Harriet estreou nos cinemas do UK no final do mês passado, por conta disso o Joe concedeu uma entrevista exclusiva para a ‘Evening Standard’ falando sobre os lugares que ele frequenta em Londres e muito mais. Confira:
Minha Londres: Joe Alwyn
O ator faz compras na Redchurch Street, senta-se para assados no domingo no Royal Oak e deseja poder multar as pessoas lentas no metrô.
Casa é…
Norte de Londres. Eu cresci no Tufnell Park e sempre morei perto de lá. Eu amo isso.
Qual foi a última peça que você viu?
Recentemente, fui ver Fleabag, pouco antes de encerrar. Eu tinha visto a série de TV, que é hilária, brilhante e inteligente.
Hotel Favorito?
O Covent Garden Hotel. Gosto que seja pequeno e discreto, e nada pareça muito novo ou moderno.
Ônibus, táxi ou metrô?
Eu tento andar por toda parte. Mas se for preciso, ônibus ou metrô.
Onde você mais gostaria de ser enterrado?
Mórbido! Não posso dizer que penso muito nisso, mas… O cemitério de Highgate é realmente bonito. Ou eu seria cremado e teria minhas cinzas espalhadas em Hampstead Heath, para todos os passeadores de cães.
Onde você recomendaria para um primeiro encontro?
Eu diria uma caminhada ao longo do Tamisa, ou talvez ao longo do canal em direção a Broadway Market. Há um bar de coquetéis divertidos chamado Off Broadway, por London Fields.
Se você pudesse comprar qualquer prédio e morar lá, qual seria?
Não sei se moraria lá, mas gostaria de comprar um pub realmente velho de Londres, com um belo jardim e muitas lareiras.
O que você faria se fosse prefeito por um dia?
Eu baniria muitos carros e as pessoas andariam mais. E eu também aplicaria uma penalidade para as pessoas que andam devagar no metrô. Isso me deixa louco. É um curso de assalto!
Bar favorito?
Para um assado de domingo, gosto do Royal Oak na Columbia Road.
O que faz de alguém londrino?
Um senso intrÃnseco de liberalidade e tolerância. É uma cidade que é celebrada por suas diferenças, o que nos torna únicos e fortes e quem somos.
O que você coleciona?
Pequenas bugigangas de feriados ou cenários de filmes e caixas de fósforos de hotéis.
Em quais lojas você confia?
Gosto da Livraria Muswell Hill, que sempre tem uma boa seleção, e as lojas, cafés e pubs da Redchurch Street. Também o BFI, Kipferl em Camden Passage e Toff’s em Muswell Hill para peixe e batatas fritas.
Você já teve uma briga com um policial?
Nada sobre o que vamos falar.
Para quem você liga quando quer se divertir?
Eu tenho um grupo principal de cerca de seis amigos que conheço desde os 12 anos. Todos moramos em Londres e conversamos praticamente todos os dias. Temos um grupo do WhatsApp, mas o nome é muito embaraçoso para compartilhar!
Onde você se exercita?
Joguei muito tênis enquanto crescia e estou tentando começar de novo. Eu também tenho alguns amigos que escalam, então eu tenho entrado nisso.
O que você está fazendo de trabalho no momento?
Eu tenho Uma Canção de Natal saindo com a BBC. Acabei de começar a trabalhar em Last Letter From Your Lover, com Felicity Jones e Shailene Woodley. E também participei por alguns dias no novo filme de Joanna Hogg, The Souvenir 2.

Joe attended the 22nd British Independent Film Awards on December 1 2019, in London, England. Joe presented the award for Best Documentary to “For Sama”. You can watch a video of Joe presenting below, and see photos of Joe at the ceremony in our gallery.
Joe recently had an interview with the Evening Standard where he shared some of favourite places and things about London. Check it out!
The actor shops on Redchurch Street, sits down to Sunday roast at the Royal Oak and wishes he could fine slow walkers on the Tube
Home is…
North London. I grew up in Tufnell Park and have always lived near there. I love it.
What was the last play you saw?
I recently went to see Fleabag, right before it closed. I’d seen the TV series, which is hilarious, brilliant and clever.
Favourite Hotel?
The Covent Garden Hotel. I like that it’s small and tucked away, and nothing feels too revamped or modern.
Bus, taxi or Tube?
I try to walk everywhere. But if I have to, bus or Tube.
Where would you most like to be buried?
Morbid! Can’t say I’ve given this much thought, but… Highgate Cemetery is really beautiful. Or I’d be cremated and have my ashes scattered on Hampstead Heath, for all the dog walkers.
Where would you recommend for a first date?
I’d say a walk along the Thames, or maybe along the canal towards Broadway Market. There’s a fun cocktail bar called Off Broadway by London Fields.
If you could buy any building and live there, which would it be?
I don’t know if I’d live there, but I’d like to buy a really old London pub, with a nice garden and plenty of fireplaces.
What would you do if you were Mayor for the day?
I’d ban a lot of cars and have people walk more. And I’d also enforce a penalty for people who walk slowly on the Tube. It drives me mad. It’s an assault course!
Favourite pub?
For a Sunday roast I like the Royal Oak on Columbia Road.
What makes someone a Londoner?
An intrinsic sense of liberality and tolerance. It’s a city that’s celebrated for its differences, which makes us unique and strong and who we are.
What do you collect?
Little trinkets from holidays or film sets, and matchboxes from hotels.
Which shops do you rely on?
I like the Muswell Hill Bookshop, which always has a good selection, and the shops, cafés and pubs on Redchurch Street. Also the BFI, Kipferl in Camden Passage, and Toff’s in Muswell Hill for fish and chips.
Have you ever had a run-in with a police officer?
None that we are going to talk about.
Who do you call when you want to have fun?
I’ve got a core group of around six friends who I’ve known since I was about 12. We all live in London and speak pretty much every day. We have a WhatsApp group, but the name is far too embarrassing to share!
Where do you work out?
I played a lot of tennis growing up and I’m trying to start again. I’ve also got some mates who go rock climbing, so I’ve been getting into that.
What are you up to at the moment for work?
I have A Christmas Carol coming out with the BBC. I’ve just started work on Last Letter From Your Lover, with Felicity Jones and Shailene Woodley. And I also popped in for a few days on Joanna Hogg’s new film, The Souvenir 2.
‘Harriet’ is out now
Joe attended the 2019 BFI London Film Festival on October 11 in support of his upcoming film Harriet. Joe was joined by Cynthia Erivo, as well as Clarke Peters and director Kasi Lemmons. You can see photos from the premiere in our gallery, linked below and an interview with Joe as well. Harriet is in theatres November 22 in the UK and November 1 in North America.
HARRIET PREMIERE AT BFI LONDON FILM FESTIVAL
Joe has a new project! Joe will star alongside Shailene Woodley, Felicity Jones, and Callum Turner in the film adaptation of Jojo Moyes’ hit novel Last Letter from Your Lover. The film is being directed by Augustine Frizzell and will begin shooting Monday, October 14th, in Mallorca, Spain. It hasn’t been confirmed yet what Joe’s role will be, but rumours suggest he will be playing Laurence Stirling, the husband of Jennifer Stirling (Shailene Woodley). This is the premise of the story:
The story follows Ellie (Jones), a young journalist in contemporary London who uncovers a series of love letters that tell the story of an intensely romantic but star-crossed affair in the 1960s between Jennifer Stirling (Woodley) and Anthony O’Hare (Turner). As Ellie is drawn into the story, she becomes obsessed with discovering the lovers’ identities and finding out how their love story ends.
Congratulations to Joe on the new role! Further details will be posted once they become available.
Joe attended Toronto International Film Festival to promote his latest film, Harriet. On September 9, Joe, his cast mates, and director Kasi Lemmons did several bits of press for the film, including interviews and photoshoots. Then, on September 10Â Harriet had its world premiere, followed by an after party. You can see photos from all the festivities in our gallery, linked below. Additionally, you can find videos from the two days at TIFF, including a Q&A where Joe spoke about his character, Gideon, for the first time (timestamp: 14:38). Overall the film has received generally favourable reviews, with star Cynthia Erivo expected to be an awards contender.
