This inclusion of his parents has become a staple throughout his career, extending from big blockbusters to more intimate projects like his 2023 romantic comedy, “Anyone But You,” where they appeared as airline passengers, The Hollywood Reporter (THR) reported.
“They’ve made it in since Spy Kids 3,” he continued. “Yeah, literally since Spy Kids 3. I think they’ve been in every single one.”

Powell shared that his family, including his two sisters, frequently visits the sets of his projects, regardless of the location, THR reported. This ongoing support is significant for Powell, who appreciates having his family close by, even if it means they occasionally get in the way.
His mother’s remarks to THR encapsulated the familial sentiment: “I know we’re probably in his way sometimes, but you wouldn’t know it because he makes everyone feel loved and taken care of,” she said, according to THR.
