'Kinds of Kindness' star Joe Alwyn says he 'trusts' Taylor Swift pal Emma Stone during their filming
Actor Joe Alwyn recently opened up about filming intimate scenes with Emma Stone in their new movie 'Kinds of Kindness,' directed by Yorgos Lanthimos. In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Alwyn discussed the significance of trust and familiarity when shooting sensitive scenes, particularly emphasizing his previous work with Lanthimos and Stone.
"In Yorgos’ films, characters often go to uncomfortable places and do uncomfortable things,” Alwyn explained. He noted that despite the darker nature of certain scenes, the set's atmosphere remains light and friendly. “It doesn't feel like you're in a dark environment. It's all pretty light: People are friendly, people are joking.”
Reflecting on his experience working with Lanthimos and Stone in their 2018 film 'The Favourite', Alwyn expressed his confidence in the director and his co-star.
"Having done those scenes with Yorgos as the director, I trust him and Emma,” he said. “That familiarity and trust is a huge part of it. If you are there with people you trust and admire and love, then it’s a lot easier.”
Alwyn, widely recognized for his six-year relationship with Taylor Swift, highlighted the ease that comes with working with trusted colleagues. Notably, Swift has been friends with Emma Stone since their teenage years.

Taylor Swift shades haters with Kim Kardashian diss track 'thanK you aIMee' at London concert
Taylor Swift took a stand against her critics during her London concert at Wembley Stadium on Saturday, June 22. Before debuting her highly anticipated track 'thanK you aIMee,' believed to be aimed at Kim Kardashian, Swift addressed the audience with gratitude and defiance.
Reflecting on the overwhelming support from her fans, Swift expressed her amazement at performing at Wembley multiple times this summer. "I was thinking about getting to play Wembley Stadium. That’s not remotely normal (and) it is so insane for you to (have) done that for me and for my crew because we get to play Wembley Stadium eight times this summer,” she told the crowd. "You clearly thought this was a good idea (and) you wanted this to happen. Blows me away. I’ll spend forever trying to thank you for that."
Swift then turned her attention to her detractors, stating, "On the other hand, it really makes me think about how every time someone talks s**t, it just makes me work even harder and it makes me even tougher." She credited the negativity she has faced throughout her career for making her more resilient.
The moment served as the perfect lead-in to 'thanK you aIMee', a track reportedly addressing her feud with Kardashian. The long-standing conflict originated from disputes over Kanye West’s song 'Famous', with Swift claiming she never approved of the controversial lyrics that led to their public fallout.
