I do, in fact, want to talk about bleach-blonde Glen Powell

Glen Powell is the man of the moment. No one is questioning that. So why not take the time to appreciate the bleach-blonde look he’s sporting for his next role?

Look, things are not great in the world right now, and sometimes, we just want to look at pretty things! Right now, that includes Powell’s new hair. While doing a Q&A for his film Hit Man moderated by Christian Slater, Powell posed for pictures with fans and looked every bit the movie star he has become. But let’s go back to this blonde thing.

Am I a blonde girl now? (I mean, technically, my hair is dyed blonde but I’ve never been that into blonde men.) That seems to be thrown out the window now though, because of this new look … well, I’m not mad about it.

As one of the hosts of The Powell Pod, it should not surprise you that I love an image of Glen Powell but the actor is one of the hardest working individuals out there right now. He is also incredibly talented, so it all compounds into him being one of the more fascinating members of the internet’s obsessions. It shows that, sometimes, the collective hive mind of the internet actually has taste.

There are the obvious “Oh is this for BLANK” tweets but for the most part, my favorite thing about the blonde reveal is that everyone online just can’t stop talking about his hair. As a dyed blonde, I have to respect it when someone takes the plunge to become a blonde babe! The hair does seem to be for Chad Powers, the new Hulu series based on the Eli Manning sketch but hey, at least we’re living in a world with blonde Glen Powell, right?

We all just love a Glen Powell moment

Part of the joy of social media is moments like this. Whenever your favorite celebrity or the It Boy of the moment is at an event, everyone collectively celebrates it. Now that Powell is doing “For Your Consideration” screenings for Hit Man, he’s out and about and that means fans are waiting for more pictures of blonde Powell.

It is truly and honestly hilarious to see how people talk about it online because I love that many think blonde Glen Powell has the power to save them.

No really, the pictures can (and have) made the world a better place.

Others decided to reference other pop culture moments, like Pride & Prejudice, while talking about Powell’s new hair. Personally, I love that, in this situation, I’d be Mr. Darcy.

The reality is that if Glen Powell posted a picture of himself just simply sitting somewhere, we’d all find ways of celebrating it. It is just the power that he currently has over the internet. But it does help that I love a blonde moment and can’t stop yapping about how great I think Powell is as an actor.

So if you haven’t, take the time today to celebrate Glen Powell’s blonde look.
