It’s been 84 years and Joe Alwyn is still being asked about his relationship with Taylor Swift.

Speaking to The Guardian in a new interview, Joe—when asked if he ever worried their relationship overshadowed his career—said, “I have tried just to focus on controlling what I can control. And right from the beginning, tried to focus on the things that are meaningful for me: friends, family, work, of course. 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. 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 fucked.”

He added, “I have great family and friends and real things in my life; those are the things that kept me tethered to the ground. So I don’t know how else to say it, it’s…just in a different room.”

Joe then spoke about collaborating with Taylor (and winning a Grammy) under the pseudonym William Bowery, saying, “Lockdown was a whole host of surprises and that was pretty special. That was not something I would have foreseen.”

The actor also told The Guardian—when asked if he wants to move on—that he had already. “That’s something for other people to do,” he explained. “We’re talking about something that’s a while ago now in my life. So that’s for other people. That’s what I feel.”
