Well, that was awkward.
The Hollywood Reporter mistook “Top Gun: Maverick” star Glen Powell for Justin Hartley on the red carpet at Sunday’s 2024 Golden Globe Awards.
“Glen Powell has arrived for tonight’s 2024 #GoldenGlobes ceremony,” the Hollywood Reporter posted on its X account (formerly Twitter).
The caption was alongside a photo of Hartley dressed in a tan tuxedo and a black bow tie.
Hartley, the former “This Is Us” star, is launching his new drama series, “The Scout,” Feb. 11 after the Super Bowl on CBS.
Powell quickly jumped on the gaffe.
“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,” he playfully retorted on X.
THR’s post seems to have vanished shortly thereafter, though it did post two tweets about Harley’s arrival with his wife, Sofia Pernas.
“Sometimes I feel beat up by it. It’s hard to sit back and watch, and not be able to stand up for yourself,” she told Variety about the rumors.
Powell, for his part, just ended his promotional tour with Sydney Sweeney for their film, “Anyone but You.” The co-stars often appeared flirty in social media posts, but denied they were dating off camera.
“Glen and I don’t really care,” she continued. “We have so much fun together, and we respect each other so much; he’s such a hard worker, and I’m a hard worker.”
She said of the alleged affair headlines: “We talk all the time, like, ‘That’s really funny.’”
Powell also spoke out about the claims in an interview with Men’s Health.
“When all that stuff happened, you know, publicly, it felt disorienting and unfair. But what I’m realizing is that’s just a part of this gig now,” he said in November 2023.
