Glen Powell and Nikki Glaser Spark Romance on Golden Globes Red Carpet
Flirtations Shine at the Golden Globes
Glen Powell and Nikki Glaser shared some lighthearted flirtation during the 2025 Golden Globes. Glaser, at 40, made history as the first woman to host the event solo, and she didn’t hold back her admiration for the 36-year-old star of Top Gun: Maverick.
A Playful Exchange
In a recent CNN interview, Glaser called Powell "hot." His response during the Golden Globes red carpet was charming: “Nikki, I feel the same way. You won the genetic lottery (and) you’re funny as hell.” Their playful banter set a light tone for the evening.
Later, Glaser kicked off the ceremony with a sharp monologue that included a playful jab at Sean “Diddy” Combs. Amid her jokes, she teased Powell again, hinting at a potential meeting later that night.
Glen Powell’s First Nomination
Powell made his Golden Globes debut as a nominee for his leading role in Netflix’s romantic comedy Hit Man. He brought his supportive parents, Cyndy Powell and Glen Powell Sr., to share the moment, just as they have at past premieres.
The comedic dynamic between Powell and his parents was on full display during a screening of Hit Man in Austin, Texas, last May.
About Hit Man
Directed by Richard Linklater, Hit Man features Powell as a professional killer who breaks his own code to assist a woman, played by Adria Arjona, escaping an abusive situation. The film has received positive acclaim, with one reviewer praising Powell’s ability to blend humor and depth in his performance.
In the competition for Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy, Powell’s contenders include Jesse Eisenberg, Jesse Plemons, Hugh Grant, Gabrielle LaBelle, and Sebastian Stan.
As the evening unfolded, many were left wondering: will this playful chemistry between Powell and Glaser lead to further collaborations or appearances?
