Joe Alwyn recently shared a still from his upcoming film “Kinds of Kindness” with Emma Stone on Instagram, followed by a parody photo of them as cats. The film is directed by Yorgos Lanthimos and is a follow-up to their previous collaboration in “Poor Things.” Alwyn and Stone have been friends for a long time, having worked together in “The Favourite” as well. Stone praised Alwyn, calling him one of the sweetest people she has ever met, and found comfort in his presence during the darker scenes in the movie.
Alwyn and Taylor Swift ended their six-year relationship in 2023, with Swift’s subsequent fling with The 1975’s Matty Healy inspiring much of her recent album, “The Tortured Poets Department.” The album contained references to Alwyn and several songs expressing her feelings towards both Healy and critics of her choice in partners. Swift’s mention of London pub The Black Dog, where Alwyn is allegedly a regular, led to a flurry of Swifties descending on the bar in search of her ex. The pub started selling Swift-themed items to cater to the sudden increase in foot traffic.
During their relationship, Alwyn and Swift kept their romance private, partly due to the intense scrutiny from Swift’s fans. A source close to the couple revealed that Alwyn, who is shy, was uncomfortable with the attention that came with dating a famous pop star. Despite their breakup and Swift’s album referencing their relationship, Alwyn has remained quiet about the split. Interestingly, Alwyn is still working with one of Swift’s collaborators, Emma Stone, who contributed to the song “Florida!!!,” which features Florence and the Machine.
Alwyn’s promotion of “Kinds of Kindness” with Stone showcases their playful dynamic, with the cat-themed parody photo adding a lighthearted touch to the film’s promotion. Alwyn and Stone’s friendship has endured beyond their professional collaborations, with Stone describing Alwyn as a supportive and kind presence during their time working together on set. Despite their high-profile relationship and subsequent breakup, Alwyn and Swift have managed to maintain their privacy and keep their personal lives out of the public eye, a strategy that served them well during their time together.
Overall, Alwyn’s playful promotion for his new film with Stone offers a glimpse into their dynamic as friends and collaborators. Their professional relationship has continued to thrive despite the end of Alwyn’s romance with Swift, who used their breakup as inspiration for her recent album. As Alwyn keeps a low profile and refrains from commenting on their split, his focus remains on his career, including his upcoming projects with Stone and other talented individuals in the entertainment industry. Despite the public scrutiny and attention that comes with dating a high-profile celebrity, Alwyn continues to maintain his privacy and focus on his work.
