Glen Powell is not only a great actor, but a great storyteller as well – at least after guesting in theTherapuss Podcastwhere he relayed a very insane first date story. Romantic dates are supposed to be memorable, and this particular narrative will forever haunt the readers.
Whether this is true or not, it would definitely make an intriguing movie. Besides, what kind of a horror fan doesn’t love a first date-gone-wrong story turned murder mystery with a side dish of cannibalism?
Glen Powell Shares Terrifying First Date Story With A Cannibal
Top Gun: MaverickstarGlen Powellrecently appeared onTherapuss Podcastto share a story that happened to a family friend. At this point, it cannot be called a happy ending, but somehow the subject of the story survived a near-death experience.
My little sister was friends with a girl who went on a date with a guy. They’re hanging out, and he’s super charming. They have a great night, and she goes back to his apartment that night, and he’s like, ‘Hey, can I give you a massage?’ As she got back to his apartment, she started getting weird vibes.
The little sister’s friend started feeling something was off, but she agreed to the massage. While the guy was massaging her shoulders, she could not shake that odd energy. “She’s like, ‘I gotta get out of here.’ It’s a little weird, he’s like, ‘Please don’t leave.’ She leaves,” continued Powell.
The next day, the girl started getting an itchy sensation on her skin. She went to the doctor, and after doing some tests, they found out that the lotion used by the guy she went on a date with was from a black market “that breaks down skin for human consumption.”
The actor remarked, “This man was rubbing lotion on her body to eat her.” He said the doctor urged the girl to hand him the perpetrator’s address and that she should call the police. Finally, when they arrived at the guy’s house, Powell said, “He had several bodies in the house.”

True or not, this is a good warning for everyone to take necessary precautions when going on a first date. And while he’s at it, Powell should have considered this as a concept for his next project.
Fans Got Traumatized After Hearing Glen Powell’s Cannibalism Story
