Glen Powell Details Reuniting With Sydney Sweeney at His Sister's Wedding
Glen Powell is using his star power to help a friend fighting for her life.
The Top Gun: Maverick actor shared with his followers that Hollywood makeup artist Charlie Hounslow, who has worked on films such as Gladiator II and Bohemian Rhapsody, as well as Game of Thrones, is battling stage 4 brain cancer.
"Charlie Hounslow is a wonderful human I have the pleasure of working with every day," Powell wrote on his Instagram Stories April 29. "She's a loyal and generous friend with an infectious laugh, and true zest for life."
Sharing a link to a GoFundMe, the Twisters star continued, "Charlie has just been diagnosed with Stage 4 Glioblastoma - an aggressive and currently considered incurable brain cancer. Every contribution, big or small, helps get her the care she needs."
Vampire Diaries alum Claire Holt also shared news of Charlie's health battle on her own social media and donated to the GoFundMe, which her family created for her to raise money for her treatments and care.
The page states, "Charlie has been diagnosed with Stage 4 Glioblastoma — an aggressive and currently considered incurable brain cancer. THEY CLEARLY HAVEN'T MET CHARLIE!T To say this has come as a shock is an understatement. After suffering a few awful headaches, she was admitted to Watford Hospital, where a CT scan revealed a mass on her brain. An MRI confirmed the worst."

Charlie's family also noted on the GoFundMe that there was a "highly promising clinic in Germany" that offers a treatment program that costs approximately $200,000.
"We are fighting to get Charlie access to the best possible care," they wrote, "but these treatments come at a high price."

The page added that Charlie’s brother Nick has flown in from Los Angeles and moved into her home in London so he can be by her side.
"Funding will also help keep Nick here to support her, accompany her to appointments, and advocate for her care," the family continued. "We are so incredibly grateful for any support you can offer — whether that’s through donating, sharing this page, or simply keeping Charlie in your thoughts and prayers."
