Aaron Taylor-Johnson's age-gap marriage

Aaron Taylor-Johnson's biggest known role is playing Pietro Maximoff, aka Quicksilver, from the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Others may know him from the sweet British teen film "Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging" or the vigilante film "Kick-Ass." But outside of his filmography, what has shadowed the 33-year-old actor's career is the chatter and speculation about his 23-year age gap with wife and director Sam Taylor-Johnson.

The pair met in 2008 during the production of Sam's directorial debut, "Nowhere Boy," the story of John Lennon before he achieved fame with the Beatles. She was 41 at the time, while Aaron – who was portraying a teenage Lennon – turned 18 in June that year. In a joint interview with Harper's Bazar in 2019 the two claimed that there was “no funny business at all” during filming.
