    Daisy Edgar-Jones recruits Twisters pals Glen Powell and Anthony Ramos for Charli XCX's viral TikTok dance to Apple

    The Twisters cast is showing off their dance moves.

    Daisy Edgar-Jones shared a video of herself and co-stars Glen Powell and Anthony Ramos performing the viral Charli XCX TikTok dance to her hit song Apple.

    The dance was created by TikTok user Kelley Heyer a month ago and has taken the internet by storm ever since.

    Daisy captioned the Sunday Instagram post , 'Caught the lads up on Brat summer.'

    Glen cheekily commented, 'Hard to remember my life before this dance. Thank you, Daisy.'

    But these days, along with hopping on the lighthearted dance trends, the Hit Man star is also getting candid on wanting more movies for Middle America.

    'Having grown up in and around Texas, I’m aware there are vast parts of America that have been underserved in terms of movies that they want to see,' Glen shared in an interview with The Telegraph . 'You sort of have New York and Los Angeles making the decisions about what gets made, but there’s a whole lot more audience out there you need to think about.'

    The Twisters star also noted that filming his 2023 romcom Anyone But You with Sydney Sweeney helped him realize what was missing.

    'One of the things that I’ve realized recently is that when studios say a genre is dead, all it means is that there’s a huge opportunity, because a market is not being served,' Glen continued. 'The business stopped making romantic comedies, apparently, because romantic comedies weren’t making any money in theaters. But my belief is there’s no problem facing Hollywood that can’t be solved by a really good movie.'

    The Scream Queens alum is hopeful he can serve the areas - like the 'vast part' he is from - with more of the films they want.

    In fact, Glen has decided to move back to his home state of Texas to finish his college degree and be closer to his family.

    In May, he told The Hollywood Reporter that he is reaping the benefits of 'getting to this point in Hollywood is that I can now leave Hollywood. It’s like I’ve earned the ability to go back to my family.'

    Talking about Hollywood functions, Glen noted, 'I think you get enough of those that you just want to bring your family as close as possible - or run to them.'

    The Top Gun: Maverick actor continued, 'I think this is going to be good for my head, heart and soul.'

    But looking back at the start of making it in Hollywood, Glen reflected on being cast in Denzel Washington’s 2007 film, The Great Debaters.

    The 69-year-old was so impressed by a young Glen that he hired him as a Harvard debater and even introduced him to his agent, Ed Limato.

    Afterward, Glen headed to his first year at the University of Texas, but soon after, he received a call from Ed, inquiring if he would be coming to Los Angeles for the film's premiere.

    Once he touched down in the City of Angels, the trio discussed the Set It Up star's future.

    'I’ll never forget it. I sat down with him and Denzel, and it was quick,' Glen shared. 'Ed goes, "You should move out here and give this a shot." He’s like, "This shit doesn’t happen overnight, but you should take the plunge".'

    Meanwhile, Denzel felt the same way. Glen recalled: 'He’s like, "This guy’s discovered everybody; don’t run from this, Glen".'

    And Glen didn't run. Fast-forward to years of hard work, and now the actor is in the business of turning down deals that don't suit him.

    Glen revealed to the outlet that he turned down a potential role in the latest Jurassic World film - despite the 1993 classic being one of his 'favorite movies.'

    'It’s one of the things I’ve wanted to do my whole life,' he admitted. 'I’m not doing that movie because I read the script and I immediately was like, my presence in this movie doesn’t help it.'

    'And the script’s great,' Glen continued. 'The movie’s going to f---ing kill. It’s not about that. It’s about choosing where you’re going to make an audience happy and where you’re going to make yourself happy.'

    As for where the Hollywood hunk stands in his love life? Well, these days, he's focused on his career.

    'This is a time where life is moving so fast that I don’t even know if I could bring someone into it … in a healthy way, even if I tried,' Glen told CBS Sunday Mornings in June.

    When host Gayle King suggested he could 'for the right person,' he replied, 'For the right person, I think that’s right.'

    Glen added that while he isn't 'chasing love,' he would be open to it if something came his way.

    'If love comes and hits me in the face and knocks me over, I welcome it with open arms because that’s something I really want,' he gushed. 'You know, it’s like - even just being with my niece and nephew today, it’s like, I really want kids.'

    'I really want that phase of life. It’s not far away,' stated Glen. 'And at the same time, I realize [that] it’s going to take a very specific type of person to navigate this [lifestyle]. It’s a lot.'

    He also shared that through his time in the film industry he has realized 'there’s new aspects and new complexities to this life and this job,' which at one point he didn't even 'understand.'

    'So to bring someone into that and to make them feel comfortable, to make them feel seen, to make them feel loved, when a lot of the elements around that can really eat at someone’s self confidence or worth or any of that stuff,' Glen reiterated. 'I’m not willing to have somebody sign up for that if they’re not ready for it.'

    The Fast Food Nation vet was previously in a relationship with model Gigi Paris , before the two called it quits in August 2023.

    In December, Glen opened up about his chemistry with Sydney while promoting Anyone But You.

    'Well, look, the only reason it made things harder for me to lean into that stuff was that I was going through a very real breakup amidst a promotional tour,' he elaborated to Business Insider . 'I was with someone that I really loved and cared about and was trying to kind of make sense of a lot of stuff.'

    Added Glen, 'It was a lot easier for Sydney to lean into something like that because she's in a very committed and wonderful relationship and she's very happy. So it was a little harder for me.'
