Actor Sylvester Stallone is known as an action star after his blockbuster film franchises such as Rocky and Rambo. A formidable force in the action genre in the 80s and 90s, Stallone has since aged gracefully but has still stuck to his favorite genre.

Much like his bitter rival in the 80s, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Stallone is also known for his fitness levels and amazing physique. The veteran actor reportedly gave his co-star and Top Gun: Maverick star Glen Powell some unusual advice on how to look good on camera.

Powell was known for his supporting roles in films like The Dark Knight Rises and Denzel Washington’s The Great Debaters until he was cast in The Expendables 3. The actor worked closely with Sylvester Stallone in the film. Powell would go on to star in multiple action films such as Top Gun: Maverick and Devotion.

For his film Sand Castle, the actor starred as Sergeant Dylan Chutsky in the Iraq war-based film. Powell starred along with noted actors such as Nicholas Hoult, Henry Cavill, and Logan Marshall-Greene in the film. The actor reportedly had to gain twenty pounds for the role in only three weeks. 

At such a desperate time, the young actor reportedly turned to the legendary Sylvester Stallone for body-building advice. Powell credits a bucket full of protein powder and an unusual piece of advice from Stallone as his hack to looking well-built on camera. In an interview with Men’s Journal, he said,

“Just get your forearms and traps to bulge and you’ll look massive on camera.”

Powell took the advice and was able to share screen space with the likes of Henry Cavill. Audiences can also see his amazing physique in last year’s blockbuster hit Top Gun: Maverick.

Actor Glen Powell recently gained notoriety due to his appearance in the Tom Cruise-starrer Top Gun: Maverick. The actor starred as Lieutenant Jake Seresin, better known by his sign ‘Hangman’.

Powell reportedly auditioned for the role of Bradley Bradshaw, the role which eventually went to Miles Teller. He was then offered the role of Hangman by Tom Cruise as he was also working on another navy pilot film Devotion. Audiences got to witness the Sylvester Stallone-inspired physique of Glen Powell in the infamous shirtless volleyball scene in the film.

Glen Powell has also starred in dramas such as Hidden Figures, The Great Debaters, and Set it Up. He starred in Richard Linklater’s spiritual sequel to Dazed & Confused, Everybody Wants Some!! He recently worked with the director again in the film Hit Man, in which he is also a co-writer.
