Bill Paxton’s Legacy Lives On! James Paxton Embodies Late Dad Bill’s Spirit in Upcoming ‘Twisters’ Film
Recently, people are going crazy all over the internet because James Paxton makes an appearance in ‘Twisters,’ a standalone sequel to the 1996 film starring his dad. The father of James Paxton, Bill Paxton, always had the feeling of his child becoming an actor.
The late Aliens star’s 30-year-old son is going viral all over social media platforms as he describes as a “cameo” as a motel guest in Twisters. When he finally discovered that he was passionate about this role the craft, at that time, he got to know that his dad “was a bit reticent.”

James revealed, “And at first, Dad was a bit reticent — just because he knows this is a very tough path and there’s a lot of ups and downs and adversity that you go through just trying to build a career of longevity in acting and filmmaking. And he said, ‘Gosh, if there’s anything else you want to do, even just as much or more, a little bit more, do that instead.’ And I said, ‘Dad, I really want to do this.'”
He added, “And then, two years into auditioning full-time, I booked my first big break, a lead role on Eyewitness, directed by Catherine Hardwicke. It was just a life-changing, career-changing experience because it really set me on a path and gave me legitimacy as my own actor.”

Before his death in February 2017 at the age of 61, Bill and his wife Louise had two children, James and Lydia. Bill played Bill Harding in the 1996 hit movie Twister, one of many successful films in his lengthy career. Now, James is honoring this memorable role in Twisters, telling EW that he “did this one for Dad.”
James explained to the media outlets, “It took me a little bit of time to process it, just given the context of my dad and his significance in the original and him not being her. It’s an emotional thing. It wasn’t something that I could really decide immediately, It took a little time just to process it, just the magnitude of it.”
He continued, “wanted to be a conduit for his spirit there and cheer everyone in this production on to success because I know he would be. I wanted to do something that really honors his presence in this new chapter and really do something for him.”
