Glen Powell’s Prosthetic-Packed College Football Comedy ‘Chad Powers’ now streaming on Hulu
Fans of football, comedy, and disguises, take note: Hulu’s new show, Chad Powers, is about to become your next obsession. Actor Glen Powell, known for his roles in Top Gun: Maverick, recently discussed his immersive transformation into undercover college quarterback Chad Powers on Good Morning America. The show, inspired by Eli Manning’s 2022 Penn State prank, goes all out with prosthetics, comedy, and authentic football vibes.
Powell spends a full hour in the makeup chair to become Chad Powers, with prosthetics on his forehead, nose, cheeks, and lips, along with custom-made teeth. This dedication not only wows viewers but also adds depth to Chad’s character, whose fictional dad was a Hollywood makeup artist. The authenticity doesn’t stop there—football legends Eli and Peyton Manning serve as executive producers, ensuring that the on-field action feels genuine.
Filmed at Georgia State University in Atlanta, Chad Powers promises laughs and heartwarming moments, with Powell and Michael Strahan sharing behind-the-scenes anecdotes about the show’s production. Powell, a passionate college football fan, jokes about the idea of trying out for the NFL, hinting that a call from the league might go straight to voicemail.
Mark your calendars for September 30, when Chad Powers premieres on Hulu, offering a winning combination of comedy and sports that will appeal to both football enthusiasts and sitcom fans.
