Taylor Swift's ex-boyfriend, Joe Alwyn, has issued rare comments about his relationship with the star in an interview promoting his new film, The Brutalist.

When asked whether he feared his relationship with the star would overshadow his career, Alwyn told The Guardian: 'I have tried just to focus on controlling what I can control.'

'Right from the beginning, I've tried to focus on the things that are meaningful for me: friends, family, work, of course,' he added.

'So noise outside of that, I think I've done what lots of people who find themselves in the public eye do, which is just try and ignore it,' he explained, adding, 'If you don't, and if you let all of that other stuff in, and if it starts to affect you and your behaviour, you're living from the outside in. And then you're pretty f-ked.'

When asked if he wanted to move on, the actor responded, 'That’s something for other people to do. We’re talking about something that’s a while ago now in my life.'

He added, 'So that’s for other people. That’s what I feel.'

Alwyn and the 'Shake It Off' singer are believed to have started dating sometime in 2016 after meeting at the Met Gala. Reports of their relationship emerged months later, in May 2017, when they were photographed in Nashville and New York, before their split was confirmed in April 2023 as Swift began her record-breaking, billion dollar-making Eras Tour.
