What did Glen Powell say about Bill Paxton’s acting techniques?
During his appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, the actor recalled his experience working with the True Lies actor on a 2013 film. The Hit Man star revealed, “I shot this movie called Red Wing years and years ago, and Bill and I became really close on that movie.” Powell further added that there was also an acting trick that the veteran actor taught him, and he applied it in his upcoming film.
Speaking of a trick by Paxton, the Anyone But You star stated, “As an actor, sometimes you have to shoot outdoors, and you’re kind of squinting and whatnot, and he taught me this trick that if you close your eyes and you look up at the sun, it warms your eyes up to the sun and you can open your eyes.”
He continued, So while we were shooting Twisters, I was shooting outdoors the whole time, so I’d used that trick my entire career since meeting Bill. And on Twisters, I really felt like every time I closed my eyes, I got to think of Bill, which was great.”
