Joseph Matthew Alwyn is an actor from England. He made his feature debut in 2016 with Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk and has subsequently starred in Operation Finale, The Favourite, Mary Queen of Scots, and Harriet.
Joe Alwyn is talking about his friendship with Taylor Swift a little more.
During a conversation with Elle this week, the British actor, 31, explained why he keeps specifics about his personal life under wraps.
“It’s not really [because I] want to be guarded and private, it’s more a response to something else.”
He said, “We live in a culture that is so increasingly intrusive … the more you give — and frankly, even if you don’t give it — something will be taken.”
Swift, 32, and the Boy Erased actor began dating in 2016. She is “extremely pleased” in their relationship, according to a source who previously told PEOPLE. “He is her pillar of support. Theirs is a mature and great relationship “Added the source.
Swift told Paul McCartney in a Rolling Stone interview in December 2020 that her relationship with Alwyn helps her to be in love and feel like a regular person despite her celebrity life.
She said, “I think that in knowing him and being in the relationship I am in now, I have definitely made decisions that have made my life feel more like a real-life and less like just a storyline to be commented on.”
“Whether that’s deciding where to live, who to hang out with, when to not take a picture … it’s really just trying to find bits of normalcy.”
