Friendship or Fake? Glen Powell and Sydney Sweeney's Promotional Tactics

Remember the 2023 rom-com, Anyone But You? It was a hit, even though critics weren't so keen on it. The reason? The leads, Glen Powell and Sydney Sweeney, had amazing on-screen chemistry. They seemed so friendly off-screen too, that rumors of an affair started swirling. But it turned out they were just good friends. Powell even admitted they played into the rumors to promote the movie. Some people think that's a sneaky way to boost a film's popularity, but Powell doesn't see it that way. He thinks it's all part of the fun of a press tour.You might not realize it, but those "spontaneous" celebrity moments are often planned. Like when Powell and country singer Luke Combs drank beer on stage. It was part of a press tour, but Powell says he genuinely enjoyed it. The same goes for his friendship with Sweeney. They're not having an affair, but their closeness makes the idea of one believable. Powell compares their relationship to famous rom-com duos like George Clooney and Julia Roberts. The thing is, press tours can be entertaining. Powell had a blast promoting Twisters and drinking beer with Combs. He loves working with Sweeney because they have a great time together. But should we feel tricked if these "spontaneous" moments are planned? It's a tricky line between fun promotion and deception. What do you think?
