The Twisters actor, who appeared on the Today show Wednesday, said he thinks his parents Glen Powell Sr. and Cyndy Powell have been in every single one of his movies.
Theyve made it in since Spy Kids [3-D: Game Over], Powell told host Hoda Kotb.
The actor, while promoting the stand-alone sequel to 1996s Twister , revealed that the new movie contains a great sequence featuring his parents appearing at a rodeo.
Theyre right behind Daisy Edgar-Jones and I, said Powell as a clip of him and his Twisters co-star played on the show.
Youll be able to see them here in a second. Yeah, theyre right behind us there ... Look at that, he said.
Powells parents also made a cameo in Anyone But You their sons romantic comedy with Sydney Sweeney that was released last year where they appeared as passengers on an airplane.

The actor told Entertainment Weekly in December that his father was the real method actor as he was asleep in the scene while Powell struggled not to break character as Sweeney did gymnastics over his face.
Hes the Daniel Day-Lewis of sleep acting. There was not a false beat in that performance, said Powell, who said his mother delivered an iconic look in the scene, as well.
The two supported their son outside the Today show on Wednesday with his mother holding an I changed Glen Powells diapers sign while his father had a Glen Powell is our force of nature sign.

The actor told Entertainment Tonight that his parents are known for kind of trolling him a bit. Powell said those signs were inspired by social media posts they had seen about him.
I dont read every tweet but my parents read tweets so if youre talking shit, know that my parents are reading those tweets, he said.
