Glen Powell leaves people chilled after sharing shocking 'date with cannibal' story
Sometimes celebrities tell some pretty weird tales during interviews, but none of them usually include a date with a cannibal.
Well, actor Glen Powell might be the only one to have this story up his sleeve.
After appearing on Jake Shane’s podcast Therapuss last month, fans have been left wondering if his story is fact or fiction.
The disturbing story is allegedly about his sister’s friend and it’s wild.

According to the Hit Man star, his sister ‘was friends with a girl who went on a date with a guy’, who then apparently used some sort of ‘black market lotion’ on her.
Already, this is weird.
He said: "As she got back to his apartment, she started getting weird vibes like 'something feels off'. He's like, 'Can I give you a massage?' And she's like, 'Sure'."
Powell went on to explain: “He starts massaging her shoulders [...] Everything just feels odd. She’s like, 'I gotta get out of here'. He gets a little weird 'Like, no, please don't leave, sorry', she leaves."
The actor continued: "Her skin starts itching like crazy the next day. She goes to the doctor […] It turns out it’s a black market lotion that breaks down skin for human consumption."
Nobody else expected that twist as there was evident disbelief from the room.
Powell added: "This man was rubbing lotion on her body to eat her. The doctor is like 'you have to give me this person’s address and you should call the police'. They go to this guy’s house, and he had several bodies in the house.”
After watching a video of Powell detailing the bizarre story, one person commented: “Glenn just drops the most INSANE CRAZY serial killer story in the middle of the episode.”
Another penned: "[She] is so lucky she [was] listening to those instincts and felt the vibes were off cos it literally saved her life.”
Someone else wrote: "Who knows how many lives she saved because of her good instincts. Incredible.”
But is the story real?
There are many stories like this circulating the internet which aim to scare and horrify readers.
Some people were a bit more skeptical about the validity of Powell's story and claimed they'd heard it before as an old urban legend.
Well, whether it is real or not, people loved Powell's storytelling and commented on his ‘fresh’ personality on the podcast.
One fan wrote: “I didn't know what to expect, as I don't know much about Glen but this was surprising and refreshing, will check out his movies now!”
A second added: “Omg I love this interview so much Jake!! You & Glen are a power duo!! Iconic!! Glen's a sweetheart!”
