5 Things You Need To Know About Taylor Swift's New Boyfriend Joe Alwyn

Taylor Swift  just got a new man and if you are anything like most of the world, you know nothing about him, other than he is British actor, he is 26 and his name is Joe Alwyn.

Both of them have been totally secret about their low-key relationship so much so that Swift has apparently been donning wigs and disguises so that she was not spotted by lookyloos while on their dates. 

Thus, The Sun reports Swift is renting a home in North London and has been able to travel across the pond thanks to private planes and "military-like" efforts taken by the Grammy winner's security personnel.

But what we really want to know is: who is this guy? 

Below are five facts you should know about Joe Alwyn: 

1. He is Living With His Parents

Alwyn is the son of a psychotherapist mother and documentary-maker father and guess what? He lives with his mom and dad! He told the Evening Standard in February he was in no rush to leave the serenity of his parents' home. We wonder what Taylor thinks about that?

2. You Have Probably Never Heard of Him, But The Hollywood Reporter Dubbed Him "Hollywood's Next Big Thing"

We had not heard of Alwyn until earlier today, but that does not mean he is not about to be on the tip of everyone's tongue (and not just because he may be dating the world's most eligible bachelorette)—he is about to be huge.

His role in the film was the lead in Oscar winner Ang Lee's Iraq War film, Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk, in 2016. (By the way: T-Swizzle was totally caught heading to see that film right around the time of its release). He also appears in The Sense of an Ending with Matthew Goode and Michelle Dockery. He is also slated to star in the film The Favourite, opposite  Rachel, Emma Stone, Weisz and Nicholas Hoult.

3. He Is not the First Joe She has Dated

Lest we forget, She’s also dated Joe Jonas. He also is not the only guys she is dated who lives with his parents, although Conor Kennedy was in boarding school most of the year, so that one may not count...

4. He is Kind of a Model

The actor has done a photo shoot with one of Swift's besties, Gigi Hadid. Alwyn and Hadid did a Mario Testino shoot for Vogue in September 2016.

5. He's Studied A Lot

He is not just resting on his good looks. He knows that acting is a craft that takes serious study. The 26-year-old has studied theater at both the Drama and City of London School and Royal Central School of Speech in London.
