Meet Brisket, the Real star of Glasgow’s subsequent blockbuster film

He is a Hollywood A-lister who has his pick of the movie world’s leading roles.

But the big-screen heartthrob Glen Powell was outshone by an even brighter star when he was spotted in Glasgow while filming his next blockbuster.

The Top Gun and Twisters actor had his rescue dog Brisket in tow, with his adorable sidekick arriving in the city fresh from a red carpet appearance and cover shoot for Entertainment Weekly.

The white and tan terrier cross has amassed a cult following on the internet since he was adopted in 2023.

The cute pooch has his own Instagram page with the handle @hotbrisket that has nearly 150,000 followers.

And Brisket once again stole the show yesterday as fans jostled for selfies, with one group of students successfully catching people’s attention by holding up a sign that read: ‘May we meet Brisket?’

The 36-year-old Texan is in Scotland to film scenes for the remake of the 1980s hit The Running Man. 

He will be taking on the lead role originally played by Arnold Schwarzenegger in the dystopian futuristic film.

The actor adopted Brisket when he was going through a break-up and decided he needed ‘to be a dog dad’.

The star insists Brisket also gives the whole crew a lift during filming. Powell added: ‘He has been the greatest addition to my life.

‘Sets can be very lonely places and it’s interesting when you see a dog just filling you up with love, how it brings a cast together even more.’
