Glen Powell Praises Original 'Twisters' Star Bill Paxton in Heartfelt Tribute as New Movie Premieres

Glen Powell is showing love to Bill Paxton as his new movie Twisters arrives in theaters.

The 35-year-old Anyone But You actor shares the screen with the likes of Daisy Edgar-Jones and Anthony Ramos in the movie, which premiered in theaters on Friday (July 18).

“As we release Twisters into the world today, I just wanted to look up and tip my hat to the legend that is Bill Paxton,” Glen wrote on X (formerly Twitter). “A great friend of mine who saw poetry in the natural world. His boots are impossible to fill, but this life is all about chasing the greats.”

He shared a photo of himself with Bill. In it, they are smiling for the camera while wearing cowboy hats.
