Everyone knows Taylor Swift, a popular pop singer who is one of the most famous personalities in the world. However, do you know that the singer has a brother, Austin Swift who is her greatest friend, “best pal.”
Born on March 11, 1992, Austin and Taylor Swift grow together on a Christmas tree farm in rural Pennsylvania. When Austin was 9, his family transferred to Nashville to build Taylor’s music career.
In an interview with Vanity Fair, he revealed, “She found singing, and I knew from very early on that that was her direction,” he told Vanity Fair in 2017. “She was never going to quit; that was her thing, that was her life.”
When her sister was building and progressing in music, he discovered his keen interest in theater and movies. To pursue his dream life, he went to study film at the University of Notre Dame, there, the actor decided to work on the films and it was one of the first times when he tried his hand on acting.
Austin told PEOPLE in April 2018, “I’m pretty reserved in most circumstances, so [acting] never seemed like it would be a good fit. But I kind of got thrust into it and realized that it could be an opportunity to be creative.”
Now, he is constantly working on movies and also trying his hand. With a handful of acting and producing credits now under his belt, Austin is making a name for himself in Hollywood and beyond.
Though many Swifties know him, there are still many people who don’t know much about him. So, who is he? From making his debut in acting to supporting her sisters.
Taylor Swift’s Brother Austin Loves Film!
Just like Taylor, Austin went through a lot of things, one of them being an outcast. When he was in high school, he weighed 250 lbs, which made him insecure.
Also, he was social, and she was because he had limited friends. During one of the interviews, he revealed, “I would go to the movies, and Daniel Craig was my friend, and Christian Bale was my friend, and Clive Owen was my friend, and Viggo Mortensen was my friend.”
When he realized his love for the film, he decided to go to the University of Notre Dame, where he started to explore more theater acting. In 2015, Austin graduated from the university with a bachelor’s degree in film studies. As he moved forward, he realized that he has a keen interest in science fictional movies, which makes him more vulnerable to try these things.
