Joe Alwyn, famous for dating superstar Taylor Swift and actor from “The Favourite” and “Kindness of Strangers“, displayed charm in an amusing and flirtatious interaction with viral web series “Chicken Shop Date” host Amelia Dimoldenberg during GQ’s Men of the Year event. The encounter, shared via TikTok on November 27, has since captured the attention of fans eager to see more sparks between the two.
Alwyn & Dimoldenberg’s Encounter
As Alwyn approached Dimoldenberg on the red carpet, the host greeted him with a playful tune, singing “Hello, Joe,” before laughing at her own antics. Alwyn, ever the gentleman, reassured her with a warm, “I liked it.” The banter set the tone for the lighthearted exchange, with Dimoldenberg probing into Alwyn’s party habits. When asked if he was more of a “party person or a party pooper,” the actor quipped, “Well, you hope a party person,” later adding, “you need balance.”
The discussion then veered toward architecture—a fitting topic for Alwyn, who stars in the upcoming film “The Brutalist“, about an English architect. When asked to name his favorite piece of London architecture, Alwyn picked the Barbican, a performing arts center admired for its modernist design. Dimoldenberg playfully chimed in, calling his choice “classic” and revealing that she would have chosen the same, leading Alwyn to declare them “kindred spirits.”
Reflection On the Not So ‘Swift’ Romance
This exchange comes amid a period of personal recalibration for Alwyn, whose six-year relationship with global pop icon, Swift, ended in early 2023. The breakup, though amicable, has been a frequent topic of public discourse, with fans speculating about its impact on both Alwyn and Swift. Alwyn’s preference for privacy remains steadfast despite the scrutiny. This fan compared the lyrical content of Swift’s newest album, The Tortured Poet’s Department, to her relationship separation. The Grammy nominated album has been interpreted by many as capturing the emotional aftermath of their breakup, with some tracks speculated to reference Alwyn. Many songs have been heavily speculated to be about Swift’s relationship with The 1975‘s lead singer Matty Healy.
In a June interview with The Sunday Times, Alwyn reflected on the end of the relationship: “As everyone knows, we together—both of us, mutually—decided to keep the more private details of our relationship private. It was never something to commodify and I see no reason to change that now.” He also acknowledged the challenges of navigating such a high-profile breakup, stating, “I would hope that anyone and everyone can empathize and understand the difficulties that come with the end of a long, loving, fully committed relationship.”
Alwyn featured his song writing skills on Swift’s song “Sweet Nothing“. Which features the lyrics, “On the way home, I wrote a poem. You say, “What a mind”. This happens all the time, ooh, ooh” which ends with the lyrics, “They said the end is comin’ (they said the end is comin’). Everyone’s up to somethin’ (everyone’s up to somethin’). I find myself runnin’ home to your sweet nothings”
