Glenn Powell vs Ryan Gosling: What exactly Is The Debate About?

Glenn Powell and Ryan Gosling made news headlines recently when an unnamed producer praised both actors highly, comparing Powell to a rising star and noting that Gosling's appeal mainly attracts female audiences. The producer's viral comment caught the attention of the Twisters star, who had a funny response to contribute to the Powell vs. Gosling argument.

Ryan Gosling began his career as an actor 24 years ago with a minor role in the film Remember the Titans in 2000. The well-regarded film helmed by Boaz Yakin and featuring acting veteran Denzel Washington, slightly boosted Gosling's appeal for his future dramatic characters. Now, the actor is recognized for his impressive credits and awards, showcasing his skills as a versatile actor in a variety of film genres.

Powell's recognition didn't arrive until later, but the actor has also demonstrated his talent. He has become highly in demand as an actor in recent years due to his successful movies Hit Man and Anyone But You. Nevertheless, the discussion among fans was ignited by comparing the celebrities as the unknown producers favored Powell when it came to favoritism.

In the interview with The Wrap, the producer mentioned that Powell has reached the height of his stardom, as audiences now specifically watch movies for him. Nevertheless, the producer contrasted his fame with that of Gosling, stating, "While Ryan Gosling's popularity is primarily among female viewers, Glen's appeal is to both males and females."

Powell, using his considerable charm, skillfully reacted to the comparison by gently criticizing the producer. Posting on his X account (previously known as Twitter), the Top Gun: Maverick actor referred to Gosling as a legendary figure. Gosling is renowned. On X, he quoted Gosling's famous line from the blockbuster Barbie directed by Greta Gerwig in 2023, saying, "I'm just Glen." Gosling was nominated for an Academy Award for portraying a version of Ken in the movie Barbie. He was previously nominated for an Academy Award for his work in Ryan Fleck's successful social drama Half Nelson and Damien Chazelle's popular film La La Land.

Despite the strong appeal and charm of both actors, Gosling has climbed to the top of the ladder by portraying immersive roles in various genres. Gosling has covered a wide range of genres, from crime thrillers like The Place Beyond the Pines to action-packed films like Drive, romantic movies like The Notebook and Crazy, Stupid, Love, comedic roles in The Nice Guys, and the unforgettable sci-fi Blade Runner 2049. The actor collaborated with various acclaimed directors in the industry such as Denis Villeneuve, Russo Brothers, and David Leitch.

Regarding Powell, he is currently experiencing a rapid ascent in his acting career. His most recent projects, such as the 2022 film Top Gun: Maverick and the highly praised biographical war film Devotion, along with Richard Linklater's 2024 action comedy Hit Man and Lee Isaac Chung's disaster film Twisters, demonstrate that the Australian actor is not going anywhere. His romantic comedy Anyone but You in 2023, where he starred with Sydney Sweeney, emerged as one of the highest-grossing films of that year.

The discussion about the stars has been effectively addressed by Powell with his witty and charming remark, creating a positive buzz and demonstrating his humility and deep admiration for Gosling. As of writing the piece, the Canadian actor has not yet given a response to the debate.
