Joe Alwyn has been the center of much media attention in the last few years. That may be news if you’ve been living in a hermetically sealed bunker. But outside that particular and unsolicited spotlight, the dandyish 33-year-old British actor has carved his name out in films from idiosyncratic auteurs. There was Joanna Hogg’s “The Souvenir Part II” as a grieving and queer-flirting film editor; Claire Denis’ sensuous 2022 Cannes Grand Prix winner “Stars at Noon” as a Brit adrift in Nicaragua having lots of sex with Margaret Qualley’s character; and most recently “Kinds of Kindness,” whose director Yorgos Lanthimos he previously starred for as a lusty baron in “The Favourite.”
Alwyn is back this year at Cannes in three roles in “Kinds of Kindness,” co-written with Lanthimos by his friend and “Alps” and “The Lobster” collaborator Efthimis Flippou. Which means we are very much in the mode of old-school Lanthimos,...

The maverick director and his trusted cast on making Kinds of Kindness, the ‘bonkers’ film causing a stir on the Croisette
Joe Alwyn, the British star of one of the most disturbing films to compete at the Cannes festival this year, has given his verdict on making the “bonkers” Kinds of Kindness, which features scenes of group sex, cannibalism and violence and in which Alwyn has to perform a drug rape on the character played by Oscar-winner Emma Stone. “You have to try not to unpack it all too much, or you get it stuck in your head,” he said on Saturday.
The 33-year-old, until now best known as a former partner of Taylor Swift, has been thrust into the glaring lights of Cannes this weekend, but has also had to survive entering the odd imagination of Poor Things director Yorgos Lanthimos. Alwyn said the best way to prepare himself...

Just eight months after filmmaker Yorgos Lanthimos and star Emma Stone unveiled Poor Things at Venice, the duo are back on the festival circuit with Kinds of Kindness. The frequent collaborators faced the press at Cannes, where they tried to define the alchemy between their relationship, which netted Stone an Oscar for Poor Things and also includes The Favourite. Stone brushed off the suggestion that she was Lanthimos’ muse, responding, ““He’s my muse.”
“I feel like I can do anything with him, because we’ve worked together so many times,” said Stone. “I trust him beyond the trust I’ve had with any director, and I’ve been lucky to work with great directors.”
As is common at Cannes, female stars are asked to share their thoughts on the #MeToo movement or being a woman in the industry. In this case, Stone was asked about how her work with...

Yorgos Lanthimos’ “Kinds of Kindness,” starring Emma Stone, freaked out Cannes Film Festival on Friday night with an anthology of stories about sex cults, cannibalism and general debauchery.
Lanthimos’ follow-up to “Poor Things” earned a 4.5-minute standing ovation, with the director and his cast — including Jesse Plemons, Willem Dafoe, Margaret Qualley, Hong Chau and Joe Alwyn — leaving while the applause was still going. “Kinds of Kindness” tells three distinctive stories with cast members playing different roles in each. There were a few walkouts during the Cannes premiere, most of them coming after the film’s gorier, second chapter. Lanthimos abruptly left the screening and didn’t speak to audience members once the clapping stopped.
The film, like many of Lanthimos’ avant-garde offerings, overflows with outré plot twists as well as some outrageous moments — like Chau licking sweat off her followers as part of a cult ritual, a man who becomes...

When TikTok star (and unabashed Swiftie) Chris Olsen walked into Argentina’s Estadio Monumental to watch Taylor Swift’s Eras tour, he immediately felt a “palpable energy” from the crowd after Travis Kelce was spotted in the audience.
Throughout the show on Saturday, Swift had a grin from ear to ear as she incorporated small tweaks to her performance to acknowledge Kelce in the crowd. The fans (including Olsen) in attendance went nuts. And online, clips of the special concert quickly went viral. “It was almost like a movie,” Olsen tells Rolling Stone.

The new track features the 12-time Grammy winner expressing the gut-wrenching feeling of watching a relationship crumble.

In a powerful metaphor, Swift compares herself to a “phoenix always rising from the ashes, mending all the gashes” as she questions whether to let go of or fight for a relationship on the rocks.

In a melancholic chorus, she repeats the poignant words, “Stop, you’re losing me,” emphasizing the fading connection.

Joe Alwyn is back in the spotlight following his split from Taylor Swift. On Monday, the 32-year-old actor stepped out for a Celine dinner hosted by Hedi Slimane in Cannes, France. Alwyn kept things effortlessly cool in a black suit and a satin shirt, which he accessorized with a pair of black sunglasses and a gold necklace. Other notable guests included Kaia Gerber, Future, Blackpink's Lisa, and BTS singer V.
News that Alwyn and Swift had ended their six-year relationship broke on April 8, with "Entertainment Tonight" reporting that they had split "a few weeks" prior. People later confirmed the breakup, citing the reason for their split as "differences in their personalities." Swift and Alwyn have "had rough patches before and always worked things out, so friends thought they would take some time apart but eventually come back together," a source said, but "ultimately" they "weren't the right fit for one another.

Taylor Swift is happy with Matty Healy! Amid speculation that Swift has moved on from Joe Alwyn with The 1975 frontman, a source tells Et that the singer is “enjoying her time with Matty.”
“Taylor and Matty have known each other and have history,” the source explains, “so there’s a comfortability factor there, but also feelings of excitement.”
Neither Swift nor Healy has commented on the romance speculation. Et previously reached out to Swift’s rep for comment.
In April, Et exclusively broke the news that Swift and Alwyn had ended their six-year relationship. Now, the source tells Et, Swift “has moved on from Joe and is feeling great and confident.”
Swift was first linked to Healy earlier this month when he was spotted at the Nashville stop of her Eras Tour. That same weekend, the duo was photographed together.
“Taylor and Matty like each other,” a source told Et shortly thereafter.

Ever since news of Taylor Swift's reported split from long-time boyfriend Joe Alwyn surfaced last month, people appear to be working overtime to try to romantically link the Grammy-winning singer-songwriter to several male celebs. First, it was rumored to be F1 racing driver Fernando Alonso. Then, reports hinted that the "Midnights" singer had moved on with a different famous man, this time potentially Bradley Cooper. By May 4, outlets were reporting it could actually be The 1975 frontman Matty Healy that Swift is dating.
As I scroll past this wild onslaught of "bombshell" speculations every few days, I can't help but wonder: is it really that unfathomable that a brilliant, self-made successful woman may just be . . . single?

Taylor Swift’s fans are convinced her newly released “Lavender Haze” music video contains a subtle yet intentional Joe Alwyn Easter egg.
An early scene in the Grammy-winning artist’s music video, showing a vinyl cover with a printed image of a Pisces and Sagittarius constellation, has gone viral on Twitter.
Many Swifties have noted the Sagittarius symbol corresponds with Swift’s birthday (13 December), while the Pisces refers to her boyfriend Alwyn’s birthday (21 February).
“Joe is a Pisces and Taylor is a Sagittarius… what if I told you Taylor’s a mastermind,” one explained.
A second commented: “They appear on a vinyl cover of Mastermind which has lyrics mentioning stars aligning.”
“And the fish in space!! Pisces = the fish of the zodiac,” a third added.
Another went further with the theory, tweeting: “Wait hold up... how am I just realising this.
