The trolling ends with Brandon Sklenar.
The “It Ends With Us” star has hilariously clapped back at a hater who described him as “Walmart Glen Powell.”
The commenter left the rude remark beneath an Instagram clip posted by MTV showing the actor promoting his new thriller flick, “Drop.”
Taking the hurtful remark in his stride, Sklenar sassily responded: “Who doesn’t love a bargain?”
The social media troll was won over by Sklenar’s quick wit, responding: “Rlly don’t know u from any movies yet but you’ve just gained a supporter “
Despite Sklenar’s newest fan being unaware of his resume, the 34-year-old actor has garnered quite the sheet on IMDb over the past year.
He starred alongside Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni in the 2024 drama “It Ends With Us” before joining the “Yellowstone” universe in the show’s spinoff “1923.”
At the same time, Sklenar hopped into the world of psychological thrillers, landing a leading role in the Christopher Landon directed movie “Drop.”
“It is very cool objectively that these things are happening at the same time,” he told People about both roles. “It’s sort of divine timing, a universal wink. It’s like, ‘Hey, good on you.’”
“I’ve been kind of just pounding away for the last 16 years,” Sklenar admitted of his career. “It’s like the universe throwing you a bone and I really appreciate that.”
When he’s not hard at work, the Santa Barbara resident likes to spend time his girlfriend Courtney Salviolo, 34, and his 13-year-old canine, Remy.
“I like to sit with my dog and my girl and play the guitar,” Sklenar simply stated.
Meanwhile, the physical similarities to Powell aren’t the only thing he and Sklenar have in common.
Powell also attempted to make it in Hollywood for a long time.
“As a struggling actor, there’s no harder place to live than being in Hollywood with nothing going on,” Powell told Vanity Fair in November. “The currency of that town is how relevant you are and what your last job is. It makes you oppressively self-aware.”
But Powell, who had a series of hit movies in a row including “Top Gun: Maverick” (2022), “Anyone But You” (2022), “Hit Man” (2023), and “Twisters” (2024), was able to convince himself not to give up.
He supported himself by taking on small movie roles and guest appearances in TV shows for many years.
“Even at the darkest moments in that town, when I really didn’t have anything happening, you sort of have to lie to yourself, at least a little bit, and act like this is that chapter of the story where things just aren’t going right,” the star reflected.
“You have to believe in the Hollywood legends of those people that you admire, the people that you’re chasing, that had those long stretches of famine as well,” he continued. “I’m very grateful about getting a chance to understand a lot about writing. I had to occupy different types of jobs that allowed me to understand how to finance things, and produce things. I started understanding a facet of this business that’s really serving me right now.”
