Glen Powell and Joe Jonas faked an arrest to prank his sister Leslie.

The 37-year-old actor has recalled how he and his Devotion castmate - who he worked with on the 2022 war movie - devised a plan to trick his singer songwriter sister Leslie Powell, 33, which resulted in her "searching in every jail in Georgia" to bail them out.

He told PEOPLE magazine: "I did … a prank phone call on my sister [Leslie] with Joe Jonas of getting arrested, and my sister literally was searching in every jail in Georgia for the two of us.

"Joe figured out a way to get -- I think it was on like Google Translate -- for it to sound like a jail was calling my sister for a collect call, and so … my sister accepted the call, and I basically just pretended like Joe and I hit somebody in a golf cart and that we needed to be bailed out.

"And my sister took it very seriously. And then I ended the call, and then my sister searched every jail in Georgia looking for Joe Jonas and me."

The Twisters actor admitted his sister - who worked on the score for his 2024 blockbuster and 2023 rom-com Anyone But You - had such a "sweet" and dedicated reaction that he can't bring himself to pull such an elaborate prank on her again.

He added: "It was very sweet of her. It showed the dedication that my sister has to me, but I'm not going to do a mean prank on her like that again because she's too sweet."

However, he admitted Leslie still got her own back, although he didn't reveal exactly how she managed it.

He teased: "She did get me back. She was salivating to return that favor, I remember."

The two siblings also have an older sister Lauren Powell, 39, but it's not clear if Glen would dare prank her in the same way.

Meanwhile, the Hollywood star has been full of praise for Leslie's musical talents, and back in 2014 he was already predicting big things in her future.

He told Nylon magazine: "My little sister Leslie Powell is a singer-songwriter in Nashville and, no doubt, my favourite artist of all.

"Nothing puts me in a better mood than her music. Remember the name. She's a star."
