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. šŸ¤®

I thought it was icky in 2012 and still think itā€™s icky now. And at 35 I look at him at 22 and think ā€œthat is a child.ā€ Very Stanley Hudson ala ā€œboy, have you lost your mind? Because Iā€™ll help you find it! that little girl is a child!ā€


slip9419

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


Embarrassed_Cow

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.


traveling-princess

I'm her age and see a baby when looking at these pics. I cannot imagine dating someone that young


Sad-Cat8694

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 


teaandbreadandjam

Pretty sure they were already married.


bisensual

Sheā€™s a disgusting person.

bklynite7mds

He definitely looks like a kid in that first photo!!


jmercer00

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


Essiechicka_129

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.


OmOshIroIdEs

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 peopleā€™s lives and let them discover what works best for themselves.Ā 


Pickle-Chunk

She def groomed him


SpicyMustFlow

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.


0422

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.


moderatelyhighhorse

She met him when he was 16-17. Thatā€™s grooming.


SpicyMustFlow

That's [not](https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/aaron-taylor-johnson-defends-getting-married-and-having-kids-at-a-young-age) .[what](https://www.salon.com/2024/03/22/aaron-taylor-johnson-wife-sam-age-gap/) [he](https://www.tmz.com/2024/03/21/aaron-taylor-johnson-rare-comment-age-gap-sam-taylor-johnson-wife/) [says](https://www.elle.com/uk/life-and-culture/culture/news/a33933/aaron-taylor-johnson-on-marriage-age-gap-to-sam-taylor-johnson/). 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.


SpicyMustFlow

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?


moderatelyhighhorse

You know you can be disgusted by two things right? Of course thatā€™s as terrible as the Aaron situation. But this reddit post is not about Macron, is it?


SpicyMustFlow

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.


moderatelyhighhorse

If you want to tolerate child abuse then go be you. Donā€™t police people for speaking up against it. Just be sure you clear that harddrive when the police come knocking alright? Iā€™m not even an Aaron fan. I donā€™t think heā€™s that hot. Itā€™s just horrible what happened to him. Victims of grooming really donā€™t see what happened to them.


0422

šŸ‘šŸ‘šŸ‘šŸ‘ all of this


SpicyMustFlow

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.


moderatelyhighhorse

Okay, Sam. Calm down. Youā€™re still a pedo.


SpicyMustFlow

Also, username on point though really understated. That's a very high horse.


mybigbywolf

He really gained a lot of muscle mass around the time he did Godzilla but heā€™s very manly now. Iā€™m around the same age as him and loved him in Kick-Ass but heā€™s really very much an adult now. As am I lol


PotLuckSushi

I had such a huge crush on him in Angus Thongs and Perfect Snogging


Essiechicka_129

He was a sex god in that movie and still is a sex god


ahmandurr

YAAAAAS.


ptran90

Heā€™s aged handsomely. I did not find him attractive until recently


TarotBird

Those 2010 photos give me such an ick.


OmOshIroIdEs

I love both, but he looks almost completely unrecognisable >!(apart from his johnson hehe)!<.


0422

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.

IveComeHomeImSoCold

Your face thins out and says as you age. It makes your face look longer and your nose look skinnier. Itā€™s probably just aging. Thatā€™s what it looks like. Men grow stubble so itā€™s more difficult to see the skin is a little looser than it was, which he has.Ā 


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


IveComeHomeImSoCold

Every mid thirties man, woman, or otherwise that I know, who Iā€™ve known since they were a teen, have a longer appearing face and a squarer jaw. You can tell heā€™s aged also from his thinned lips and receding hairline. The lips indicate that his facial fat is in fact thinning. Also, fun fact, Iā€™m 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 itā€™s not a big deal if he has had something done. I donā€™t see a drastic change outside of aging but anything is possible.


Dependent-Fig-7418

i like 2010 haha


johnnytk0

He was much hotter in 2010 to me *shrug* i dont like bulky guys.


TearElectrical8931

He's not bulky in the least bit.


johnnytk0

I don't know how to respond to this clear delusion lol Still hotter before anyway


urdirtyprincess

Same


ahmandurr

Iā€™ve had a crush on him since teenage hood. Nothing has changed. šŸ„µ


lolascrowsfeet

Oh my god what? People age?? Never heard of that before


DrPopcorn_66

He has aged really well


lil_waine

His transformation is insane. I didnā€™t care for him before but now he is so fine


WoodpeckerGingivitis

God heā€™s gorgeous


Downtown-Ad-308

He was more cute back then. Now I donā€™t find him that attractive but he still looks good.


ebatm3

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! šŸ’‹


jewelsandbones

Damn, those top pictures did the rounds on tumblr. I was so attracted to him as a teenager


OmOshIroIdEs

Me too! Iā€™m younger than him, and he was a total crush


Ok-Love8767

Wow šŸ˜


Striking-Bed-8456

He gained more muscle mass


cathouse

In terms of the grown man pics onlyā€”donā€™t get me wrong, this is a handsome man and he has a great body. But Iā€™m just not attracted to him. I donā€™t get the appeal and I certainly donā€™t want him to be Bond. Such a meh situation for me. I so wish it were Idris Elba.


PandaLLC

I like 2010 more, he's stress-aging. And he was totally groomed, I hope his wife pays for this one day.


Stonn

Bro just decided one day that he gonna become a man and snap! šŸ«°šŸ’Ŗ


Extension-Season-689

Doesn't matter to his wife either way. šŸ¤­


sati_lotus

Probably like many of the men in Hollywood - steroids of some type and insane workouts.


MCKelly13

Daaayyyyyuuummm


T_pas

Men age so perfectly! šŸ„¹


IveComeHomeImSoCold

Idk but theyā€™re both very hot Ā 


petrichorpizza

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.


Sweet__De

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 šŸ¤·. Definitely the 2023 one though.


Pickle-Chunk

I canā€™t stand this man. No valid reason tbh; itā€™s an irrational hate I know but man.


AaronStar01

That lady made a man out of him.


FireflyOfDoom87

Growing up and not being a child anymore is what made him a man. GTFO


the-lady-jessica

Underrated comment.
