Emma Stone raved about her co-star Joe Alwyn as she promoted their upcoming eccentric new film, Kinds Of Kindness.
Stone, who stars opposite Alwyn in the Yorgos Lanthimos directed film, described the actor as ‘one of the sweetest people’ as she promoted the film in a press release obtained by People.
‘I love Joe,’ Emma said in the release. ‘We had to do some pretty dark stuff on this one, so it was extremely comforting to be with him because he’s one of the sweetest people you’ll ever meet.’
Alwyn – who famously dated Taylor Swift for six years – plays ‘Collectibles Appraise Man 1/Jerry/Joseph’ in the film, according to IMDb.
‘A man seeks to break free from his predetermined path, a cop questions his wife’s demeanor after her return from a supposed drowning, and a woman searches for an extraordinary individual prophesied to become a renowned spiritual guide,’ IMDb describes the film.
It’s set for release on June 21.
Kinds of Kindness is not the first time Stone and Alwyn have appeared in a film together, as the duo both worked on The Favourite, another movie directed by Lanthimos.
It comes nearly a year after the end of Joe’s relationship with Taylor.
A source recently told People that the Grammy Award winner’s ex Joe is ‘dating and happy’ amid the release of her 11th studio album The Tortured Poets Department.
‘He’s a great guy and not into drama in any way,’ the insider said, noting that Alwyn ‘moved on’ from Swift, 34.
After their 6-year relationship ended last year, the source said he ‘certainly doesn’t talk poorly about her,’ adding: ‘He was in love with her, and it just didn’t work out.’
Alwyn is ‘doing well’ and ‘focused on work’ as the source noted, ‘Joe loves acting, but can’t stand the attention that comes with it. He’s not comfortable in the spotlight.’
Swift appeared to take aim at Alwyn on multiple tracks from TTPD, which left him ‘slightly disappointed, but not surprised at all,’ a source previously told DailyMail.com.
‘There has been absolutely zero contact between them,’ they said. ‘She did not run these songs by him, but he did not expect her to.’
The source added: ‘She didn’t really trash him or defame him. Joe is not going to react to this.’
Alwyn has since reportedly banned any questions about the album and his relationship with Swift from the upcoming press tour for his movie Kinds of Kindness.
Swift dated Alwyn from 2017 to 2023, during which the 14-time Grammy winner mostly retreated from the spotlight.
They won a Grammy together for Album of the Year in 2021 after he co-wrote and co-produced several tracks on Folklore under the pseudonym William Bowery.
The pair was also nominated for the same award a year later for Evermore.
