Glen Powell Responds To Backlash Over 'Twisters' Kiss Controversy
HuffPost
Some viewers were shocked by the ending of the sequel to the 1996 tornado-chasing blockbuster.
Actor Glen Powell is well aware of the storm of controversy over a kissing scene ― or really, the lack thereof ― in “Twisters.”
The standalone sequel to 1996 tornado-chasing blockbuster “Twister” was at one point slated to feature a kiss at the end of the movie between Powell and co-star Daisy Edgar-Jones. A kiss was even filmed, but ultimately it was cut from the final version of the movie, which hit theaters last month.
Some viewers have expressed dismay over the deletion of the scene, which would have echoed a smooch shared by Helen Hunt and Bill Paxton at the conclusion of the ’90s version.
But overall, Powell has a sunny outlook on the whole situation.
“I’m taking it very personally!” he told Screen Rant this week, adding with a laugh, “I’m sure you’ve seen the behind-the-scenes, where I did get to kiss Daisy Edgar-Jones, which really is all that counts.”
