In the movie "Twisters", starring Glen Powell and Daisy Edgar-Jones, a controversial kiss scene at the end of the film was cut following a suggestion from director Steven Spielberg to avoid a cliché romantic ending. Spielberg advised against the kiss, believing it would be more impactful to end the film on a different note. The decision to omit the kiss scene, which had initially been part of the movie, was made in an attempt to steer away from the expected Hollywood romance tropes.

Despite the absence of the kiss scene, "Twisters" remains a popular movie, with Glen Powell delivering a memorable performance that has garnered significant attention. Powell's role in the film has generated much interest, from his wet t-shirt scene to his on-stage beer shotgunning with country superstar Luke Combs. Furthermore, Powell's charismatic presence, reminiscent of the likes of Matthew McConaughey, has been highlighted, solidifying his status as a rising star in the industry.

In a twist, it was revealed that Glen Powell’s parents made a cameo in the movie, adding a personal touch to the film. Powell and his co-stars also made headlines for their on-stage beer chugging with Luke Combs during a concert, much to the delight of fans. Additionally, Powell and his dog, Brisket, have captured the hearts of many, with endearing photos of their bond circulating online.

The decision to cut the kiss scene in "Twisters" was part of a deliberate effort to differentiate the film from typical disaster movie clichés, providing a fresh perspective to the genre. What started as a polarizing move ultimately contributed to the film's success and continued relevance.
