Powell's career trajectory has been remarkable, spanning romantic comedies, high-octane action films, and upcoming projects like 'The Running Man,' showcases his versatility as an actor. While 'Anyone But You' and other recent productions have shown that he can handle a wide range of roles, he gained international recognition for his intense and captivating performance in 'Top Gun: Maverick.' But even with the momentum, he isn't quite used to the pressures of fame. 

In an interview with The Guardian, he reflected: "I love acting. I love the process…I'm not exhausted by that—it's fun. But the exhausting part…is when I'm in the real world right now." The movie set is still Powell's comfort zone since it allows him to concentrate on his art and teamwork rather than the elements of fame that deplete him off-set, such as paparazzi, social media attention, and public appearances.
