Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Sam Savor the Moment at Glitzy Premiere Afterparty!

Aaron Taylor-Johnson held hands with his stylish wife Sam as they left the 28 years later afterparty together on Wednesday night following the glitzy premiere

SCANDALOUS! Aaron Taylor-Johnson and His Stunning Wife Sam Sparkle at 28 Years Later Afterparty - But Is He Eyeing Up a Role as the Next James Bond?

In a dazzling display of glamour, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, the dashing star of the latest 28 Days Later film, was spotted holding hands with his stunning wife Sam as they left the movie's afterparty together on Wednesday night. The power couple looked lovelier than ever, with Aaron sporting long curly auburn locks and a full beard, and Sam rocking a chic plunging halterneck dress and matching black leather jacket.

But amidst all the glamour and glitz, whispers began to circulate about Aaron's potential to play the iconic role of James Bond. And we're not just talking about his dashing good looks - although, let's be real, he's got those in spades! No, no, we're talking about his action-packed credentials, which have earned him a reputation as a versatile actor capable of tackling everything from thrilling blockbusters to romantic dramas.

The actor, 35, and the director, 58, looked as loved-up as ever as they departed hand in hand

Aaron's latest role in 28 Years Later sees him playing scavenger Jamie, who embarks on a deadly mission to the mainland with his trusty Spike by his side. But it's not just his acting chops that have fans talking - it's also his recent deal with luxury watch brand Omega, which has left many wondering if he might be the next man to don the iconic tuxedo and take on the role of Bond.

After all, Aaron has already been tipped for the part by none other than former Bond star Pierce Brosnan himself. And let's not forget that he was actually considered Barbara Broccoli's top choice to succeed Daniel Craig as Bond before Amazon purchased the franchise.

But what about his wife Sam? Is she supporting her hubby's potential bid for Bond-dom, or is she secretly hoping he'll get the part and become the ultimate spy-slash-male-model hybrid? We can only speculate (and drool) over the thought of Aaron Taylor-Johnson in a tailored tuxedo, complete with Omega watch on his wrist.

In related news, bookies have released their odds for who might be the next Bond, and Aaron's currently in third place at 7/2 behind Theo James (6/4) and Henry Cavill (3/1). But don't count him out just yet - after all, he's got that certain je ne sais quoi that makes us think he could pull off the role with ease.

And as for Sam? She seems to be enjoying her husband's newfound attention, judging by the smile on her face as they left the afterparty together. Who knows, maybe she'll even get a cameo in the next Bond film - after all, we've seen some pretty incredible wife-and-husband teams take on the spy game before (hello, Pierce Brosnan and Famke Janssen!).
