Daisy Edgar-Jones is among the many enjoying Glen Powell's rise to fame. The _Normal People_ actress, 26, and Powell, 35, — who starred in _Anyone But You_ and _Hit Man_ over the past


year — spoke with PEOPLE at a junket for their upcoming action film _Twisters_, where Edgar-Jones took a moment to celebrate her costar. "It's a Glen Powell Summer because of the


man, the myth, the legend that is Glen Powell," she says of Powell's increasing popularity. Plus, Powell had a secret weapon: his rescue dog Brisket. Brisket has also become a


household name this summer, appearing on red carpets and on Instagram with his famous dog dad. "I think Brisket can't take all the credit," Edgar-Jones says of Powell's


success, adding, "But Brisket definitely adds to the flavor of joy, and fun, and fluff." Powell adopted the dog, then a "wee" puppy, in July 2023 and started bringing


Brisket to the action movie's set shortly after. "Daisy really saw my life before Brisket and my life after Brisket," Powell says of adopting the dog during filming. Brisket


easily fit in with _Twisters' _cast and crew, who appreciated having a fluffy, calming presence on set. "He's such a beautiful soul. He's a storm chaser. He's been


storm chasing with us," Edgar-Jones says of the pup. She adds that having "comfort animal" Brisket around on night shoots, when the actors were sleepy and looking for


snuggles, was a delightful treat. "He gave such joy to the whole crew. And every department hung out with him while we were shooting different things. He became a mascot for this


movie," Powell explains of Brisket's role on set. NEVER MISS A STORY — SIGN UP FOR PEOPLE'S FREE DAILY NEWSLETTER TO STAY UP-TO-DATE ON THE BEST OF WHAT PEOPLE HAS TO OFFER​​,

Twisters' production that Edgar-Jones jokingly suggested an alternate title for the film: "Bristers." _Twisters _hits theaters July 19.
