So, that’s what all the dating rumors were all about. The trailer for Sydney Sweeney and Glen Powell’s upcoming movie, Anyone But You, has finally been released, giving us a glimpse of their undeniable onscreen chemistry in this romantic comedy.
What’s it about?
In this edgy comedy, Bea (played by Sweeney) and Ben (played by Powell) find themselves pretending to be a couple after unexpectedly crossing paths at a destination wedding in Australia. They had a terrific first date, but something happened that cooled their fiery attraction, leading them to pretend to be a couple instead.
Are Powell and Sweeney a real-life couple?
No, they are not. However, the remarkable onscreen chemistry between them sparked rumors that their relationship extended beyond the movie. Despite these speculations, both actors were involved in other relationships at the time. Sweeney is engaged to Jonathan Davino, a restaurateur from Chicago, and they continue to stand together amidst the rumors. On the other hand, Powell and his model girlfriend Gigi Paris parted ways during this period. Although Paris unfollowed Sweeney on social media, insiders claim that their breakup had nothing to do with Sweeney.
An insider revealed, “Gigi and Glen’s relationship had its ups and downs even before their split. The distance caused by his filming commitments, especially Top Gun, was a constant challenge. While she was in Australia, they mutually decided to end things.”
Another source added, “Their breakup was not due to any infidelity. Gigi and Glen have different careers that often keep them on opposite coasts. When she left, they were still on good terms.”
What have Powell and Sweeney said?
Despite the online rumors, Sweeney remains unaffected, although she admits that she sometimes feels overwhelmed by the constant speculation since her rise to fame in Euphoria.
“It’s a rom-com. That’s what people want!” she confidently stated in an interview with Variety. “Glen and I don’t really pay attention to all the noise. We enjoy each other’s company and have immense respect for one another. He’s a hard worker, and I’m a hard worker.”
Both actors showcased their playful banter during a press event at CinemaCon 2023 in Las Vegas, emphasizing their great camaraderie.
“We love seeing ourselves on the big screen,” joked Powell.
“Oh, please, Top Gun,” quipped Sweeney, playfully referring to Powell’s role in Top Gun: Maverick.
“I love it when she calls me that,” he affectionately replied.
When will it be released?
Anyone But You is set to hit theaters on December 22nd.
