Glen Powell Says He Threw Up After Watching ‘Hidden Figures’ Rough Cut

Glen Powell had a strong reaction the first time he watched ‘Hidden Figures’… but it wasn’t exactly a happy reaction – he admitted to throwing up after leaving a rough cut of the film.

The actor appeared on the “Therapus with Jake Shane” podcast this week and got real about starring in the hit 2016 biopic… he said he was completely pale after seeing an early screening.

GP – who played a real astronaut John Glenn in the movie – says he watched the movie before any effects or music were added, a very bare bones version… and he really thought he ruined the movie.

Powell says he left the room feeling like he had done a disservice to the memory of the real women who helped America get to the moon in the 1960s — while also letting down all the hard work of his fellow actors… and he became so overwhelmed that he vomited in the bushes on the Fox property.

Glen says that the added aspects that the first version lacked ultimately made the film a lot better… so he probably flipped a little too quickly.

It seems he and his co-stars ultimately did just that… “Hidden Figures” is a critical and commercial success: 93% on Rotten Tomatoes, while grossing over $230 million at the box office. It also earned three Oscars, including Best Supporting Actress Octavia Spencer.
