Hawk Tuah, the internet sensation formerly known as Haliey Welch, is back in the spotlight and making waves in Hollywood. After navigating the chaos surrounding her involvement in the meme coin crypto scandal, Hawk has transitioned to acting, landing a cameo in Glen Powell’s upcoming Hulu sports comedy series Chad Powers.
Sources close to the production tell TMZ that Hawk was on set this past weekend during reshoots for the series, which stars Glen Powell as a fictionalized Oregon Ducks quarterback, Russ Holliday. The scene in question takes place at a club, where Powell’s character bumps into Hawk Tuah while out celebrating his draft pick to the XFL. Hawk, who will be playing herself, was reportedly seen shooting the scene in Los Angeles, marking her debut in Hollywood.
While details on her role remain under wraps, it’s unclear whether the cameo will reference the viral moment that propelled her to fame—an explicit viral video that stirred controversy last year. However, given her rising star power, fans will be curious to see how much screen time she’ll receive.
For Glen Powell, a seasoned actor accustomed to Hollywood sets, this was just another day at work. But for Hawk, it marks a significant shift in her career, moving beyond her internet fame and stepping into a new chapter after overcoming the fallout from the meme coin fiasco.
Thankfully, Hawk was recently cleared by the SEC, which wrapped up its investigation into her involvement in the crypto scheme, allowing her to focus on her future. With this move into acting, it seems like Hawk is ready to leave the past behind and embrace her new career path, further cementing her presence in the entertainment industry.
It’s clear that Hawk Tuah is turning the page and heading toward new opportunities in Hollywood—leaving behind the drama for a shot at stardom.
