netflix. But this weekend, in case you hadn’t noticed, the movie opened “in theaters.” How many theaters? If you use your hands and feet to count, you’ll have most of them covered. Netflix, the company that did for streaming what McDonald’s did for fast food (made it everyone’s new normal), always likes to make a big show of when it’s playing a movie “in theaters.” It has long amused me to see entertainment journalists get suckered into this public-relations gambit, for the simple reason that so many of them live in New York and L.A., where the tiny number of theaters occasionally playing a Netflix movie tend to be.
