'Twisters' Star Anthony Ramos Shares How He Helped Convince Glen Powell to Adopt a Dog
If you are like me and a fan of Glen Powell, you know that he is a very devoted dog dad to an adorable rescue pup, named Brisket.
While speaking to People magazine in September 2023, Powell’s “Twisters” co-star Anthony Ramos said he influenced Powell to adopt a furry friend. According to Ramos, he brought his dog, Prince, to the set of “Twisters,” which got Powell thinking.
"I remember when Glen was on set, and he was thinking about getting a dog, and Prince would be around all the time, and he was like, 'Yo, bro, you think I should do it?'" said Ramos. "And everyone was like, 'Yeah, bro, it's a lot of responsibility, but it's great, man. It's great if you could swing it.' Brisket is the perfect size to travel with him. He's such a sweet dog. He's super fun."
Ramos also said that once Powell adopted Brisket, the pup immediately hit it off with Prince.
"The best part was Brisket and my dog, Prince, playing together all the time," said Ramos.
Powell opened up about his decision to adopt Brisket, who he calls his “son,” on the June 10 episode of the “Drew Barrymore Show
He explained that he decided that he wanted to become a pup parent while shooting “Twisters” in Oklahoma.
“I was feeling like I needed to be a dad as soon as possible. So Brisket was the solution,” said Powell.
He also shared that he adopted the very good boy from The LaBelle Foundation, located in Los Angeles. In addition, he stated that his furry friend was taken in by the rescue around the Fourth of July. The 35-year-old suggested his beloved dog was at risk of being put down.
“It’s kind of terrible. But before July 4th, you know, because a lot of dogs ran away, with the fireworks, he was probably one of those crew that would be put down. So, we got Brisket just in time,” said Powell.
