Aaron Taylor-Johnson in Paris for Fashion Week with Wife

British actor Aaron Taylor-Johnson and his filmmaker wife Sam made a stylish arrival at Gare du Nord in Paris on Monday, ahead of the city's prestigious Fashion Week events. The couple, who have been married since 2012, appeared in excellent spirits as they navigated the bustling train station hand in hand, engaging in cheerful conversation throughout their journey.

A Fashionable Arrival in the French Capital

The 35-year-old Bullet Train star cut a particularly trendy figure with his carefully coordinated ensemble. He opted for a grey jumper neatly tucked into beige trousers, layered beneath a long navy wool jacket that provided both style and warmth against the Parisian climate. Completing his look were comfortable tan boots and a beige baseball cap that allowed him to maintain a low profile while travelling through the French capital.

Practical accessories included a cabin suitcase and leather holdall bag that the actor pushed through the station, while a pair of sunglasses tucked into his jumper added the final touch to his fashionable travel attire. His wife Sam, who is 23 years his senior at 58 years old, complemented his style with her own sophisticated look.

Sam's Coordinated Style

The filmmaker presented a equally polished appearance in a green jumper and blue jeans, which she layered under a long brown coat. A distinctive leopard print scarf added a touch of pattern to her outfit, while white trainers ensured comfort during their travels. Her blonde tresses were styled loose and natural, and she completed the look with a pair of aviator sunglasses that perfectly suited the Parisian setting.

Other Celebrity Sightings at Gare du Nord

The Taylor-Johnsons were not the only notable figures arriving in Paris for Fashion Week. American actress Halle Berry, 59, was all smiles as she arrived at the busy train station on Monday afternoon. She wrapped up against the weather in a long grey coat layered over blue denim jeans, with a coordinated scarf adding extra warmth. The actress elevated her frame with black pointed toe boots and carried her belongings in a brown leather handbag.

Meanwhile, comedian Sacha Baron Cohen turned heads as he stepped out in the city wearing a white disposable face mask. The 54-year-old Borat star cut a smart figure in a brown jacket layered over a white shirt and black roll neck jumper, with a grey chord coat adding an extra layer. He teamed this with coordinated brown trousers, a navy flat cap, and black leather boots while carrying a navy backpack through the station.

Ongoing James Bond Speculation

The Paris appearance comes amid continuing speculation about Aaron Taylor-Johnson potentially becoming the next James Bond. Although he was recently replaced by Callum Turner as the bookmakers' clear favourite for the iconic role, the actor remains a strong contender according to industry observers.

According to new odds from Coral Bookmakers, Callum Turner currently leads with 4-7 odds, making him the favourite to follow in Daniel Craig's footsteps. Aaron Taylor-Johnson follows closely with 3-1 odds, ahead of other rumoured candidates including Henry Cavill and Tom Holland. The speculation has intensified since Craig relinquished the role in 2021 following the release of No Time To Die.

Upcoming Film Projects

Beyond the Bond rumours, Aaron Taylor-Johnson has exciting projects on the horizon. He is set to star alongside singer Adele in her first official acting debut later this year, following her landing of a role in a brand new Hollywood film. The 37-year-old Hello singer will swap the stage for the studio as she signs up to star in fashion designer Tom Ford's new flick.

This marks Adele's first ever acting role four years after releasing her album 30, and represents Tom Ford's first movie in almost a decade. According to US publication Deadline, the film will be an adaptation of Anne Rice's 1982 novel Cry To Heaven, which depicts the lives of castrated opera singers and feuding aristocrats in 18th century Italy. The project will see Adele sharing the screen with both Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Nicholas Hoult, with Tom Ford directing and his production company Fade To Black financing the project.
