Grateful for you forever.'

Taylor said she's only a three or four minute drive from him so they've been hanging out during quarantine.

"So we just became a lot closer!"

The Marco actor also pointed out that they've been doing a lot of press together for the movie so that's another reason they're so close.

Meanwhile, Joey's ex and onscreen boyfriend Jacob Elordi has responded to claims he looks miserable in the movies.
