His mother, Elizabeth, is a psychotherapist. \u201cI never felt like I was lying down on the couch and being analysed every evening, which is probably a good thing. But she\u2019s great with people and great to talk to,\u201d he told <em>The Guardian<\/em> in 2022. \u201cIf I didn\u2019t do this [acting], I\u2019d be interested in something like that.\u201d\n<br><br>\nHis father, Richard, is a documentary filmmaker and teacher who sparked Joe\u2019s love of film, often gifting him stacks of VHS tapes. \u201cHe makes fly-on-the-wall, observational stories. I remember him being away a lot, in far-flung places, bringing back cool gifts for me and my brother.\u201d\n<br><br>\nJoe has two brothers: an older brother, Thomas, who works for an NGO, and a much younger brother, Patrick, who was born when Joe was in secondary school. Joe attended a private boys\u2019 school on scholarship and bursary, enjoying sports like football and tennis, while quietly nurturing his theatrical ambitions. \u201cI secretly would look up drama schools online,\u201d he said, recalling an early obsession with Baz Luhrmann\u2019s <em>Romeo + Juliet<\/em> and French films his parents showed him.\n<br><br>\nHe occasionally acted in school productions, playing Banquo in a rollerbladed <em>Macbeth<\/em> and Snowy in a <em>Tintin<\/em> play.

After filming, he returned home, \u201cwalked the dog in pouring rain,\u201d and life continued.\n<br><br>\nFollowing <em>Billy Lynn\u2019s Long Halftime Walk<\/em>, Joe played a string of challenging characters: a slave-owner in <em>Harriet<\/em>, a Nazi\u2019s son in <em>Operation Finale<\/em>, and Masham in <em>The Favourite<\/em>, a comic supporting role opposite Olivia Colman, Emma Stone, and Rachel Weisz. He said he preferred interesting supporting roles with directors he admired over flashy lead parts. \u201cThe idea of being the lead just for the sake of it seems ridiculous.

Alwyn Former Partner Joseph (Joe) Matthew Alwyn is a British actor and songwriter who was Taylor\u2019s partner from September 2016 to April 2023. His accolades include the \u201cTroph\u00e9e Chopard\u201d at the 2018 Cannes Film Festival and a Grammy Award for \u201cAlbum of the Year\u201d as a collaborator on Taylor\u2019s folklore (2020). Table of Contents Early Life and Education Joe grew up in Tufnell Park, a well-to-do neighborhood in north London. His mother, Elizabeth, is a psychotherapist. \u201cI never felt like I was lying down on the couch and being analysed every evening, which is probably a good thing. But she\u2019s great with people and great to talk to,\u201d he told The Guardian in 2022. \u201cIf I didn\u2019t do this [acting], I\u2019d be interested in something like that.\u201d His father, Richard, is a documentary filmmaker and teacher who sparked Joe\u2019s love of film, often gifting him stacks of VHS tapes. \u201cHe makes fly-on-the-wall, observational stories. I remember him being away a lot, in far-flung places, bringing back cool gifts for me and my brother.\u201d Joe has two brothers: an older brother, Thomas, who works for an NGO, and a much younger brother, Patrick, who was born when Joe was in secondary school. Joe attended a private boys\u2019 school on scholarship and bursary, enjoying sports like football and tennis, while quietly nurturing his theatrical ambitions. \u201cI secretly would look up drama schools online,\u201d he said, recalling an early obsession with Baz Luhrmann\u2019s Romeo + Juliet and French films his parents showed him. He occasionally acted in school productions, playing Banquo in a rollerbladed Macbeth and Snowy in a Tintin play. At university, he applied to four drama schools and was accepted by only one. Career Beginnings People weren\u2019t surprised that Joe wanted to act. \u201cI feel like I\u2019d given enough hints that it wasn\u2019t a complete bombshell,\u201d he told The Guardian. He studied English and drama at Bristol University before attending drama school in London. Immediately after his final showcase, he signed with an agent and was invited to audition for Ang Lee, the Oscar-winning director of Brokeback Mountain and Sense and Sensibility. \u201cThey put me on a plane\u2014I hadn\u2019t been to America before. Within five days, I\u2019d left school, had a visa, and was in boot camp in Atlanta. The first week or two, I was shitting myself,\u201d he recalled. After filming, he returned home, \u201cwalked the dog in pouring rain,\u201d and life continued. Following Billy Lynn\u2019s Long Halftime Walk, Joe played a string of challenging characters: a slave-owner in Harriet, a Nazi\u2019s son in Operation Finale, and Masham in The Favourite, a comic supporting role opposite Olivia Colman, Emma Stone, and Rachel Weisz. He said he preferred interesting supporting roles with directors he admired over flashy lead parts. \u201cThe idea of being the lead just for the sake of it seems ridiculous. I\u2019d much rather play an interesting support role in an interesting film,\u201d he told The Guardian. Relationship with Taylor From September 2016 until April 2023, Joe was in a relationship with Taylor. The couple lived together, primarily in London, and Joe preferred to keep their relationship almost entirely private. \u201cIt\u2019s just not for other people. And I don\u2019t say that with aggression,\u201d he told The Guardian: \u00abI don\u2019t know how best to talk about it. I mean, I\u2019m aware of people\u2019s interest, and that world existing. It\u2019s just not something I particularly care about, or have much interest in feeding, I guess, because the more it\u2019s fed, the more you are opening a gate for intrusion. I think that\u2019s just my response to a culture that has this increasing expectation that everything is going to be given. If you don\u2019t post about the way you make your coffee in the morning, or if you don\u2019t let someone take a picture when you walk out of your front door, is that being private? I don\u2019t know if it is. So I just don\u2019t really feed that.\u00bb Joe Alwyn His own Instagram is strictly work-based, and there is little hint of anything beyond a film set. \u201cIf you and I were having a conversation, and having a shandy in my house, and it wasn\u2019t being recorded, then, of course, other things would be said,\u201d he says, echoing what Taylor told The Guardian in 2019. (\u201cIf you and I were having a glass of wine right now, we\u2019d be talking about it \u2013 but it\u2019s just that it goes out into the world,\u201d she said, back then.) However, his constant efforts to maintain that level of secrecy eventually proved unsustainable for Taylor, and contributed to the relationship\u2019s end. In April 2023, media outlets reported that Taylor and Joe had broken up after more than six years together. Sources close to the two of them confirmed the news. Music and Songwriting One topic Joe has spoken openly about is his unexpected musical collaboration with Taylor, which earned him a Grammy in 2021. When folklore was released, two songs, \u201cbetty\u201d and \u201cexile\u201c, credited a mysterious co-writer, William Bowery. Fans speculated about the identity until Taylor revealed it was Joe, who also co-wrote songs on evermore (2020). \u201cThat was a surreal bonus of lockdown. That\u2019s an understatement,\u201d he told The Guardian: \u00abIt wasn\u2019t like, \u2018It\u2019s five o\u2019clock, time to write a song. It started from messing around on a piano, singing badly, and being overheard. Then it was, \u2018Let\u2019s see what happens if we finish this.\u2019 It was just like baking sourdough in lockdown. The Grammy was this ridiculous bonus.\u00bb Joe Alwyn Joe admitted he never had real musical ambitions. As a teen, he played guitar \u201cawfully\u201d in a school band called Anger Management, covering Marilyn Manson\u2019s version of \u201cSweet Dreams (Are Made of This).\u201d He can play piano \u201cpretty badly,\u201d but never with the intent of releasing music himself.
