Joe Alwyn, famously known as Taylor Swift’s former partner, captivated audiences with his debut on Late Night with Seth Meyers. The 33-year-old actor appeared Tuesday to promote his Golden Globe-winning film, The Brutalist, marking a significant milestone in his career.

Fans flooded social media with praise for Alwyn’s poise and charm. One fan shared, “So happy to see Joe in his debut night-time talk show! I love his understated sense of humour that runs through his answers. The Brutalist needs to be seen on the big screen!” Another admirer gushed, “He’s so lovely. Intelligent, mature, quiet, well-spoken, kind, has humility, and good-looking. Seems like a lovely person. He’s a great actor, phenomenal in The Brutalist!”

This rare public appearance follows Alwyn’s recent comments on his highly publicized breakup with Swift. Reflecting on the challenges of fame, he said, “I have tried just to focus on controlling what I can control. Right from the beginning, I tried to focus on the things that are meaningful for me: friends, family, work, of course.”

He continued, “Noise outside of that... if you let all of that other stuff in and it starts to affect you and your behavior, you’re living from the outside in. And then you’re pretty f---ed.”

Alwyn and Swift dated for over six years before their quiet split in 2023. While their relationship was private, fans speculate Swift’s songs like Gorgeous and London Boy were inspired by him.
