Aaron Taylor-Johnson's REAL Bond Girl: Inside 'new 007 star's' fiercely private marriage to filmmaker and mother-of-four Sam who has battled cancer twice - after pair met when he was just 18 and she was 42


Aaron Taylor-Johnson has reportedly been formally offered the opportunity to play James Bond - taking over from Daniel Craig for the next films.

Actor Aaron, 33, met the filmmaker, 58, on the set of Nowhere Boy in 2009 and they share daughters Wylda Rae, 13, and Romy Hero 11, as well as Angelica, 26, and Jessie, 16, from Sam's previous marriage to art dealer Jay Jopling. A recent poll suggested Idris Elba was still the public's number one choice for the role, despite being 51 - old for a Bond candidate - and already ruling himself out of the running in order to focus on his crime drama, Luther. And he will also be appearing in the hotly anticipated remake of 1922 gothic horror Nosferatu, directed by Robert Eggers and featuring a star-studded cast, including Bill SkarsgÄrd, Nicholas Hoult, Lily-Rose Depp and Willem Dafoe.
