Glen Powell has no time for those who attempt to pit him against fellow actor Ryan Gosling .

On Tuesday, Powell issued a playful but firm response to a Wrap report that cited an unnamed Hollywood producer who called him most definitely an up-and-coming movie star.

The compliment, however, included a dig at Gosling, with the producer also noting: Unlike an actor like Ryan Gosling whose appeal is mostly limited to female audiences, Glen appeals to both females and males.

Powells response included a wink at Goslings Oscar-nominated portrayal of Ken in the 2023 blockbuster Barbie which, incidentally, raked in more than $1.4 billion at the worldwide box office and won raves from critics across the globe.

Gosling is a legend. Im just Glen, he wrote on X , formerly Twitter.

As of Wednesday morning, Powells post had received more than 358,000 likes and drawn a plethora of comments from fans, most of them positive.
