Aaron Taylor-Johnson Claps Back at Criticism Over 23-Year Age Gap With Wife Sam

The couple met on the set of her film, 'Nowhere Boy,' when he was 18 and she was 42.

For Aaron -- who combined his last name from birth (Johnson) with his wife's (Taylor-Wood) to create their new surname -- that meant an engagement and becoming a stepfather to Sam's two older daughters, then 12 and 4, at just 18 years old. Despite the heavy criticism that the couple has received for their age gap of more than two decades, Aaron and Sam are coming up on their 12-year wedding anniversary in June and are seemingly just as happy as ever. When asked about the rumors that he will play the next James Bond, the actor -- who is slated to appear in Ryan Gosling's The Fall Guy and Sony/Marvel's Kraven the Hunter before the end of the year -- reportedly sat in silence and changed the subject.
