Joe Alwyn opted for a quiet bike ride around London on Boxing Day, showcasing a serious demeanor while riding a Lime e-bike. The actor, famous for films like The Favourite and The Brutalist, was dressed warmly in a black jacket and light blue jeans as he braved the chilly December weather.
Regardless of the holiday spirit, Alwyn’s mood appeared gloomy. With tousled hair and no visible smile, his expression led to speculation among onlookers about whether he was experiencing post-holiday sadness or simply had something on his mind.
This ride follows a difficult year for Alwyn, highlighted by the end of his six-year romance with international star Taylor Swift in April 2023. While their split was discreet, Swift’s new relationship with NFL player Travis Kelce has become a popular topic in the media.
Swift and Kelce have enjoyed a joyful public presence lately, filled with romantic outings and Swift’s appearances at his Kansas City Chiefs games, including their recent match against the Houston Texans. Their seemingly perfect romance has sparked curiosity about how Alwyn might be managing his feelings as he observes from the sidelines.
A Notable Year for Alwyn Fans
Despite these challenges, Alwyn‘s year wasn’t entirely lacking in positives. He continued to excel in his acting career, featuring in acclaimed films like The Brutalist and Kinds of Kindness. Looking ahead, he is set to appear in two adaptations of Shakespeare: Hamlet, directed by Oscar-winner Kenneth Branagh, and Hamnet, inspired by Maggie O’Farrell’s popular novel.
While his career progresses well, Alwyn’s quiet public presence has led to discussions regarding his emotional state since the breakup. Unlike Swift’s very public love life, Alwyn has kept a lower profile, avoiding social media and major events in favor of privacy.
Peddling through London, despite his cold-weather attire, Alwyn’s serious expression contrasted sharply with the festive celebrations happening all around. Was he contemplating his future projects, or perhaps reflecting on a year filled with ups and downs?
