Joe Alwyn has made one thing about his two-year relationship with Taylor Swift abundantly clear in the very limited interviews he has given about it: It is private; it is his personal life; and he will not talk about it, nor should he have to.

Ask him about his work, but pretty please don't ask him about Taylor Swift.

In the past, the British actor left a red-carpet interview after politely and briefly answering one question about his girlfriend's foray into American politics.

He has explained to both British Vogue and British GQ why he won't talk about his love life.

'Someone's private life is by definition private,' he told British GQ. 'No one is obliged to share their personal life.'

Okay, but how about a very innocent question about his girlfriend's work? British GQ's Stuart McGurk dared to try one as his final question, asking Alwyn what his favourite Taylor Swift song was. Swift, of course, has written several love songs that could be about him, so there are options.

Alwyn laughed in response.

'I’m just not even going to go into that side of the world,' he said.

Disappointing, sure, but is anyone surprised he wouldn't?
