Glen Powell and Sydney Sweeney certainly know how to sell a rom-com.

The duo sparked widespread rumors of an on-set romance while filming Anyone But You (2024) and delivered seemingly real flirtation during its promotion. In an interview Tuesday with The New York Times , however, Powell confirmed it was all a sham to sell tickets.

The two things that you have to sell a rom-com are fun and chemistry, he told the outlet.

Sydney and I have a ton of fun together, and we have a ton of effortless chemistry, Powell continued. Thats people wanting whats on the screen off the screen, and sometimes you just have to lean into it a bit and it worked wonderfully. Sydney is very smart.
