As a seasoned gamer of both cinema and the art of speculation, I must say it’s a delight to unravel the intricate web that connects two seemingly disparate worlds such as the grandeur of Downton Abbey and the high-octane thrill of Twisters. The casting of Harry Haddon-Paton in both series has left me utterly astounded, not just for his versatility but also for the sheer fun it brings to my binge-watching sessions.
Blockbusters can emerge from any genre, origin story, or popular cultural figure. While the 2024 movie lineup was shaken up by the box office triumph of “Twisters”, past years have witnessed the two cinematic adaptations of the “Downton Abbey” series earning a significant profit. Interestingly enough, these two pop culture phenomena are surprisingly linked, providing the cast of “Downton Abbey 3” with a chance to pause from filming and celebrate together!
Twisters’ Big Connection To Downton Abbey
In a different phrasing, it’s important to clarify that Daisy Edgar-Jones’ character Kate is not secretly related to the Crawleys through the Levinsons due to some hidden easter egg or spoiler. Instead, there exists an intriguing link between them as actor Harry Haddon-Paton played Ben in Twisters, a role that happens to be an English journalist, which could potentially lead to a unique connection with the Kate character.
If you’re a fan of Downton Abbey and find yourself wondering why Bertie Pelham, played by Michael C. Haddon-Paton as Lady Edith’s on-screen husband, seemed to have disappeared amidst all the turmoil, don’t fret! Here’s an ad that brings him back into focus:
Indeed, it’s accurate that the character who experiences a dash of excitement at Tyler Owens (portrayed by Glen Powell) is none other than the 7th Marquess of Hexham from Julian Fellowes’ beloved drama series. To be truthful, the eyeglasses and casual attire might have left even the most diligent viewers in a bit of perplexity.
It wasn’t puzzling that the thoughtful writer character portrayed by a ‘The Crown’ alum played a role in fostering the developing romance between Tyler and Kate, which may have contributed to audience confusion over the removed kiss scene in ‘Twisters’. The photographing of Kate in the field by Ben likely exacerbated this issue.
Regardless of the outcome, Mr. Haddon-Paton’s involvement made a positive impact on the fast-paced action/adventure film that shares its universe with the original Twister. This development was significant enough for the cast of Downton Abbey 3 to momentarily halt their 2025 production, choosing instead to celebrate and pay tribute to cinema!
How The Downton Abbey Cast Celebrated Harry Haddon-Paton’s Role In The Film
With the filming of the third Downton Abbey installment in full swing, it’s no surprise that stars like Hugh Bonneville, Allen Leech, and Michelle Dockery are keeping quite busy. However, even amidst their hectic schedules, they managed to enjoy a fun outing together, which Hugh Bonneville affectionately referred to as a “Downton Family Outing.” They went to watch the movie Twisters, and Harry Haddon-Paton was along for the ride too!

Ever since the beginning of the original run of the ITV series “Downton Abbey,” the cast has always been known for their playful and light-hearted moments. It’s quite possible that during the filming of “Downton Abbey 3,” Haddon-Paton’s fellow actors might begin teasing him about his role. One may even slip up and call him “Ben” on set. Somebody might even be placing bets on who will be the first to make this mistake, but it wouldn’t surprise anyone if there were already wagers being made in relation to that possibility. After all, betting on events related to “Downton Abbey” isn’t unheard of.
Title “Downton Abbey 3” is preparing for its theatrical premiere on September 12, 2025. However, you can stream the entire series right now by subscribing to Prime Video.
