Call it fake.
Last year, Glen Powell finally admitted he was behind the gossip that he was dating his Anyone But You co-star Sidney Sweeney to promote the film.
“The two things you need to sell a romantic comedy are fun and chemistry,” he said in an interview with The New York Times published Tuesday.
“Sydney and I are a lot of fun together and we have great chemistry. It’s because people want what’s on the screen to come off the screen, and sometimes you just have to lean into the screen a little bit.” There is, and it worked wonderfully.Sydney is very smart.”
Rumors about Powell, 35, and Sweeney, 26, first surfaced when they were spotted on the set of a rom-com in Australia in March last year.
In the photo, the “Euphoria” star, who has been engaged to Jonathan Davino since 2022, wore a floral bikini, while the “Top Gun: Maverick” actor was shirtless in just a pair of swim shorts. .
The following month, Powell’s then-girlfriend, Gigi Paris, unfollowed Sweeney on Instagram after Powell shared several photos of her off-camera adventures with Powell.
The “Immaculate” star and Powell got cozy with each other at CinemaCon in Las Vegas last April.
Sweeney was also spotted enjoying a fun day at Sydney’s Taronga Zoo with the Hitman actor and his family.
Rumors of a relationship between Sweeney and Powell began to die down after the Madame Web actress went on several dates with her fiancé, Davino, 40.
In May of the same year, she was seen wearing an engagement ring for the first time in almost a year.
As the co-stars gear up for the release of Anyone But You in December 2023, Hoda Kotb spoke about their chemistry on and off-screen during an appearance on the Today show. The hearsay was rekindled.
When the co-anchor, 59, asked the pair if they knew right away that they were a good match after reading the first table, they looked at each other before bursting into laughter.
Sweeney meekly replied, “Yes.”
The “Handmaid’s Tale” alum poked fun at rumors of an affair in a March 2024 monologue on “Saturday Night Live.”
“The craziest rumor I’ve seen is that I had an affair with my co-star Glen Powell while filming ‘Anyone But You,'” she said at the time. “That’s obviously not true. Me and her fiancé produced the movie together and he was there the entire time it was being shot.
“And I just want to tell everyone, he’s the man of my dreams and we’re still together and stronger than ever. He’s here to cheer me on tonight too. He came here.”
Sweeney, 26, looked at the camera crew and said, “Can I cut to him?”
The camera then cut to Mr. Powell sitting in the audience, looking stunned.
“That’s not my fiancé!” Sweeney joked. “He’s in my dressing room. We’re going to give you a great show tonight!”
Thanks to this gossip, Anyone But You became a box office hit, earning more than $219 million worldwide, according to Deadline.
