Joe Alwyn failed to raise a smile as he was seen for the first time since his split from Taylor Swift was revealed.
The actor, 32, looked forlorn as he stepped out in London on Wednesday, keeping a low-profile as he navigated his way through the busy streets of the capital.
He has yet to speak out on the news that he and girlfriend of six years Taylor have parted ways but was seen having an animated conversation on the phone.
Wrapped up against the chill, Joe donned a navy fleece jacket layered over a polo shirt and teamed with baggy jeans.
The Catherine Called Birdy star completed the look with a pair of brown suede boots and clutched onto brown printed cardigan.

While Joe has been keeping a low-profile in the United Kingdom, Taylor has been performing across North America on her Eras tour.
The singer, 33, took to the stage just days after it emerged they split, with many fans questioning how she was doing over recent weeks.
And during the concert, one attendee in the crowd held up a sign which read ‘Are you OK?’, which got into the Grammy Winner’s eyeline whilst she sang Delicate.
In the moment, which was captured on camera and shared by many guests, Taylor appeared to respond to the sign by holding a thumbs up in it’s direction.
Fans were overjoyed with the moment, as they sweetly shared that it was ‘what they needed’ to know she was doing alright.
Sharing the moment to social media, one attendee wrote over the clip: ‘I don’t I’ll ever get over the fact someone held up the sign “you ok” and Taylor responding with a 👍’.
Fans then united to share their joy that Taylor had confirmed how she was doing with the subtle moment.
‘This is so cute bc be honest we’re all a little worried. Our girl has a lot going on at the moment,’ one TikTok user commented.

‘They really made a go of it and tried everything they could but ultimately were unable to save the relationship,’ the source concluded.
News of the pair’s split broke over the weekend but a source told ET that Joe and Taylor amicably parted ways ‘a few weeks ago.’
‘The relationship had just run its course,’ the insider added. ‘It’s why [Alwyn] hasn’t been spotted at any shows.’
