Aaron Taylor-Johnson Rocks Rugged Look at Film Premiere: Is He the Next James Bond?
SCANDALOUS SIGHTINGS: Aaron Taylor-Johnson Rocks Rugged New Look on Red Carpet with Wife Sam
TheScholarlyNote.com has got the juiciest scoop yet! Hollywood heartthrob Aaron Taylor-Johnson, 35, stepped out looking like a total rockstar at the premiere of 28 Years Later alongside his stunning wife Sam, 58. And let's just say, this rugged new look is giving us major flashbacks to his Kick-Ass days!
Aaron, who plays scavenger Jamie in the highly-anticipated film, stunned onlookers with his long curly auburn locks and full beard - talk about making a statement! Meanwhile, Sam looked absolutely ravishing in a plunging halterneck dress that showcased her enviable figure. The power couple walked hand-in-hand on the red carpet at London's Odeon Luxe Leicester Square, exuding pure marital bliss.
But what really has us buzzing is Aaron's latest movie, 28 Years Later, which promises to give fans a glimpse into the vastly different ways humanity has adapted to survive in this post-apocalyptic world. The film, released on June 19, follows Jamie and his wife as they navigate the treacherous landscape of The Holy Island, where humans are entirely self-sufficient and only venture out to hunt when the tide is low.
Aaron shared a sneak peek into this new addition to the 28 Days Later universe, revealing that he plays a scavenger who trains his Spike to survive in the wilderness before embarking on a deadly mission to the mainland. And if that's not enough, Jodie Comer joins the cast as Jamie's wife, who is struggling with memory loss - talk about drama!
But Aaron isn't just a talented actor; he's also got a stylish side! Just weeks ago, he signed a deal making him a global ambassador for luxury watch brand Omega - and fans are convinced this means he'll be donning the iconic tuxedo of 007 next.
Omega has been the official timekeeper of the franchise for over three decades, with Pierce Brosnan being the first Bond actor to wear an Omega watch during GoldenEye. Aaron gushed about his new role, saying: "I have always had an appreciation for timepieces but especially for Omega. Now, after visiting the factory, I am in awe of the skill required to manufacture such a luxurious product."
And with good reason! Omega's CEO praised Aaron as a "versatile actor with a range that covers action, thriller, romance and much more" - qualities that have led many to speculate about his potential as the next Bond.
In fact, Aaron has been considered a top contender for the role since Daniel Craig relinquished the part in 2021. Even former Bond star Pierce Brosnan thinks he'd make an excellent Bond! When asked about the possibility of him succeeding Craig, Aaron played it cool, saying: "It's not really for me to say anything." But his rugged new look has certainly got us convinced - and we're not alone!
Bookies' odds have Theo James, 40, as the current favourite to become the next Bond at 6/4, followed closely by Henry Cavill (3/1) in second place. Aaron trails behind at 7/2 - but we think he's got this!
