Glen Powell, the 35-year-old charismatic actor known for his roles in “Top Gun: Maverick” and “Hidden Figures,” recently opened up about some heartfelt and humorous advice he received from his parents. Appearing on The Jennifer Hudson Show on Wednesday, June 5, Powell shared the invaluable love advice imparted by his parents, Cyndy and Glen Powell Sr., who have enjoyed over 40 years of wedded bliss.

The Secret to Long-Lasting Love
During his appearance on the show, Powell reflected on the enduring love of his parents and the wisdom they’ve passed down. “You know they do give me love advice ‘cause I do think love surviving that long in this world is really tough,” Glen said. “I think you do have to have some tricks.”

Powell emphasized the one piece of advice that stood out: “I think for them the thing that they always tell me is, ‘You gotta find somebody with a sense of humor.’” He continued, “Life is inevitably gonna have highs and lows but you always have to have somebody that can see the silver lining, the bright side of things and just the humor whether it’s good or bad.”

A Heartwarming Tribute to His Parents
In November, Powell took to Instagram to share a touching tribute to his parents. He posted a carousel of photos featuring the trio at the Jefferson Memorial in Washington, D.C., where his father had proposed 40 years earlier. His caption read, “Quick trip to the foot of the Jefferson Memorial…where 40 years ago my dad proposed to my mom. Happy Anniversary, you two. Lucky to have your love in my life every day.”

A Family Known for Humor
The Powell family’s sense of humor is legendary. At a special screening of Powell’s movie Hit Man in May, his parents playfully trolled him by holding up cardboard signs behind his back on the red carpet. Cyndy’s sign read, “STOP TRYING TO MAKE GLEN POWELL HAPPEN,” while Glen Sr.’s sign added, “IT’S NEVER GONNA HAPPEN.”

Powell explained the prank to Entertainment Tonight: “Well, my family — always my mom and my dad — are known for kind of trolling me a bit. I don’t read tweets, but my parents read tweets — so if you’re talking s—, know that my parents are reading those tweets.” He added, “They thought that was going to be a funny idea so I loved it. Even though they troll me, they support me in every way.”

Keeping Him Humble
In February, Powell humorously responded to an E! News article about his mother’s efforts to keep him grounded. The story was titled “Why Glen Powell’s Mom Described Him as a ‘Little Douchey.’” Retweeting the article on X (formerly known as Twitter), Powell joked, “Anyone have good nursing home recommendations? I feel like it’s time.”

Strong Family Bonds
Powell’s close relationship with his parents is evident in their frequent public appearances together. They accompanied him to the Sundance premiere of Hit Man back in January, showcasing their unwavering support and strong family bond.

Conclusion: Embracing Humor in Love
Glen Powell’s story is a testament to the importance of humor and support in maintaining strong, loving relationships. The advice from his parents, who have thrived together for over four decades, serves as a guiding light for Powell as he navigates his own romantic journey. As he continues to captivate audiences on screen, Powell’s grounded and humorous approach to life and love, inspired by his parents, will undoubtedly keep him shining bright in Hollywood.
