CNN —Amid celebration around the release of his new movie “Twisters,” Glen Powell took a moment to honor an acting “legend” who came before him. The “Hit Man” star posted a picture of himself alongside late actor Bill Paxton – who starred in the 1996 film “Twister” – on X on Friday. “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,” Powell wrote in the caption. Powell and Paxton costarred in the 2013 film “Red Wing,” which also featured the late Luke Perry. They joined Luke Combs on stage at his performance at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey to “shotgun” a few beers.
