Hollywood actor Glen Powell has opened up about the boldest prank he ever pulled — and it involved pop star Joe Jonas.
Speaking during a recent promotional appearance in Los Angeles, the actor shared the story with humour but also a hint of regret.
The Fake Jail Call
Powell revealed the stunt happened several years ago. He and Jonas staged a fake collect call that sounded as if it was coming from jail.
During the call, Powell told his younger sister, Leslie Powell, that they had been arrested after a golf cart accident. He asked for help with bail.
The reaction was immediate. Leslie believed the story.
She reportedly began urgently searching jails in Georgia, trying to locate them. Powell said the moment showed just how much his sister cares.
‘Probably My Meanest Prank’
Looking back, the actor admitted the joke may have crossed the line. He described it as probably the meanest prank he has ever played.
At the same time, he spoke warmly about his sister’s loyalty. Her reaction, he said, proved how supportive she has always been.
Powell added that Leslie later found her own way to get even, though he did not share details.
A Close Sibling Bond
Despite the prank, the Powell siblings remain very close. Leslie is a professional musician who has worked across film and television projects.
The actor has often praised her talent publicly. Friends say the family maintains strong ties, especially during gatherings in Texas.
Fans Love the Story
The anecdote quickly spread online after Powell shared it. Many fans found the story funny. Others said it showed the actor’s playful side.
Still, Powell’s takeaway was clear. Some pranks work better in theory than in real life.
For now, the star appears happy to keep the jokes lighter — especially when family is involved.
