Sam Taylor Johnson said that there are times when the scrutiny on her controversial age gap with Aaron Taylor-Johnson is „uncomfortable.“
It’s a real-life “May December.”
Director Sam Taylor-Johnson, 57, made a rare comment about her marriage to actor Aaron Taylor-Johnson, 33 – who is reportedly in talks to be the next James Bond.
“There are times where it’s uncomfortable,” Sam told The Hollywood Reporter in an interview published Wednesday, referring to the attention that she and Aaron get for their 24-year age gap.
“Most of the time we zone it out and stay pretty private. We tend to retreat. Kids and school runs keep you pretty grounded.”
Sam, who directed “Fifty Shades of Grey” and is also directing the Amy Winehouse biopic “Back to Black,” met Aaron (then Aaron Johnson) on the set of the movie “Nowhere Boy” which he starred in and she directed. He was 18 years old, and Sam was 42.
