In an industry filled with glamorous events and movie premieres, it’s not often a canine comes into the limelight as a contender for the title of Sexiest Man Alive. But at this year’s Toronto International Film Festival, Daisy Edgar-Jones threw a curveball in the ongoing debate of Hollywood’s most handsome. When prompted about her choice for People’s Sexiest Man Alive 2024, the Twisters actress humorously voted for Glen Powell’s charming dog, Brisket, leaving fans both amused and intrigued.
Glen Powell, acclaimed for his role in Top Gun: Maverick and the box-office hit Twisters, is no stranger to heartthrob status. Known for his striking looks and compelling performances, Powell has certainly made a case for himself in the ongoing debate of the sexiest leading men in Hollywood. However, Edgar-Jones’ playful commentary at the festival highlights a lighter side of celebrity culture, where even a pet can steal the spotlight from A-list stars.
Daisy Edgar-Jones’ Surprising Choice
“It’s Brisket, Glen Powell’s dog. I know he’s technically not human, but he’s the sexiest thing I’ve ever seen,”
Edgar-Jones quipped during an interview. Her response, filled with laughter, suggests a friendly jest rather than a serious vote, yet it brings an unexpected player into the usual lineup of chiseled faces and charismatic personalities that dominate the Sexiest Man Alive nominations.
Edgar-Jones’ fondness for Brisket shines a light on her genuine rapport with her co-star and their shared moments off-screen during the filming of Twisters. While Powell is pitted against the likes of Ryan Gosling, Ryan Reynolds, and Hugh Jackman in the category of Sexiest Summer Action Star, it’s his four-legged friend who has unexpectedly become a topic of discussion among fans and media alike.
Competition Heats Up in Hollywood
The race for the title isn’t just a battle among Hollywood’s elite but also a playful exchange of endorsements among co-stars. With Powell’s name already up for the Sexiest Summer Action Star, thanks to his roles in high-octane films like The Fall Guy, Deadpool & Wolverine, and Twisters, the competition remains fierce. Fans of these celebrities are gearing up for a tough decision as they weigh their options before the results are announced this November.
Meanwhile, Twisters continues to draw crowds at the box office, further cementing Glen Powell’s status as one of Hollywood’s most appealing actors. Whether or not he clinches the title of Sexiest Man Alive, his and Brisket’s rise in popularity is a testament to his influence both on and off the screen.
As the voting for People’s Sexiest Man Alive heats up, the inclusion of Brisket in the conversation is a refreshing twist that adds a bit of humor and heart to the annual spectacle. It’s a reminder that sometimes, charm can come on four legs just as easily as it can on two. Whether or not Brisket will make an official entry into the ranks remains to be seen, but for now, he’s certainly the most talked-about dog in Hollywood.
