AceShowbiz - Glen Powell recently revealed a bizarre experience involving an obsessive fan during The Hollywood Reporter Comedy Actor Roundtable. The actor described a woman from London who has been printing pictures of his face and eating them daily for the past 80 days.
Glen Powell explained the unusual fan behavior with a mix of disbelief and humor. "There's a woman in London who has been printing out pictures of my face for the last 80 days and has eaten my face every day," he shared. He added that she seemed determined to continue this ritual until she landed a role in one of his movies.
The TikTok user behind this peculiar act goes by the handle @mynameismonique. Although she has yet to secure a role, her dedication to the daily face-eating challenge remained unwavering. The unusual interaction escalated when she attended the premiere of Powell's film Running Man in November 2025. At the event, she ate a printout of his face right in front of him, capturing the moment on video and posting it online.
During the premiere, Powell appeared charming and amused, telling the fan, "Now it's a premiere!" However, he admitted that backstage he felt more unsettled. "I didn't know this was a thing until it was described to me while I was on the red carpet," he said. "They're like, 'Hey, the girl that eats your face is on the red carpet.' I go, 'What are you talking about?'"
The story sparked a reaction from fellow actor Zach Braff, who was shocked by the fan's access to the red carpet. "How did she get red-carpet access?" he asked incredulously. Powell agreed, noting the situation posed a potential security concern, joking, "'Guys, come on, this is a real liability.'"
After the roundtable, Powell offered to share videos of the fan’s face-eating antics with his fellow actors. Braff expressed curiosity about seeing the footage but was doubtful about wanting the same experience for himself.
This odd episode highlights the extremes of modern fan culture and the strange ways some admirers seek attention online, especially through platforms like TikTok. While Glen Powell took it in stride publicly, the story remains an unusual example of celebrity-fan interaction in the digital age.
