With the popcornperfect Twisters about to touch down, he's got summer locked up

- ANDREA SIMPSON & LEANNE ACIZ STANTON

Blows Us Away

Maverick. Anyone But You. Hit Man. And now, Twisters. "I promise I'm gonna disappear really soon," Glen Powell jokes to Us of his recent string of mass-appeal projects. (Please, no!) Blessed with inviting green eyes, a jacked bod-your eyes have probably already drifted toward the selfie at far right and charm to spare, the 35-year-old Texan has become one of Hollywood's most sought-after leading men. Send the thank-you to his parents.

"The greatest gift they gave me is letting me chase the passions I wanted to chase," he says of Glen Sr. and Cyndy. "If I was sitting in the outfield picking dandelions [and thinking], 'Yeah, I'm not really sure I'm meant for [baseball],' they let me give it up. I'm just really grateful to my parents for not trying to deter me from a job that has such a low success rate!" Not these days not the way Powell performs. Twisters (in theaters July 17) is destined to be a megahit just like its 1996 predecessor, Twister.

Here, Powell talks taking on tornadoes and taking Hollywood by storm.

What inspired you to sign on for this Mother Nature-runamok film?

One of the joys of this job is to return to worlds that got you into this business in the first place. Twister is such a visceral experience, but it's [also] about these people and this real community: They're just cowboys chasing the wind.

There's a sense of freedom, curiosity and fascination that permeates that movie.
