Actor Aaron Taylor-Johnson recently opened up about the big age gap between him and his wife Sam Taylor-Johnson in an interview. Aaron is 33 years old, while Sam is 57 – that’s a 23-year difference in their ages.
They first met in 2009 when Sam directed Aaron in the movie “Nowhere Boy.” At the time, Aaron was just 18 years old. Despite the large age gap, they fell in love and got married in 2012.
Their relationship caused a lot of talk and criticism from people who thought the age difference was too much. In the interview with Rolling Stone magazine, Aaron seemed to address those who judged their relationship. He said he doesn’t understand why people criticize others for moving too fast in life. Aaron said, “You’re doing something too quickly for someone else? I don’t understand that. What speed are you supposed to enjoy life at? It’s bizarre to me.”
Today, Aaron and Sam live together on a farm in Somerset, England with their four daughters. They had two daughters together – Wylda Rae in 2010 and Romy Hero in 2012. Aaron is also a step-father to Sam’s two older daughters from her previous marriage.
There were recent rumors that Aaron could become the next actor to play the famous spy James Bond. However, in the interview, Aaron suggested those rumors were not true. He said he doesn’t want to just keep making one action movie after another and get stuck with that kind of role and image.
Overall, Aaron didn’t seem bothered by people’s opinions on his and Sam’s age gap. He said he lives life at his own speed and doesn’t understand why others judge the pace of other people’s lives. His main focus was on his upcoming movie projects.
