Glen Powell may be Hollywood’s golden boy right now, but his journey wasn’t always smooth sailing — or safe. On set of The Running Man, he recalled a wild stunt story from Expendables 3 that nearly went sideways.
With his trademark Texan grin, Powell laughs about it now, but back then? Not so funny. Explosions, chaos, and an “oops” moment that could’ve ended his career early. The anecdote is a perfect blend of his humility and humor — proof that even rising action stars have a few battle scars.
Colbert’s reaction seals it: “You survived Stallone — you can survive anything.”
Here’s the clip that’s half adrenaline, half therapy:
