For several months now, the film industry has been trying to know the name of the next agent 007. Although several actors have been considered for the role, one seems to receive unanimous approval, alongside Callum Turner<\/a><\/strong> and Jacob Elordi<\/a><\/strong>. Indeed, many are picturing Aaron Taylor-Johnson<\/strong> wearing the tailored suit worn by Daniel Craig<\/a><\/strong> up until now, in the upcoming adventures of James Bond<\/strong><\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aaron Taylor-Johnson as the new James Bond?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It must be said that the 35-year-old British actor has everything it takes to conduct this huge mission, which he has reportedly already auditioned for. The rising Hollywood star possesses the perfect blend of bulging muscles, piercing blue eyes, and unsettling charisma to portray the legendary gentleman spy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It seems that every costume and every genre, from comedies to tragedies, from charming characters to weirdos, from big productions to indie projects, perfectly fit the intense and versatile Aaron Taylor-Johnson<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From Tenet<\/em> to Bullet Train<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Ready to take risks and radically change his physique, the actor played a teenage superhero nerd (Kick-Ass<\/strong><\/em>), the angry young John Lennon (Nowhere Boy<\/strong><\/em>), a redneck Texan murderer (Tom Ford\u2019s Nocturnal Animals<\/strong><\/em>, for which he won a Golden Globe), a mutant blond (Avengers: Age of Ultron<\/strong><\/em>), a military commander (Christopher Nolan<\/strong>\u2019s Tenet<\/strong><\/em>). Not to mention the mustachioed hitman stuck in a carriage with Brad Pitt<\/strong> in Bullet Train<\/strong><\/em> (2022).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The star of Nosferatu<\/em> and 28 Years Later<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Perhaps, it represents only a tiny fraction of his potential and the mere beginning of his rise to stardom. In 2024, Aaron Taylor-Johnson<\/strong> made three major appearances on the silver screen. First, as a cinema superstar who suddenly disappears in the action movie The Fall Guy<\/strong><\/em>, alongside Ryan Gosling<\/strong>. Then, as a Marvel antihero in Kraven the Hunter<\/strong><\/em>. And finally, as Nicholas Hoult’s best friend in Robert Eggers’s dark remake of Murnau\u2019s 1920s classic Nosferatu<\/strong><\/em>. June 2025 saw the British actor shine in the brilliant 28 Years Later<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yet, working non-stop is not what nourishes an actor who can picture him as an old soul in a young body, given the apparent depth of his wisdom. During his interview with Num\u00e9ro<\/em>, he said that the thing he liked best was spending time with his wife Sam Taylor-Johnson<\/strong> (Fifty Shades of Grey<\/strong><\/em>). The British photographer, video artist, and film director is 23 years older than him and whose name he chose to take.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A normal life in the countryside<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

He also says he likes nothing better than taking his children to school (he is the father of two daughters and step-father to two others), before talking about how normal their life is on a Somerset farm (he divides his time between England and Los Angeles) full of bees, dogs, chickens, and pigs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Indeed, the man who was once a turbulent and self-destructive teenager has even refused blockbusters in order to spend more time with his offspring. With his mix of authenticity, sensuality, and strength, Taylor-Johnson could not fail to seduce fashion house Giorgio Armani<\/strong>, and, as the new face of the Acqua di Gi\u00f2<\/strong> perfumes, he represents a masculinity at once athletic and sensitive, connected to the world and to nature. In other words, an ultramodern, ultra-desirable man…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
