Remember when we were all obsessed with that man who woke up every day and did a morning wake up by dunking his face in Saratoga water? Now he’s teamed up with Glen Powell to promote the trailer for The Running Man.

Back in March of this year, we all became obsessed with a guy who showed people his morning routine. It included being suspended above a pool in the longest dive known to man, a lot of Saratoga water, and more outrageous things to “start” the day. His name is Ashton Hall. Since, his routine videos have become a meme all their own and now the film The Running Man is using Hall’s reach to their advantage.

The duo made a video of a morning workout routine that featured Hall doing his classic face plunge and then meeting up with Powell so the two could do some push-ups and step-ups all before running together. It leads to Hall heading to the movie theater to eat dinner and watch the new trailer for Edgar Wright’s The Running Man.

The two worked out and went running, which is a fun way to tie into the film. It does seem like Paramount did a lot of prep with influencers and social media celebrities we know and love to promote the trailer drop for the new film!

Powell did his own version of the morning routine, including asking if he has to put his face in the bowl of water.

They really had Powell face first in a bowl full of ice water. On top of filming a lot of different introductions to the movie itself. But honestly dunking your face in a bowl of water before noon is really doing a lot and kudos to Glen Powell for committing to that bit.

What else do we have coming out for The Running Man? It seems like a lot of bits were shot so I cannot wait to see what they have Glen Powell doing for the movie!
