Prepare to See Joe Alwyn in, Well, Everything

The British actor appeared in four films this year—including Oscar hopefuls The Favourite and Mary, Queen of Scots. And he’s only just getting started.

In 2017, British actor Joe Alwyn shot four films across three continents in less than twelve months, and the resulting projects, all of which hit theatres in the latter half of this year, reveal his impressive range in a series of small but critical roles. First came Operation Finale, about the hunt for Nazi officer Adolf Eichmann (Ben Kingsley), with Alwyn as Eichmann’s son. Then there was Boy Erased, a film about gay-conversion therapy, in which Alwyn, alongside a cast including Nicole Kidman, Russell Crowe, and Lucas Hedges, played a closeted predator. The Favourite soon followed, a riotous period piece with Alwyn, as a besotted courtier, revealing a knack for physical comedy opposite Emma Stone.

this month, the twenty-seven-year-old appears in a very different kind of period film, Mary Queen of Scots (December 7). Directed by Josie Rourke, it tells the true story of two young queens who are cousins and rivals for the English crown, with a fierce and brilliant Saoirse Ronan in the role of Mary and Margot Robbie as a powerful yet vulnerable Elizabeth I. Alwyn plays Robert Dudley, Elizabeth’s right hand. “He isn’t driven by politics and ambition and power in the same way as the other male characters,” says Alwyn. “The others try to circle the women and use them for their own advantage. That’s not to say that my character is incapable of doing that, but he has higher priorities or higher feelings—his love and loyalty to Elizabeth.”

Alwyn’s big break came in a shot-out-of-a-cannon moment when Ang Lee cast him, at age twenty-four and fresh out of school, as the lead in the highly anticipated wartime drama Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk. The film stumbled at the box office, but Alwyn remains grateful: “It’s still the most amazing experience I’ve ever had.” Landing a starring role so soon could’ve turned his head, but the young actor stayed focused on his work and re-grouped by taking a number of smaller parts. “Since that film, I’ve tried to make a conscious effort to find projects where, if there were supporting roles where I could learn and be surrounded by a great cast of actors and filmmakers and crew, then that was what I wanted to do.”

That approach led Alwyn to not only create a diverse resume, but also to work with a diverse group of directors. He’s currently shooting Harriet, about abolitionist Harriet Tubman, directed by Kasi Lemmons (Eve’s Bayou). Throughout, Alwyn has retained an apprentice-like humility. “I still find it’s a strange readjustment when you go back to set,” he says. “To do your work in a way where you don’t feel anxious and completely consumed by anxiety, it takes experience and practice.”

His levelheadedness has also helped him navigate the incessant curiosity about his relationship with superstar Taylor Swift. Asked whether anyone gave him guidance, Alwyn says he kept his own counsel. “I didn’t seek out advice on that. Because I know what I feel about it. I think there’s a very clear line as to what somebody should share, or feel like they have to share, and what they don’t want to and shouldn’t have to.”


Prepare-se para ver Joe Alwyn, bem, em tudo

O ator britânico apareceu em quatro filmes este ano – incluindo os esperançosos para o Oscar, The Favourite e Mary, Queen of Scots. E ele está apenas começando.

Em 2017, o ator britânico Joe Alwyn filmou quatro filmes em três continentes em menos de doze meses, e os projetos resultantes, que chegaram aos cinemas no segundo semestre deste ano, revelam seu impressionante alcance em uma série de papéis pequenos, porém exigentes. Primeiro veio Operação Final, sobre a caçada ao oficial nazista Adolf Eichmann (Ben Kingsley), com Alwyn como filho de Eichmann. Depois, houve Boy Erased, um filme sobre a terapia de conversão gay, no qual Alwyn, ao lado de um elenco que incluía Nicole Kidman, Russell Crowe e Lucas Hedges, interpretou um estuprador. A Favorita veio logo em seguida, um filme de época turbulento com Alwyn, como um cortesão indecente, revelando um talento para comédia contracenando com Emma Stone.

Neste mês, o jovem de 27 anos aparece em um filme de época muito diferente, Mary Queen of Scots (7 de dezembro). Dirigido por Josie Rourke, conta a história real de duas jovens rainhas que são primas e rivais da coroa inglesa, com uma feroz e brilhante Saoirse Ronan no papel de Mary e Margot Robbie como uma poderosa e vulnerável Elizabeth I. Alwyn interpreta Robert Dudley, o braço direito de Elizabeth. “Ele não é movido pela política, ambição e poder da mesma forma que os outros personagens masculinos”, diz Alwyn. “Os outros tentam circular as mulheres e usá-las para sua própria vantagem. Isso não quer dizer que meu personagem é incapaz de fazer isso, mas ele tem prioridades mais altas ou sentimentos mais altos – seu amor e lealdade a Elizabeth.

A grande oportunidade de Alwyn veio em um momento de arremesso de canhão, quando Ang Lee o escalou, aos 24 anos e recém-saído da escola, como o protagonista do muito esperado drama de guerra Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk. O filme fracassou nas bilheterias, mas Alwyn continua agradecido: “Ainda é a experiência mais incrível que já tive.” Conseguir um papel de protagonista tão cedo poderia ter virado sua cabeça, mas o jovem ator permaneceu focado em seu trabalho e conseguiu vários papéis coadjuvantes. “Desde o filme, eu tentei fazer um esforço consciente para encontrar projetos onde, se houvesse papéis de apoio onde eu pudesse aprender e estar cercado por um grande elenco de atores, diretores e equipe, então era isso que eu queria fazer.

Essa abordagem levou a Alwyn a não apenas criar um currículo diversificado, mas também a trabalhar com um grupo diversificado de diretores. Atualmente, ele está filmando Harriet, sobre a abolicionista Harriet Tubman, dirigida por Kasi Lemmons (Eve’s Bayou). Todo o tempo, Alwyn manteve uma humildade de aprendiz. “Eu ainda acho que é uma readaptação estranha quando você volta para o set”, diz ele. “Para fazer o seu trabalho de uma forma que não se sinta completamente consumido pela ansiedade, é preciso experiência e prática”.
