Influencer Alix Earle's friendship with Glen Powell helped her land her high profile Sports Illustrated modelling job.
The 25-year-old TikToker told Nylon that The Running Man actor helped her get to the photoshoot in Botswana back in January after she was stuck following a star-studded New Year's break.
Earlier this year, according to People, Alix was with Glen, Nina Dobrev, Miles Teller and his wife, Keleigh, coming back from St. Barts when the group found themselves stuck in Miami. To avoid the delays, the group ended up hopping on a plane to Atlanta, where she could easily get a plane to South Africa.
"I did research of like what other flights could I take to get to Botswana? There was just none for the next few days. So I was like panicking. So Glen was like, 'Okay, me, you and my dog can fly to Atlanta,' and then that's how we got there," the model and influencer with over 14 million followers explained.
The group allegedly spent New Year’s in St. Barts on a $360M yacht, which has a helipad, a spa with cryotherapy, a pool, multiple jacuzzis, fire pits, a gym, a cinema, a nightclub, and an outdoor cinema. The yacht was reportedly owned by billionaire businessman Shahid Khan, who is known for owning the NFL's Jacksonville Jaguars.
Powell wasn't just a useful contact for a flight; he also provided emotional support during the stressful time. "Our flight [experienced] so much turbulence. I was freaking out and so scared, but he was like, 'Don't worry,'" she said about the Top Gun: Maverick star.
Alix hinted at these troubles when posting her raunchy shoot on Instagram "At the time we shot I was going through a lot emotionally and getting to travel across the world and find such a grounding/peaceful feeling was somehow so healing. On the way back from this trip I traveled alone, sat at lunch with strangers, and it was such a beautiful way to start the year."
View this post on InstagramAlix appeared in a safari-themed photoshoot for Sports Illustrated this year after making her debut as the franchise's first digical cover star in 2024 and then in print the year after. In the series of images, she wore a range of skimpy safari-themed outfits and bikinis and posed alongside wild animals.
“I’ve learned to push myself out of my comfort zone — in fact, I’d say that getting uncomfortable is how you start feeling more comfortable,” the Dancing with the Stars alum told the magazine, per Page Six.
Despite it being her third shoot for the outlet, Alix admitted she still felt nervous posing, likely not helped by the stressful travel delays. “I doubt myself, I worry … I’m human,” she said.
