Joe Alwyn reveals how Rihanna played key role for ‘Hamnet’ cast

Joe Alwyn opened up about Rihanna's role in the making of hit film Hamnet.

The Brutalist actor who starred as Bartholomew Hathaway, Agnes (Jessie Buckley) brother, shared that the cast bonded over Rihanna's We Found Love while working on the Chloé Zhao-movie film.

"I think it was the last day we were at the globe [the team] built," the 35-year-old told Entertainment Tonight during the Oscars red carpet. "Chloé threw on Rihanna and everyone jumped around. It was a fun party."

Marvelling over how much he enjoyed working on project, Alwyn said, "You never know how anything is going to be received. I felt like I was working with special people and special material."

"You just hope you have a fun time making it, so seeing people enjoy the movie and responding the way they have is really cool," he added.

The hard work paid off with Hamnet has won over 15 awards this year including Buckley’s Beast Lead Actress accolade at the Academy Awards.

Hamnet, originally a novel, is written by Maggie O'Farrell and directed by Chloe Zhao. 

It follows young Shakespeare (Paul Mescal) and Agnes (Buckley) grappling with the tragic loss of their 11-year-old son.
