Joe Alwyn, known for his roles in movies like “The Favourite” and “The Brutalist”, recently shared an unforgettable childhood story during his appearance on “The Drew Barrymore Show” on Friday.

Alwyn, who dated Taylor Swift from 2017 to 2023, revealed a mischievous prank he pulled at the age of eight that took a shocking turn.

“When I was about eight years old, I thought it would be a fun idea to prank the neighbors,” Alwyn explained that he and his older brother, Thomas, wrote ‘threatening prank-y’ letters, dipped them in fake blood from a toy store, and then distributed them to every mailbox on their block.

The prank, which started as innocent fun, quickly escalated. “My parents got back from a dog walk, and the phone rang,” Alwyn said. A concerned neighbor called to ask if they had received one of the alarming letters. At first, the brothers found the unfolding chaos amusing.

“We thought this was funny because it was working! Success!” he admitted. However, their excitement turned to dread as they watched the situation spiral. “The street was quickly filled with the entire neighborhood in tears, screaming, and worried,” he recalled.

Things became more serious when the police were called. “I’m not joking; this is true,” Alwyn said. Officers arrived on the scene, and even Scotland Yard received a report. Alwyn and his brother soon confessed to their parents and the authorities.

“I don’t remember what the policeman yelled at me, but they yelled,” He shared that he genuinely thought the prank might lead to his arrest. Thankfully, the ordeal ended without major consequences.
