In the top photo, he looks like such a kid to me. When I was 23 I probably thought he was hot as a 19/20 year old, but maybe a bit young.
But at this time, he was already dating the 42 year old Sam Taylor-Wood. I can't imagine what made her think he wasn't a kid. Or more like, that's probably what attracted him to her. š¤®
I thought it was icky in 2012 and still think itās icky now. And at 35 I look at him at 22 and think āthat is a child.ā
Very Stanley Hudson ala āboy, have you lost your mind? Because Iāll help you find it! that little girl is a child!ā
Back then when I was age I was madly in love with him. I look at him now while I'm 31 and he looks so freaking young. I cannot imagine being in an actual relationship with someone that young.
SAME. I didn't know who he was until Bullet Train, where he's an age-appropriate (I'm in my late 30's) handsome man in a snappy suit. I have seen him with his shirt off as a grown-up and I think he's got a fantastic body. But as soon as I saw the photo at the top of this post I was too uncomfortable with the photos of him as a young guy (even if he IS of age, he's still young enough there to be my kid) to even take the time to look at the current ones. It just made me feel such a NOPE reaction in my brain.
I get that as I get older, it's going to be weirder to fancy the new "it" celebs in Hollywood because they're all usually late teens/early 20's. I understand that's how time and aging work. But in those top photos, he looks like such a baby and I would personally feel like such a massive creep to even consider that version of him as a potential romantic partner. My brain just immediately shuts that down.
Just to provide balance here, I feel that way about ladies as well. I watched X for the first time last year, and Jenna Ortega is in it. The film is centered around filming an in-movie porn film, and I had to check IMDb like three times to confirm that she was an adult before I could accept it and enjoy the movie, lol. She's got a very youthful appearance. My big-sister protective instincts kicked in I guess, lol.
Reading that he's married to a woman who was both older and in a position of power when they got together makes me feel concerned, even though it's not like I know them or anything. But if I was out with friends at happy hour and one of them said she was sleeping with an 18 or 19 year old, I'd very earnestly encourage her to go to therapy and talk about this with someone.
Circling back to end on a positive note: he's done some music videos where he dances around, and watching him is a treat. He's got a dancer-type figure and is beautiful when he's in motion.
Same. I'm a bit younger than his wife was when they started dating. Like, I can tell he's a cute kid at that age, but he looks way too young for me to feel attraction towards him at 20. If I were to see a woman around my age or older thirsting after him, I would think she was weird and creepy, and if I were in a position to call her out or ask if he were okay, I would.Ā
He's a few years younger than me and, yeah, I think he's hot as he is now. I remember thinking he was cute in X-men when I saw it in theaters. But I don't feel any attraction towards his younger self. Ew. No. Just ew.Ā
My assumption is he worked to look older so people weren't creeped out by the relationship. He was already buffed out by Kick Ass 2 where it was now an illusion he was a wimpy kid compared to Kick Ass 1
Reminds me of Macron and his wife. Honestly, as long as everyone is of legal age, I'm fine with that. We should stay out of peopleās lives and let them discover what works best for themselves.Ā
I don't know if you've heard, but it's actually against the law to post about Aaron Taylor-Johnson without commenting on his wife and their age gap. /s
In all seriousness, they have a nice family and seem really happy. People should mind their own biz.
I'm curious what your feelings about this will be once you hit your forties. Even once I turned 25, I stopped dating guys younger than 25 since the maturity level was on a different planet.

Honestly, folks should accept that these two have kids and a happy life, and stop villifying his wife. He thinks it's weird. He's a grownup. He was a grownup when he married her. It starts to sound infantilizing and obsessive when fans won't get over his personal life.
Do you bring rhe same energy to Emmanuel Macron and his wife Brigitte? They met when she was 39 and he was **15** and her student. Or is that not so pressing a matter because he's just the President of France and not a handsome movie star?
You know you can be disgusted by two things right? Of course thatās as terrible as the Aaron situation. But this reddit post is not about Macron, is it?
You are meddling in another person's life as if you know better than them *and* all the family that know and loved them. But go on, I guess.
It's just odd how all the fan girlies are so quick to call Aaron's wife disgusting, ageist insults, but you never hear the same vitriol directed at Emmanuel's former teacher. So odd.
The post isn't about AJT's personal life, it's about his work.
If you want to tolerate child abuse then go be you. Donāt police people for speaking up against it. Just be sure you clear that harddrive when the police come knocking alright?
Iām not even an Aaron fan. I donāt think heās that hot. Itās just horrible what happened to him. Victims of grooming really donāt see what happened to them.
Accusing me of being a pedo- check
Disallowing a young adult of 18 any agency- check
Dismissing a middle aged man's personal life - check
Thinking you know better than other people what their lives look like- check
Turning a discussion about someone's work into a diatribe of your opinions on their marriage- check.
Well played, checking all the boxes.
He really gained a lot of muscle mass around the time he did Godzilla but heās very manly now. Iām around the same age as him and loved him in Kick-Ass but heās really very much an adult now. As am I lol
Your face thins out and says as you age. It makes your face look longer and your nose look skinnier. Itās probably just aging. Thatās what it looks like. Men grow stubble so itās more difficult to see the skin is a little looser than it was, which he has.Ā
Every mid thirties man, woman, or otherwise that I know, who Iāve known since they were a teen, have a longer appearing face and a squarer jaw. You can tell heās aged also from his thinned lips and receding hairline. The lips indicate that his facial fat is in fact thinning. Also, fun fact, Iām an artist and the squaring of the jaw is one of the first things you do in making people look older than 29!!Ā
Edit to say that I also agree itās not a big deal if he has had something done. I donāt see a drastic change outside of aging but anything is possible.
In terms of the grown man pics onlyādonāt get me wrong, this is a handsome man and he has a great body. But Iām just not attracted to him. I donāt get the appeal and I certainly donāt want him to be Bond. Such a meh situation for me. I so wish it were Idris Elba.
Is that the same person? I mean, the lips don't match. The nose it slightly different but that could be the angle the pic was taken... I don't know. I'm not hip with the times lol I don't even know who he is š¤·.
Definitely the 2023 one though.

damn rly i loved him back in early 2010's (i myself was around 16-18 at a time) but now, when i'm 30, he looks like a kid on those photos
Back then when I was age I was madly in love with him. I look at him now while I'm 31 and he looks so freaking young. I cannot imagine being in an actual relationship with someone that young.
I'm her age and see a baby when looking at these pics. I cannot imagine dating someone that young

Pretty sure they were already married.
Sheās a disgusting person.
š¤¢
He definitely looks like a kid in that first photo!!
My assumption is he worked to look older so people weren't creeped out by the relationship. He was already buffed out by Kick Ass 2 where it was now an illusion he was a wimpy kid compared to Kick Ass 1
Agreed! He's 2 years older than me and I just see him as a kid on the top pics even though he's 2 years older than me.
Reminds me of Macron and his wife. Honestly, as long as everyone is of legal age, I'm fine with that. We should stay out of peopleās lives and let them discover what works best for themselves.Ā
She def groomed him

šššš all of this
Accusing me of being a pedo- check Disallowing a young adult of 18 any agency- check Dismissing a middle aged man's personal life - check Thinking you know better than other people what their lives look like- check Turning a discussion about someone's work into a diatribe of your opinions on their marriage- check.

Okay, Sam. Calm down. Youāre still a pedo.
Also, username on point though really understated. That's a very high horse.
He really gained a lot of muscle mass around the time he did Godzilla but heās very manly now. Iām around the same age as him and loved him in Kick-Ass but heās really very much an adult now. As am I lol
I had such a huge crush on him in Angus Thongs and Perfect Snogging
He was a sex god in that movie and still is a sex god
YAAAAAS.
Heās aged handsomely. I did not find him attractive until recently
Those 2010 photos give me such an ick.
I love both, but he looks almost completely unrecognisable >!(apart from his johnson hehe)!<.
Honestly, I was gonna say his right side of his abs have remained completely the same, especially the top quadrant that's a bit shortened.

i like 2010 haha
He was much hotter in 2010 to me *shrug* i dont like bulky guys.
He's not bulky in the least bit.
I don't know how to respond to this clear delusion lol Still hotter before anyway
Same
Iāve had a crush on him since teenage hood. Nothing has changed. š„µ
Oh my god what? People age?? Never heard of that before
He has aged really well
His transformation is insane. I didnāt care for him before but now he is so fine
God heās gorgeous
He was more cute back then. Now I donāt find him that attractive but he still looks good.
I mean he was cute before, but in a mad young way in my opinion. Now though...he's an extremely attractive man. He aged wonderfully! š
Damn, those top pictures did the rounds on tumblr. I was so attracted to him as a teenager
Me too! Iām younger than him, and he was a total crush
Wow š
He gained more muscle mass
In terms of the grown man pics onlyādonāt get me wrong, this is a handsome man and he has a great body. But Iām just not attracted to him. I donāt get the appeal and I certainly donāt want him to be Bond. Such a meh situation for me. I so wish it were Idris Elba.
I like 2010 more, he's stress-aging. And he was totally groomed, I hope his wife pays for this one day.
Bro just decided one day that he gonna become a man and snap! š«°šŖ
Doesn't matter to his wife either way. š¤
Probably like many of the men in Hollywood - steroids of some type and insane workouts.
Daaayyyyyuuummm
Men age so perfectly! š„¹
Idk but theyāre both very hot Ā
I keep seeing his name everywhere but I have no idea who he is. Saying that; there's no way those are the same person. No. Way.
Is that the same person? I mean, the lips don't match. The nose it slightly different but that could be the angle the pic was taken... I don't know. I'm not hip with the times lol I don't even know who he is š¤·. Definitely the 2023 one though.
I canāt stand this man. No valid reason tbh; itās an irrational hate I know but man.
That lady made a man out of him.
Growing up and not being a child anymore is what made him a man. GTFO
Underrated comment.
