    Glen Powell has "good nerves" ahead of hosting Saturday Night Live

    The 37-year-old actor is set to make his debut as the host of Saturday Night Live later this month, and Glen is excited to fulfil a long-held ambition,


    He told Extra: "There's nothing like probably higher on my [bucket] list than SNL, truly. I've grown up watching SNL.

    "My family, we watched all those box sets of every single great performer that's been on the show. It was sort of like this wonderful thing that my dad, you know, I think it's premiered when he was in college and it meant so much to him and it meant so much to my mom, my whole family ... the fact that I get to bring a bunch of my friends to the show ... I'm just ready to have some fun."

    Meanwhile, Glen recently revealed that he once refused to pose with a celebrity who was on the cusp of being "cancelled".

    The actor recalled an awkward encounter with a big-name celebrity, who was on the verge of being cancelled at the time.

    During an appearance on Jake Shane's Therapuss podcast, Glen shared: "I showed up to the party and there was somebody that had been on the ropes in terms of getting cancelled. It was one of those Hollywood parties where there's like cameras and press and all that stuff.

    "This person had made some of my favourite movies and I was like, 'Oh, this is great'. He came up and he said, 'Nice to meet you.' I was like, 'Oh, dude. Such a big fan.'"

    Glenn was willing to chat to the unnamed celebrity. However, he declined the opportunity to pose for photograph with him.

    The Anyone But You star said: "This person was recently cancelled and it was not good.

    "I was a fan of their work but not a fan of their choices. So, I was kind of just being nice. But then, when they wanted to take a picture with you, I realised very quickly - I was like, 'Oh, I don't know if this is a good idea.'"
