British actor Aaron Taylor-Johnson and his wife, filmmaker Sam Taylor-Johnson, presented a picture of marital bliss as they attended the prestigious Saint Laurent show during Paris Fashion Week on Tuesday. The couple, who have been married since 2012, appeared in remarkably high spirits as they navigated the fashion-focused crowds in the French capital.
A Stylish Couple Turn Heads
The 35-year-old actor, known for roles in Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging and the Kick-Ass franchise, cut a dapper figure. He opted for a sophisticated ensemble featuring a brown longline jacket, which he layered over a crisp white shirt and classic black trousers. Aaron completed his look with a burgundy tie and a pair of polished black shoes, embodying a timeless, sharp aesthetic.
Meanwhile, Sam, 58, stunned onlookers in an elegant dark green dress that beautifully accentuated her waist. She paired the dress with sleek black heels and accessorised with fashionable black sunglasses, creating a poised and glamorous appearance perfectly suited for the high-profile event.
Shifting Tides in the James Bond Race
The fashionable outing occurs against a backdrop of intense speculation regarding the future of the James Bond franchise. For some time, Aaron Taylor-Johnson has been considered a frontrunner to succeed Daniel Craig as the iconic secret agent. However, the betting landscape has recently shifted.
According to the latest odds from Coral Bookmakers, Callum Turner has now emerged as the new favourite, with odds of 4-7. Aaron remains a strong contender with odds of 3-1, placing him ahead of other rumoured candidates like Henry Cavill and Tom Holland. The role has been vacant since Daniel Craig's departure following the release of No Time To Die in 2021, sparking ongoing debate and numerous names being touted by industry insiders.
A Star-Studded Cinematic Project Ahead
Beyond the Bond rumours, Aaron Taylor-Johnson is set to appear in a highly anticipated new Hollywood film that marks a significant career milestone for another British superstar. He will star alongside global music icon Adele, who is making her official acting debut in the project.
The film, directed by renowned fashion designer Tom Ford, is an adaptation of Anne Rice's 1982 novel, Cry To Heaven. The story delves into the dramatic world of castrated opera singers, known as castrati, and the feuding aristocrats of 18th-century Italy.
This project represents a major return for Tom Ford, marking his first directorial effort in nearly a decade. His own production company, Fade To Black, is financing the film, for which he has also penned the scripts. Pre-production is reportedly underway, with plans to commence filming in Rome, Italy.
The cast is shaping up to be exceptionally talented. Alongside Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Adele, the film will feature Nicholas Hoult and Owen Cooper, the latter having recently won an Emmy for Outstanding Supporting Actor. Other notable actors linked to the production include Colin Firth, Ciarán Hinds, Mark Strong, and George MacKay, promising a powerful ensemble performance.
