Glen Powell stripped off his shirt and dished on his fitness regimen and those Sydney Sweeney, 26, romance rumors for Men’s Health.
The Top Gun: Maverick star, 35, stripped down and flashed his chiseled physique in the photos.
In the interview that accompanied the sizzling photos, Powell – who headed back to Australia to reshoot some scenes for his upcoming rom com – talked about the rumors that he and his 26-year-old Anyone But You co-star.
‘When all that stuff happened, you know, publicly, it felt disorienting and unfair,’ he said of the rumors of the affair that sprouted when the two exhibited serious on-set chemistry.
‘But what I’m realizing is, that’s just a part of this gig now,’ he added.

And there was some fallout from the rumors – he and his girlfriend of three years, Gigi Paris, split up.
The whole situation made the Set It Up actor realize that dating while famous is a whole new beast.
‘If you talk to a girl or something like that, and you’re like, ‘We have a really great connection, we’re having a really great interaction,’ and then they ask you for a selfie, it’s like, ‘Oh…,” he explained.
But Powell has figured out the kind of partner he’s looking for for the long term and said it has to be someone who can deal with his busy career.
‘On a romantic level, you gotta find a teammate who is down for that adventure, down for that uncertainty, down for that thing,’ he said.
‘It’s a lot to deal with. Honestly, I really try to be a great partner. When I love, I love hard. I also understand that the speed and uncertainty of my life is a very hard thing to put up with,’ he admitted.
The Devotion actor trained hard for his stripped down cover shoot for Men’s Health.
His trainer, Nick Mitchell, detailed what it took to get the chiseled look Powell sports in the magazine.

Mitchell struck a balance between lifting heavy weights to add muscle and strength and the smaller exercises that carve muscles.
Powell trained four days a week hitting arms, abs and shoulders first and then take a day off. He then trained his chest and back and took another day off and then did a leg day.
The Hit Man actor kept his diet on point too. For breakfast he had a sandwich made with sweet potatoes, eggs, kale and hot sauce.
However, he admitted that he skips breakfast sometimes and has a big lunch or dinner after working out. And when he cheats, ice cream is his go to snack.
