LOS ANGELES, June 4: Pop star Taylor Swift’s brother, Austin Swift, says he did not have many friends while growing up and watching movies made him feel less lonely.
The 25-year-old actor, who has had roles in “Live by Night” and “I T”, says weighing 250lbs as a teenager left him virtually friendless, reported Vanity Fair.
“I didn’t have a lot of friends. 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,” Austin says.
And although Taylor, 27, knew from a young age that she wanted to be a singer, it took Austin a little longer to find his own path.
“She found singing, and I knew from very early on that that was her direction. She was never going to quit; that was her thing, that was her life … And I was always a little bit, you know, doing this, doing that,” he says. (PTI)
