Glen Powell addresses fan who bizarrely ate a photo of his face every day for 140 days

Glen Powell has spoken out about one of his weirdest fan interactions after meeting a woman who'd eaten a picture of his face every day for 140 days.
Getting noticed by your idol is any superfan's dream, so it's no wonder some go to increasing lengths to catch the eye of their favorite star.
One woman managed to ensure she was noticed by her favorite actor, Glen Powell - but it did take 140 days of eating pictures of his face to do so.
The Anyone But You and Twisters star recently opened up about the moment he learned of the fan's quest to get cast in one of his movies through her weird campaign of eating his face.
Speaking on The Hollywood Reporter Comedy Actor Roundtable, Glen told fellow actors Harrison Ford, Owen Wilson, Zach Braff, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, and Riz Ahmed of the strangest fan interaction he's ever had.
He explained: "There’s a woman in London who has been printing out pictures of my face for the last like 80 days and has eaten my face every day.
"Literally will eat my face until I give her a role in a movie."
That woman goes by @mynameismonique on TikTok, where she documented the challenge until day 140, when she finally met Glen on the Running Man red carpet in November 2025.
In the clip, the actor could be seen signing a picture of himself for her... before she chomped down on the image, tore half of it off with her teeth, and ate it in front of him.
Glen could be seen cracking up when he realized what she was doing, joking: "Now it’s a premiere!"
Describing the odd moment to his fellow stars, Glen explained: "I didn’t know this was a thing until it was described to me while I was on the red carpet.
"They’re like, 'Hey, the girl that eats your face is on the red carpet.' I go, 'What are you talking about?'"
When they questioned how Monique was granted red carpet access, Glen admitted: "That’s what I was like… come on, this is a real liability."
For those concerned, Monique previously confirmed the images she was chowing down on were "fully edible" rather than normal printouts on regular paper, which would not be a great idea for many reasons.
But it wasn't just Glen that had experienced some unhinged behavior from a fan, as Harrison Ford had a pretty interesting anecdote of his own.
He revealed the wildest thing a fan has ever said to him, after someone yelled at him at an airport: "My mother wants to sleep with you."
Riz Ahmed, meanwhile, revealed: "Once, somebody asked me to sign something, and I signed it and then they chased me down the street and started yelling at me: 'That’s not your signature!'"
Unfortunately for Monique, Glen is yet to cast her in any of his movies, but it seems she made quite the impression on him nonetheless.
