Glen Powell, is that you?
The “Twisters” star, 35, looked unrecognizable in the first set photos from his latest project, a Hulu comedy series called “Chad Powers.”
Powell stepped out while filming the show in Atlanta on Tuesday, and his transformation for the role is shocking.
The Hollywood heartthrob disguised himself with a long blonde wig, a prosthetic nose and fake teeth and mustache.
He wore a blue Nike shirt with the number “200” painted on the front in white. Powell also had on a pair of yellow shorts and carried a black duffel bag over one of his shoulders.
The photos of Powell went viral on social media — and fans didn’t hold back with their reactions.
“I’m scared,” one person wrote on X (formerly Twitter).
“omg they turned him ugly,” another person said.
“who tf did his hair????” someone else wrote.
A fourth tweet read, “Looks like a blonde David arquette.”
“Love ya Glen but it’s ok to say no sometimes,” another user wrote.
Others joked that Powell looks like Amanda Bynes’ character in “She’s the Man.”
“Chad Powers” is based on an Eli Manning ESPN+ skit from 2022.
The skit, which Manning, 43, created as part of his family’s Omaha production company, follows the retired NFL star disguising himself as Powers to try out for the Penn State football team.
The seven-minute video has over 8 million views on YouTube.
In the show inspired by Mannings’ skit, Powell is playing quarterback Russ Holliday who gets kicked off his team due to bad behavior, but then disguises himself as Powers to join a struggling Southern football team.
Powell, who also co-created and is executive producing the series with Michael Waldron, will star opposite Steve Zahn, Perry Mattfeld, Frankie A. Rodriguez, Quintin Plair and Wynn Everett.
“We’re both diehard college football fans,” Powell and Waldron said in a joint statement to Deadline when the series was announced in February.
“When we saw Eli as Chad Powers, we knew that was the way into a big, fun story about this world. We’re excited to be part of this team, and can’t wait to get Chad in the game. Think fast, run fast.”
Manning is also serving as an executive producer.
“The love for Chad Powers has surprised me in spectacular ways,” Manning said in a statement to Deadline. “I played 16 years in the NFL, but now when I’m in a restaurant or walking through an airport, it’s not uncommon for fans to scream, ‘Hey Chad!’ I’m so excited to team up with my friends Glen Powell, Michael Waldron and Omaha Productions to continue to tell the Chad Powers story and see what he does next.”
Powell discussed the role with the former New York Giant on “The Eli Manning Show” back in May.
“I don’t know if I like you playing Chad Powers,” Manning joked to the “Top Gun” star. “Like, I’m Chad Powers.”
“Yeah, Chad v Chad, man,” Powell responded. “Look, I’m not gonna try to outdo you, I’m really gonna try to honor your legacy, but this is what I do.”
“Chad Powers” does not have a premiere date.
