Glen Powell Gets Peyton Manning's Support at 'Chad Powers' Premiere, Talks About His Involvement in Hulu Series

Chad Powers wouldn’t exist today without the Manning brothers and Peyton Manning stepped out to support Glen Powell at the Hulu series premiere!
The 36-year-old actor and the 49-year-old former football player posed for photos together at the red carpet event on Thursday night (September 25) at the Rose Bowl Stadium in Pasadena, Calif.
Also stepping out for the premiere were Glen‘s co-stars Steve Zahn, Toby Huss, Perry Mattfeld, Wynn Everett, Frankie A. Rodriguez (with boyfriend Joe Serafini), Clayne Crawford, Colton Ryan, Xavier Mills, and Quentin Plair.
Peyton and his brother Eli Manning are both executive producers on the series, which is inspired by Eli‘s skit in which he originated the Chad Powers character.
“One of the coolest things about the Manning boys is that they are extremely involved,” Glen told ABC. “What makes this show different is we wanted this thing to be funny and heartfelt but to have the football be legit.”
Here’s an official synopsis of the show: “When bad behavior nukes hotshot QB Russ Holliday’s college career, he disguises himself and walks onto a struggling Southern football team as the talented, affable Chad Powers.”
In the series Glen wears a series of prosthetics to transform into the character. The series hits Hulu on September 30th with two episodes. New episodes stream weekly on Tuesdays. Watch the trailer now!
