“He can’t go many places without causing a commotion”: Glen Powell on how Tom Cruise’s now famous debut appearance in “Twisters” came about

Glen Powell is increasingly establishing himself as a real movie star in the entertainment industry, as his fame seems to increase with every film he appears in. Some even go so far as to compare him with his Top Shooter: Maverick Co-star Tom Cruise. Of course, the two main actors do not seem to be very competitive, but support each other. This was certainly the case when Cruise appeared at the premiere from Powell's latest film, Twistersand then brought the Internet to a standstill. Now Powell has provided an explanation as to how this now famous appearance came about.

Fans certainly seemed excited when Glen Powell and Tom Cruise attended the premiere of Twisters. And honestly, who could blame them for getting excited when they saw the two movie stars smiling together while holding packets of popcorn. Powell spoke about the viral moment when he was interviewed by Capital city alongside co-star Anthony Ramos. After joking that we didn't even know Cruise was going to appear, Powell explained that he personally extended the invitation:

I invited him. You never know when you're going to invite someone like that – it's a big deal when you invite a fellow actor to a premiere because it always becomes a thing for them, you know? And Tom especially can't go anywhere without causing a ruckus. And the fact that he showed up for me was really fucking cool.
