Whether you liked him as "Hangman" in Top Gun: Maverick or as Tyler in Twisters, Glen Powell has become a household name, this mysterious blend of charm, confidence, and style makes the squinty-eyed boy from Texas stand out.

But what exactly constitutes this "It" factor, and how can you achieve it? Here's what we can learn from Glen Powell. 
Child-like charm
Powell radiates movie star charisma, but not in the way you might expect. 

He's not a diva, arrogant, or overly serious — in fact, it's the opposite. Powell has a childlike charm that makes him funny, quirky, and incredibly approachable. He’s the kind of guy who lights up the room, drawing people in with his energy and sense of humor.

If you want to capture that "It" factor, don't take yourself too seriously. Be light-hearted, laugh often, and let your personality shine. People will naturally gravitate toward you, feeding off the joy and positivity you project.

Keep things simple
We can't neglect Powell's physique. His body is a testament to his dedication to fitness and health. A strong, healthy body boosts your confidence and enhances your overall appearance. 

But just like his personality, Powell doesn't take things too seriously like tracking all his macros and meals. He believes in making things manageable. He keeps staple lean meats in his fridge, like salmon and chicken. 

He’s known to skip breakfast in favor of a hearty lunch and enjoys smoothies packed with fruits, peanut butter, and protein powder. 

When in doubt, remember the golden rule — Keep It Super Simple. His philosophy is simple: eat foods you enjoy that fuel your body, and minimize what makes you feel bad.

Do what you love in the gym
Of course, Powell doesn’t slack off in the gym. He works out 4-5 days a week but doesn't torture himself with exercises he hates. 

Instead, he does movements he enjoys and frequently tries new things. This allows him to maintain a balanced workout routine, including strength training and cardiovascular exercises. 

Powell incorporates fundamental movements into his routine, like deadlifts, dumbbell bench presses, and weighted pull-ups. He performs three sets of each exercise with 60-90 seconds of rest between each set. 

Consistency is crucial, so find a routine you enjoy and can stick to in the long term.

It's all in the style
Glen Powell’s style is another essential component of his appeal. He has a knack for blending classic pieces with modern trends, creating a look that’s both polished and current. Developing your own signature style can have a huge impact on how you're perceived.

Start by understanding your body type and choosing clothes that enhance your best features. For example, if you have a wider torso, steer clear of horizontal stripes —they’ll only make you look broader. On the other side, if you are shorter, wearing vertical stripes can make you appear taller.

Tie it all together
Glen Powell has sported a variety of iconic hairstyles throughout his career, from the classic quiff to the sleek combover and sharp slickback. Yet, one detail stands out across all his looks — no matter the style, his hair always boasts incredible texture, adding a unique edge that elevates every look.

To achieve this texture yourself, start off your styling routine with the Forte Series Sea Salt Spray or Texture Powder. These lightweight  prestylers add depth and dimension to your hair so it doesnt look “flat” and bland.

Find your "It" factor
Achieving Glen Powell's "It" factor is about more than just looks; it's a holistic approach to personal development. By focusing on confidence, fitness, style, and humility, you can cultivate a presence that captivates and inspires those around you.
