Aaron Taylor-Johnson, the acclaimed actor who’s been swirling in the rumour mill as the potential new James Bond, recently clapped back at critics questioning his marriage’s 24-year age gap.
AARON TAYLOR-JOHNSON AND HIS WIFE
In a candid interview with Rolling Stone UK, the 33-year-old actor brushed off the age gap critique as “bizarre.” He highlighted his early start in the entertainment industry, according to the New York Post.
“I’ve been in the game since I was six, doing what most folks do in their twenties,” Aaron asserted.
He shed light on his extensive experience starting his professional career at the tender age of six.
AARON TAYLOR-JOHNSON’S FILM CAREER
The actor, famed for his roles in films like “Kick-Ass” and “Nowhere Boy,” tied the knot with director Sam Taylor-Johnson in 2012. He was 22 and she was 45.
Their union, however, has been under constant scrutiny due to the significant age difference.
But for Aaron, age is just a number.
“You’re living life at your own pace. What’s the rush?” he quipped.
He shrugged off societal norms dictating the speed of one’s life journey, as reported by the Independent.
AARON TAYLOR-JOHNSON AND HIS WIFE’S RELATIONSHIP DYNAMIC
The couple’s romance blossomed on the set of Nowhere Boy in 2009.
Aaron Taylor-Johnson portrayed John Lennon under Sam’s direction.
The public eye has been fixating on their relationship dynamics.
Aaron lauds Sam as not just his life partner but also a remarkable filmmaker and storyteller.
PROTECTING HIS FAMILY
Yet, behind the glitz of Hollywood, Aaron admits to feeling a sense of protectiveness towards his family.
“Criticism isn’t always ‘Kick-Ass’,” he confessed.
He acknowledged the weight of public opinion on their private affairs.
With children from Sam’s previous marriage and their own, Aaron navigates the delicate balance between family and career.
NORMALCY IN HOLLYWOOD
He strives to maintain normalcy amidst the chaos of Tinseltown.
As murmurs about his potential portrayal of the iconic British spy intensify, Aaron remains tight-lipped.
Sources hint at a formal offer on the table from EON Productions, the powerhouse behind the James Bond franchise according to Time.
If Aaron steps into James Bond’s shoes, he’ll follow in the formidable footsteps of Daniel Craig. Craig had previously embodied the suave agent for over a decade.
CHOICES ARE PERSONAL
In the midst of this speculation, opinions vary on whether Aaron’s age gap with Sam should even be a point of contention.
Some argue that love knows no age, while others question the dynamics of power and influence in such relationships.
Ultimately, whether Aaron assumes the mantle of James Bond or not, his stance on his marriage serves as a reminder that life’s choices are personal. Societal norms are meant to be challenged.
