Joe Alwyn landed in Nice, France on Thursday in the middle of the 77th Cannes Film Festival.
It’s the first time the 33-year-old actor has been seen in public since his ex-girlfriend Taylor Swift, 34, released several wild tracks about their relationship on her new album, The Tortured Poets Department.
Stone, who stars alongside Alwyn in the Yorgos Lanthimos-directed film, described the actor as “one of the nicest people” while promoting the film in a press release obtained by People .
“I love Joe,” Emma said in the release. “We had to do some pretty dark things on this one, so it was extremely comforting to be with him because he’s one of the sweetest people you’ll ever meet.”
Kinds of Kindness isn’t the first time Stone and Alwyn have appeared in a film together, as the duo both worked on The Favorite, another film directed by Lanthimos.
This comes nearly a year after Joe’s relationship with Taylor ended.
Taylor may have accused her ex-boyfriend Joe of crushing her dreams of marriage and children by sending scathing new lyrics on her album – but the British actor will be keeping a modicum of silence and has not intends to react, say internal sources.
Joe has never publicly addressed his split from the singer, whom he dated for six years from 2017 until their breakup in April 2023.
But Taylor has seemingly bared her soul about the breakdown of their romance on her latest album – with insiders claiming Joe was “disappointed” and has banned any mention of the singer during the upcoming press tour for her new film, Kinds of Kindness. .

Joe is focused on promoting his upcoming film, Kinds of Kindness (pictured with co-star Emma Stone) and has reportedly banned questions about Taylor during promotion.
“There has been absolutely no contact between them,” a source exclusively told DailyMail.com. “He wasn’t the one who led those songs, but he didn’t expect her to.
“Joe listened to the album and he’s slightly disappointed, but not surprised at all.
“She didn’t really defame or defame him. Joe is not going to react to that.
Taylor, who is now dating NFL champ Travis Kelce, has mostly retreated from the spotlight during her time with Joe, with the super-private couple rarely pictured together in public.
They won a Grammy for Album of the Year in 2021 after Joe co-wrote and co-produced a number of tracks from his album Folklore under the pseudonym William Bowery.
They were also nominated for the same award a year later for Evermore.
The insider explained that Joe was more than aware of Taylor’s writing process thanks to the tracks they created together.
“Taylor relies on his connections for almost all of his songs and he admires his artistry,” the source added.
“He made a lot of money from the six songs he wrote for Taylor in the past and he is grateful that their relationship also helped make him a household name.
Joe was not notified of the contents of Taylor’s new album, The Tortured Poets Departments, before its release, according to sources.

Taylor’s album comes just two months before the release of director Yorgos Lanthimos’ upcoming film, Kinds of Kindness, in which Joe stars alongside Oscar-winning actress Emma Stone as his love interest.
“He has an upcoming movie that he’s focused on,” the source said. “He will do press – but will not answer any questions from Taylor.
“Joe has evolved. He doesn’t blame her for what she does. He knows it was normal.
In previous years, the Boy Erased actor refused to publicly discuss their relationship.
“People on the street wouldn’t talk to strangers about their personal lives, so why should I? he said before their split last year.
In 2022, he told Harper’s Bazaar that he “can understand” the point of their relationship since he is a public figure, before adding: “but I don’t see why we always have to answer these questions.” .
“I absolutely expect people to ask these questions. If I put work out into the world, of course people are going to ask me about it,” he added.
But despite being separated for a year, Taylor’s latest record increased speculation about their romance, with the song appearing to accuse Joe of cheating and shattering his vision of the future in songs like So Long, London and Fresh Out the Slammer.
After dropping TTPD, Taylor shared a statement about moving on from the “sensational and painful” period that inspired the album.
“This period of the author’s life is now over, the chapter is closed and barricaded,” she writes. “There is nothing to avenge, no score to settle once the wounds have healed.
“And upon reflection, many of them turned out to be self-inflicted.

“This writer firmly believes that our tears become holy as ink on a page. Once we tell our saddest story, we can free ourselves from it. And then all that remains is tortured poetry.
The album also appears to reference his brief dalliance with The 1975 frontman Matty Healy in the weeks following his split from Joe.
The lyrics refer to a man dressed in a “Jehovah’s Witness costume” – Matty is known for his distinctive black suits – and to typewriters, which feature on stage during his live shows.
We also talk about drug use. The frontman, who is now dating model Gabbriette Bechtel, has spoken openly about substance abuse in previous interviews.
Their fling, which neither party has confirmed, ended as quickly as it began after Taylor received backlash from fans over Matty’s “bad boy” image and his “racist” impressions on a podcast.
