Glen Powell, star of the upcoming “Twisters” movie, has taken Hollywood by storm with an unexpected co-star: his rescue dog, Brisket.
Glen Powell’s rescue dog Brisket has quickly become the breakout star of the Twisters press tour, attending red carpets, interviews, and magazine covers alongside his famous owner.
The actor, who plays storm chaser Tyler Owens in the Twister sequel, adopted Brisket from the Labelle Foundation while filming in Oklahoma in 2023.
Powell, who was going through a breakup at the time, said he always wanted a dog and felt an instant connection with Brisket after seeing his photo online.
“I sent them a heartbreakingly depressing video of me [explaining] why I needed this dog,” Powell recalled to Entertainment Weekly. Brisket has since become a beloved member of the Twisters cast, with Powell, co-star Daisy Edgar-Jones, and Anthony Ramos all sharing adorable photos and videos of the pup on set.
At the Twisters premiere in July 2024, Brisket made his red carpet debut, posing with Powell and the cast in a bowtie collar. The dog has also been spotted quietly judging the cast’s dance videos and cuddling up to Powell in behind-the-scenes photos.
“Brisket is the only reason I’ll ever post a thirst trap,” Powell joked to Entertainment Tonight, referring to a shirtless set photo that went viral.
This adorable duo has captured hearts during the film’s press tour, showcasing the special bond between a man and his furry best friend.
