Glen Powell Says He and Joe Jonas Fooled His Sister With Fake Jail Call

The anecdote surfaced during a PEOPLE interview at a Los Angeles screening for How to Make a Killing.

Overview

  • Powell, 37, said Jonas used a tech trick, mentioning Google Translate, to make a call sound like a collect call from jail.
  • On the call, Powell pretended he and Jonas had hit someone with a golf cart and needed to be bailed out.
  • Leslie Powell accepted the call and then searched every jail in Georgia trying to locate them.
  • He dated the prank to their time working together on the 2022 film Devotion.
  • Powell praised his sister’s loyalty, said he would not pull such a mean prank again, and noted she later got her revenge.
