Glen Powell recalls weird encounter with fan who eats photos of his face

Glen Powell has opened up about a disturbing encounter with a woman who eats pictures of his face.

The 37-year-old actor was stunned to learn about the antics of TikTok creator @mynameismonique - who has vowed to munch on pictures of him every day until she is cast in one of his films or TV shows as an extra - and couldn't believe such a "liability" had found her way onto the red carpet for the premiere of his movie The Running Man.

In a comedy actor roundtable for The Hollywood Reporter, Glen told fellow stars Harrison Ford, Riz Ahmed, Owen Wilson, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II and Zach Braff: "There's a woman in London who has been printing out pictures of my face for the last 80 days and has eaten my face every day. Literally will eat my face until I give her a role in a movie.

"I didn't know this was a thing until it was described to me while I was on the red carpet. They're like, 'Hey, the girl that eats your face is on the red carpet.' I go, 'What are you talking about?'

Amazed, Zach asked: "How did she get red carpet access?!"

Glen replied: "That's what I was like. 'Guys, come on, this is a real liability.' "

And that wasn't the Chad Powers star's only unsettlnig experience with a fan.

He said: "I did have somebody ask me to sign a photo that was like a family photo that there's no way they would have access to.

 

"So, I'm sitting there like, "Where did you get that?"

Riz said: "That's scary."

Owen added: "Whoa, you've had some really chilling encounters."

Elsewhere during the discussion, Glen opened up about how freeing it was to go out in public wearing his Chad Powers prosthetics - but insisted it won't become a "lifestyle" for him.

He said: "There's something really fun about it - you're putting on prosthetics and doing something a little crazy. The buy-in of the show is kind of wild, but there's something, as an actor, about the freedom of getting away from your face for a bit and just really, really swinging for something. But it's not going to be a lifestyle. You're not going to see me go off the reservation and full method."

Monique - who began her challenge in June 2025 - shared a video of herself meeting Glen on her TikTok account last November as he walked down the red carpet.

After the Top Gun: Maverick actor signed a photo for her, she took a bite out of it, and Glen then looked to the camera and said: "This is savage."
