Glen Powell Finally Addresses Viral Theory About Him And Sydney Sweeney

The "Anyone But You" co-stars sparked widespread rumors of an on-set romance while filming the rom-com in Australia last year.

Glen Powell and Sydney Sweeney certainly know how to sell a rom-com.

The duo sparked widespread rumors of an on-set romance while filming “Anyone But You” (2024) and delivered seemingly real flirtation during its promotion. In an interview Tuesday with The New York Times, however, Powell confirmed it was all a sham — to sell tickets.

“The two things that you have to sell a rom-com are fun and chemistry,” he told the outlet.

“Sydney and I have a ton of fun together, and we have a ton of effortless chemistry,” Powell continued. “That’s people wanting what’s on the screen off the screen, and sometimes you just have to lean into it a bit — and it worked wonderfully. Sydney is very smart.”

Sweeney was certainly invested in their chemistry as an executive producer and told the Times she was “on every call” about the film with the marketing department. Her playful banter with Powell at CinemaCon last year certainly helped cement the romance narrative.
