Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Sam Taylor-Johnson found love, despite a 23-year age gap.
The couple originally met when Aaron auditioned for Sam’s directorial debut, Nowhere Boy. According to Sam, her now-husband didn’t have much availability due to his Kick-Ass filming schedule, so he auditioned at her home.
“It was so inconvenient,” Sam, who was going through a divorce with Jay Jopling at the time, recalled during a June 2017 interview with The Sunday Times UK. “In the end, I was like, ‘OK, he’ll have to come to my home.’ I opened my door to John Lennon. I instantly knew he was the guy.”
Sam explained that she shared a “connection” with Aaron while they worked on the project together, saying, “He was very intense and absolutely mind made-up [about us dating].”
Sam and Aaron tied the knot in 2012 before welcoming daughters Wylda and Romy Hero. (Aaron is also stepfather to Sam’s two older children from her previous marriage.)
