With The Favorite and Boy Erased premiering soon, Joe has been giving several interviews to talk about his current and future projects; this time he talked with British GQ. Check out the full interview in English and Portuguese below:

Joe Alwyn’s dream scenario was that just maybe after drama school he’d land a small theatre role at the Young Vic, or at best The Old Vic. Yet before he finished the course, and only a few weeks after getting an agent, he got the chance to audition for the lead role in Ang Lee’s latest film, Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk, about a heroic US marine reliving past trauma in Iraq. His co-stars were Kristen Stewart, Vin Diesel and Steve Martin. Before his audition tape was seen, he got a call: Lee would instead like to meet him in New York. It was the first time Alwyn had even been to America. “I literally left school and they put me on a plane.”

He wore every possible layer of clothing – partly due to the cold (it was snowing) and partly to bulk up his skinny frame to look more like a marine. It didn’t quite work: at the end of the audition they asked to see him in just his T-shirt. “You know, I was, like, skinny, long-haired, British…”

Yet two nights in the States turned into ten days. He flew to Atlanta to audition on set – the first he’d ever set foot on – and spent his 24th birthday there. They got him a cake, then Lee gave him the part. “It was… definitely unusual.”

Perhaps just as ridiculous, for the now 27-year-old, is that since Billy Lynn in 2016, Alwyn has appeared in five major films, four of which are out in the next few months. Oh, and did we mention he’s the current Mr Taylor Swift?

Not long after Billy Lynn and his role alongside Jim Broadbent and Emily Mortimer in The Sense Of An Ending, he landed The Favourite, a costume drama from the surrealist director of The Lobster, in which he says lines such as, “I should have you stripped and whipped!” to Emma Stone (Stone: “I’m waiting”). Then he plays Queen Elizabeth I’s lover in Mary Queen Of Scots – the Queen is played by Margot Robbie – written by the creator of Netflix’s House Of Cards. Next is Boy Erased with Nicole Kidman and Russell Crowe playing a couple who send their son to gay conversion therapy (“Something I didn’t know a lot about and you have Mike Pence believing those insane, crazy places”) and in which Alwyn plays the son’s friend. Then Operation Finale, as the son of Sir Ben Kingsley’s Adolf Eichmann, the Nazi who masterminded the Holocaust.

All of which isn’t bad for someone whose sole acting experience before Billy Lynn was, as a child, auditioning for the part of Liam Neeson’s son in Love Actually (“I remember reading some scenes with Hugh Grant and Richard Curtis”).

Working with Kingsley, he says, was a particularly interesting experience, in that he didn’t speak to him.

“I’ve never been on set with someone who didn’t make contact with anyone else and just wanted to stay in their own mental headspace and in their own zone. It was interesting to watch… and also slightly intimidating. But it suited the film. Eichmann’s son loves him but is fearful of him, so it played into that.”

Google Alwyn’s name and you’ll fall into a Taylor Swift-shaped internet vortex, with fan theories rivalling the complexity of Roswell and QAnon picking the relationship apart. The most accepted theories floating around in the Swiftverse being: they first met at the 2016 Met Gala (fans think the track “Dress”, referring to “your buzzed cut” hair, is about his solider-short trim at the time); Emma Stone later set them up; that last year’s “Ready For It” video refers to their years of birth (the “89” and “91” spray-painted on a wall at the start); and that from her “Delicate” video earlier this year, she spells out “Joe” via dancing.

So, for the sake of internet fansites, some fresh meat: his favourite TV show (“The Bridge, but not all-time favourite”); film (“On The Waterfront… or Boogie Nights. I like Paul Thomas Anderson a lot”); and music (“I like rap music. Lykke Li I like a lot”). At school he was sporty – tennis, athletics, football, rugby – loving the latter until he ripped his shoulder muscles (“They never recovered”). He used to support Chelsea, but “I don’t care much about football any more. I’ve gone off it.”

Most telling is his choice of actor – he loves Mark Rylance and Marlon Brando, but his favourite is Ben Whishaw, who, at 37, is only ten years his senior.

“I think it’s tied to the fact I saw him on stage when he was just out of Rada,” he says. “I remember seeing him be Hamlet – I was 14 and thought, ‘I want to do that…’”

Talking of his much-noted private life, he says, “Someone’s private life is, by definition, private. No one is obliged to share their personal life”, which, of course, is fair enough.

But what, I ask, of the dual Instagram shots – on both his and Swift’s accounts of the same desert cactus at the same time? Wasn’t that sending a message?

“No. I didn’t even think of that until I was in New York and someone else mentioned it.” So it wasn’t on purpose? “No, no! It wasn’t purposeful at all!”

The Swift-centered gossip sites will tell you Alwyn still lives at home, with his parents in Tufnell Park, North London. This, he says, is no longer the case (“I mean, I still go there”). But when I ask if this means he has his own place, he demurs, simply saying his parents’ house is “not his base”. Swift, according to reports, has rented a house in the area. Does he still live in North London? “I mean, obviously I’m not going to say exactly where, but yeah.”

The attention has led, naturally, to tabloid scrutiny, with a former classmate describing Alwyn to the Daily Mail as “a quintessential panty-dropper”. What did he think when he read that?

He smiles wanly. “All I will say is that he called me after that, apologising, not realised he’d been tricked by the tabloids.”

Before I depart, I ask a final question. Favourite Swift song?

He laughs. “I’m just not even going to go into that side of the world.” That night, they’ll be snapped hand in hand on a date – fair to say, he already is.

Com The Favourite e Boy Erased próximos da estreia, Joe tem concedido diversas entrevistas para falar sobre seus projetos atuais e futuros, desta vez ele falou sobre isso com a British GQ. Confira a entrevista completa:

O cenário dos sonhos para Joe Alwyn era que talvez depois da escola de teatro ele tivesse um pequeno papel no teatro no Young Vic, ou na melhor das hipóteses, no The Old Vic. No entanto, antes de terminar o curso, e apenas algumas semanas depois de conseguir um agente, ele teve a chance de fazer um teste para o papel principal no filme mais recente de Ang Lee, Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk. Seus colegas eram Kristen Stewart, Vin Diesel e Steve Martin. Antes de sua fita de audição ser vista, ele recebeu uma ligação: Lee preferia encontrá-lo em Nova York. Foi a primeira vez que Alwyn esteve nos Estados Unidos. “Eu literalmente saí da escola e eles me colocaram em um avião.”

Ele usava todas as camadas possíveis de roupas – em parte devido ao frio (estava nevando) e em parte para aumentar o tamanho de sua estrutura para parecer mais um fuzileiro naval. Não funcionou bem: no final da audição, eles pediram para vê-lo apenas em sua camiseta. “Você sabe, eu era, tipo, magro, de cabelos compridos, britânico …”

No entanto, duas noites nos Estados Unidos se transformaram em dez dias. Ele voou para Atlanta para fazer um teste no set – o primeiro em que ele pusera os pés – e passou seu aniversário de 24 anos lá. Eles lhe deram um bolo, então Lee deu a ele o papel. “Foi … definitivamente incomum.”

Talvez tão ridículo, para os atuais 27 anos, seja que desde Billy Lynn em 2016, Alwyn apareceu em cinco grandes filmes, dos quais quatro serão lançados nos próximos meses.

Não muito depois de ‘Billy Lynn’ e seu papel ao lado de Jim Broadbent e Emily Mortimer em ‘O Sentido de Um Final’, ele conseguiu The Favorite, um drama de fantasia do diretor surrealista de The Lobster, no qual ele diz frases como: “Eu deveria te despir e te chicotear! ”para Emma Stone (Stone:“ Estou à espera ”). Em seguida, ele interpreta o amante da Rainha Elizabeth I em Mary Queen Of Scots – a Rainha é interpretada por Margot Robbie – escrita pelo criador do House Of Cards da Netflix. Em seguida Boy Erased com Nicole Kidman e Russell Crowe interpretando um casal que envia seu filho para terapia de conversão gay (“Algo sobre o qual eu não sabia muito e você tem Mike Pence acreditando nesses lugares insanos e loucos”) e em que Alwyn interpreta o amigo do filho. Depois, Operação Final, como o filho de Adolf Eichmann, interpretado por Sir Ben Kingsley, o nazista que planejou o Holocausto.

Tudo isso não é ruim para alguém cuja única experiência de atuação antes de Billy Lynn era, quando criança, fazer um teste para o filho de Liam Neeson em Love Actually (“Eu me lembro de ler algumas cenas com Hugh Grant e Richard Curtis”).

Trabalhar com Kingsley, diz ele, foi uma experiência particularmente interessante, pois ele não falou com ele.

“Eu nunca estive no set com alguém que não fez contato com mais ninguém e só queria ficar em seu próprio espaço mental e em sua própria zona. Foi interessante assistir… e também um pouco intimidante. Mas convinha ao filme. O filho de Eichmann o ama, mas tem medo dele. ”

digite o nome de Alwyn no google e você vai cair em um vórtice da internet em forma de Taylor Swift, com teorias de fãs rivalizando com a complexidade de Roswell e QAnon escolhendo relacionamentos à parte.

Então, para os fansites da internet, um pouco de carne fresca: seu programa de TV favorito (“The Bridge, mas não o favorito de todos os tempos”); filme (“On The Waterfront … ou Boogie Nights. Eu gosto muito de Paul Thomas Anderson”); e música (“eu gosto de música rap. Lykke Li eu gosto muito”). Na escola, ele era esportivo – tênis, atletismo, futebol, rugby – amava o último até rasgar os músculos do ombro (“Eles nunca se recuperaram”). Ele costumava apoiar o Chelsea, mas “eu não me importo muito com futebol. Eu saí disso.

O mais revelador é a escolha de atores – ele ama Mark Rylance e Marlon Brando, mas seu favorito é Ben Whishaw, que aos 37 anos é apenas dez anos mais velho que ele.

“Eu acho que está ligado ao fato de eu tê-lo visto no palco quando ele acabou de sair de Rada”, diz ele. “Eu me lembro de vê-lo ser Hamlet – eu tinha 14 anos e pensei: ‘Eu quero fazer isso …'”

Falando de sua vida privada muito conhecida, ele diz: “A vida privada de alguém é, por definição, privada. Ninguém é obrigado a compartilhar sua vida pessoal ”, o que, claro, é justo.

Mas o que, eu pergunto, das fotos duplas do Instagram – nas contas dele e Swift do mesmo cacto do deserto ao mesmo tempo? Isso não estava enviando uma mensagem?

“Não. Eu nem sequer pensei nisso até estar em Nova York e outra pessoa mencionar isso. ”Então não foi de propósito? “Não não! Não foi proposital de jeito nenhum! ”

Os sites de fofocas dirão que Alwyn ainda mora em casa, com os pais em Tufnell Park, no norte de Londres. Isso, ele diz, não é mais o caso (“quero dizer, eu ainda vou lá”). Mas quando eu pergunto se isso significa que ele tem seu próprio lugar, ele adia, dizendo simplesmente que a casa de seus pais “não é seu lar”. Ele ainda mora no norte de Londres? “Quero dizer, obviamente eu não vou dizer exatamente onde, mas sim.”

A atenção levou, naturalmente, ao escrutínio dos tabloides, com um ex-colega de classe descrevendo Alwyn para o Daily Mail como “uma meia-calça por excelência”. O que ele achou quando leu isso?

Ele sorri discretamente. “Tudo o que eu vou dizer é que ele me ligou depois disso, se desculpando, sem perceber que ele tinha sido enganado pelos tabloides.”

Antes de partir, faço uma pergunta final. Canção Favorita da Swift?

Ele ri. “Eu não vou mesmo entrar nesse lado do mundo.” Naquela noite, eles serão vistos de mãos dadas em um data especial- justo dizer, ele já está.
