Glen Powell was born on October 21, 1988, in Austin, Texas, to his father Glen Powell Sr, an executive coach, and his mother Cyndy Powell, a stay-at-home mom. Powell has two sisters named Lauren and Leslie, and the actor is very close with his family. “I have a huge, rowdy Texas crew who gets me in all the right kinds of trouble,” he told Nylon in 2014. “If you are lucky enough to meet them, you’ll figure out quickly why I’m constantly home and that all of my farfetched and seemingly impossible stories about my family are actually all true.”
According to Powell, growing up in a culturally rich city like Austin taught him to appreciate the arts rather than judge them. “People are fearlessly pursuing their passions and doing things just because they want to,” he told Austin Monthly. “That’s always just been part of the fabric of the town.”
Powell attended Westwood High School, where he played lacrosse and football. Years later, Powell’s athletic background would be useful for his action-packed films. “There is a scene where I scale an elevator shaft, sprint across a roof, and run and leap off an eleven-story building. If you aren’t an athlete (and a little crazy), I don’t know how you step into something like that,” he told Nylon.
