Aaron Taylor-Johnson says he ‘did things at 13 most people do in their 20s’ as he defends age gap marriage

Aaron Taylor-Johnson finds the controversy around his age gap relationship ‘bizarre’, and has insisted he grew up a lot quicker than most people.

The Kickass actor, 33, was this week the subject of an international frenzy amid reports he had been chosen as the next James Bond, taking over from Daniel Craig.

But while a source dashed those hopes, insisting there was ‘no truth’ to it, interest around Aaron has remained high, with many looking into his personal life and relationships.

And a major part of his private life is his marriage to director Sam Taylor-Johnson, 57, who is 23 years his senior, and who he began dating when he was just 18, after she directed him on film Nowhere Boy.
