Hilary Duff can't picture Lizzie at 40 — but she did share the age that might finally bring her back.
Glen Powell stopped by The Drew Barrymore Show on November 13 to promote his new film The Running Man — and host Drew Barrymore also got to meet his parents for the very first time.
During their conversation, Barrymore turned to Powell’s mom, Cyndy Powell, with a sincere question. “Do you have any parenting advice for me? Real serious right now,” she asked.
Powell’s mom’s response was simple, but it hit home for many fans.
“Love him, feed him, and make memories together,” she said. “We did so many things together just to enjoy life. Things don’t matter — moments together matter.”
Fans in the comments on Barrymore’s Instagram couldn’t get enough of Mama Powell’s wisdom.
One fan wrote, “Things don't matter - moments together matter" Love it Mama Powell! 🥰.” Another said, “Powell family, adopt me 😍.” A third chimed in writing, “I love Drew’s energy and this parenting advice!!!! ❤️❤️❤️.”
Powell, who stars as Ben Richards in his new film, spoke to Sharp Magazine about taking on the intense, emotionally charged role.
“We all have fire in our belly and I’ve been doing this a long time. I’ve had a lot of people that have tried to push me down. I hate a bully. It’s definitely my trigger as a person. And really, that’s what Ben Richards hates the most as well.”
“I’m mindful in a world sometimes that’s determined to get reactions out of me. I’m a pretty patient person. I tend to be steady as a rock. Even though you want to unleash, even though you want to show a different side, sometimes, you just grit your teeth and you just smile through it. But it’s pretty fun to be in Ben Richards’ shoes — a guy who really lets his anger fly pretty quickly,” he continued.
Beyond the emotional release, the movie required a level of physical commitment Powell hadn’t experienced before. “I’d never been out in front of an action movie before. I’ve gotten to be a part of some big action films, but haven’t really been in [something like this.]”
“You’re in Ben Richards’ perspective this entire movie,” he continued.
“Life and death is around every corner. The physical gauntlet that I knew I’d have to go through was a really wild and challenging thought. So I was really excited to take on that challenge as well.”
