Aaron Taylor-Johnson, 33, discusses fatherhood and gives rare insight into his marriage and ‘creative partnership’ with filmmaker wife Sam, 58
Aaron Taylor-Johnson has given rare insight into fatherhood and his famously private relationship with director wife Sam.
The actor, 33, met the filmmaker, 58, on the set of Nowhere Boy in 2009 and share daughters Wylda Rae, 13, and Romy Hero 11, as well as Angelica, 26, and Jessie, 16, from Sam’s previous marriage.
Speaking to Esquire the Kick-Ass star said despite collaborating with Sam on three films he ‘doesn’t think it’s accurate’ to suggest the couple’s relationship is rooted in their creative partnership.
Saying: ‘Yeah, we worked—I met Sam as actor and director. I think we’re really great at collaborating. But that’s not why I fell in love with her’.
Elsewhere in the conversation he discussed the couple’s home life and his shock that his children were already teenagers.

The family moved back to the UK from Los Angeles last year and have since settled in Somerset where Aaron said he has pigs and bees and ‘loves’ life in the country.
The bullet Train star also spoke about his upcoming acting gigs after originally opting to work less stay to home with his children when they were younger.
Saying: ‘I wanted, purely, to be with my babies, I didn’t want to be taken away from them. I battled with what that would be like.’
He later admitted to the interviewer: ‘I’ve probably talked to you more about my kids and Sam than I have with anybody. I’ve got really nothing to hide, and I’m secure in what we have. But I’m not going to unlock things that are actually precious to me.’
Elsewhere Aaron said James Bond would not be his personal favourite for his next movie role despite rumours swirling he’s in line for the 007 films.
A number of big stars have been named as possibilities for the next 007 flick since Daniel Craig’s left the movie franchise after 2021’s No Time to Die.
And despite having a reported secret meeting with Bond producer Barbara Broccoli, Aaron said he’s favouring the title role in Marvel’s Kraven the Hunter which has been delayed from October 6 until an August 2024 release.
The couple tied the knot back in 2012, after meeting in 2009 on the set of Nowhere Boy – which was Sam’s directorial debut.
