Glen Powell Jokes About Justin Hartley Being Mistaken for Him on Red Carpet

Glen Powell reacted after Justin Hartley was mistaken for him at the 2024 Golden Globes red carpet.

The Anybody But You star, 35, took to social media on Sunday, January 7, to share a screenshot from a media outlet that referred to Hartley, 46, as Powell in their post.

“I think this is the perfect time to announce that ⁦@justinhartley and I will be starring in the most boring body-swap movie of all time,” Powell quipped via X (formally Twitter).

This apparently isn’t the first time that Powell and Hartley have been mistaken for each other. Powell also “liked” a post which referenced a past interview where he recalled being called Hartley by fans.
