Hollywood star Glen Powell recalled the time he adopted Brisket, the rescue dog who brought magic to his life.
Glen shared the heartwarming story of Brisket during an interview with Entertainment Weekly.
The 35-year-old actor said he adopted the dog during a breakup.
"I was going through a breakup at the time and was in the middle of Enid, Oklahoma, and I had always wanted a dog.
It was something I thought about a lot, but it was somewhere in this coffee shop in Enid.... I don't even know how to describe it, I just had the desire to be a father," the actor said.
At that time, Glen was dating model Gigi Paris.
The star of the new blockbuster movie "Twisters" said he was following many dog adoption and rescue Instagram accounts and came across a picture of Brisket.
"I literally messaged saying, 'Please put in a good word for me,'" Powell shares. "I sent them a heartbreakingly depressing video of me why I needed this dog."
Glen said he took a weekend off filming to fly to Los Angeles and collect Brisket.
"Everybody knew how excited I was. I was like, 'Guys, I'm going to pick him up!'" he recalled.
Entertainment Weekly reported:
"Upon arriving to set, Brisket made his presence known. "He was crate training and all that stuff, so he was crying through the night," says Powell. "I felt like literally a new father, where I wasn't sleeping while shooting this movie.
But Brisket would just kick it with every department head, and he would sit in my chair and just sleep. I had the most adorable picture of Brisket in my Twisters chair at the rodeo. But he really became sort of a set mascot on that movie. It's just adorable.
"As 'beautiful' an experience filming Twisters was, Powell says Brisket has been a "magical gift" because of "the way that he brings me so much joy, and brings everybody around me joy."
