You know it’s a party when Brisket shows up.
Glen Powell’s four-legged furry friend made an appearance alongside the actor last Saturday night at Charlize Theron’s Africa Outreach Project’s (CTAOP) 4th annual Block Party in Los Angeles, lending the high-wattage event an extra dash of star power (and even garnering some special attention from Theron herself).
The party, which was sponsored by Dior, CAA, Breitling, Universal Pictures, and Solyco Capital, celebrated the release of director Lee Isaac Chung’s new film Twisters, out July 19, with an outdoor evening of music and food at Universal Studios Backlot, including Twisters themed photo ops and special performances by country singers Tanner Adell and Lainey Wilson.
Brisket was joined by fellow revelers Daisy Edgar-Jones, Sasha Pieterse, Lee Isaac Chung, Michael Moses, January Jones, Tanner Adell, Sasha Lane, Brandon Perea, Patty Jenkins, Leslie Anne Brandt, and Dexter Darden, who danced the night away under the setting LA sun thanks to a set by viral TikTok sensation DJ Jadaboo.
Particularly venturesome guests rode a mechanical bull, while other more leisurely individuals sipped on chilled Stella Artois—hopefully in that order. Joe’s Pizza and Van Leeuwen food and ice-cream trucks were also on hand to ensure all were properly fed and prepared for the night’s activities, whether that be bull-riding, dancing, or tail-wagging.
The party, which raised over $1 million to benefit CTAOP’s work supporting the health and safety of youth in Southern Africa, also included a conversation with two South African leaders, Neo Mohajane and Miché Williams, who highlighted the impact CTAOP has had on the lives of young people. Created by Theron in 2007, CTAOP hopes to make a difference for youth in the actor’s home country and to date has reached over 4.1 million people with its scholarship and community-building programs.
At the end of the night, guests walked away with the latest issue of CULTURED, providing ample reading and space for reflection on all the evening’s important themes. A good time and a good cause? That elicits a resounding woof.
