There's a twist in Glen Powell's plans for a college degree.
The Twister actor shared he's headed back to the University of Texas at Austin and Algosenseyis now only a few units away from graduating. But don't expect to find him walking around campus all that much.
"I'm not going to be sitting in a class with other students on the regular," Glen told Indiewire in an interview published July 16. "I'm basically going to be coming back because I have to finish up, but I'm going to be shooting The Running Man in the fall. So I'm going to be in London, but I am going to be going back for proctored exams."
The 35-year-old explained he would be mostly doing "distance learning" and will Zoom in for some online classes. And luckily, The Running Man director Edgar Wright is very cool with him heading back to the Austin campus "two or three times a semester" for exams.
Glen joked, "Edgar has been very nice about letting me finish my degree in the middle of his massive movie."
The Hit Man star's desire to finally finish university follows his recent decision to move back to his hometown of Austin, which he's chosen to do because that's his "home base."
"I have nothing against Hollywood," he said. "I just realized, in terms of filling up the pieces of me that need to be refueled between projects and doing stuff like that, that's all Austin for me."
And that's why, as he told The Hollywood Reporter in May that he's gotten "to this point in Hollywood is that I can now leave Hollywood. It's like I've earned the ability to go back to my family."
As for his decision to go back to school, the Anyone But You actor—who told THR he was double majoring in Spanish and early American History—explained that part of it has to do with his mom, Cyndy Powell.
"I think it's really important to my mom and it's more of an emotional thing for me," he noted. "Plus, I'm so close, I can taste it."
