Glen Powell talks about pranking his sister Leslie with Joe Jonas’ help
While attending a special screening of his upcoming movie, How to Make a Killing, the Chad Powers actor was asked whether he had ever pulled a prank on any of his parents or siblings. The actor responded with an anecdote involving his Devotion co-star Joe Jonas.
“I did… a prank phone call on my sister with Joe Jonas of getting arrested,” he told PEOPLE. “My sister literally was searching in every jail in Georgia for the two of us.”
The Twisters actor went on to explain that Jonas had figured out a way, using something like Google Translate, to replicate the audio of an automated prison call asking for acceptance. When she accepted the call, he lied to her, saying he and Jonas had hit someone with a golf cart. The actor then asked her for help bailing them out.
Glen Powell said that his sister took the call very seriously and searched for them in every jail in Georgia. He added that it was very sweet of his sister and that it showed how dedicated she was to him. However, he also admitted he wouldn’t try to pull off a “mean prank” like that again, saying she’s “too sweet.” While the Hit Man actor revealed that his sister got him back, he didn’t share details on how.
