Aaron Johnson, Sam Taylor Wood: 24-Yr Age Difference



Aaron Johnson [R] and his fiancee, Sam Taylor Wood [L]

Kickass star Aaron Johnson may only be 19-years-old, but he is engaged to 43-year-old Sam Taylor Wood, and the couple are expecting a baby together.

Wood is already the mother of two children, ages 3 and 13, from a previous 11-year long marriage to Jay Jopling, an art dealer.

Johnson and Wood met on the set of Nowhere Boy. Wood was directing and Johnson was starring as a young John Lennon. They hit it off immediately and moved in together soon after.

Johnson says he is unconcerned with people’s opinion of his romancing such an older woman. “I’m an old soul and she’s a young soul,” he says confidently. But he is so young! What does he know?!

Ok. I know what many of you are going to say….if it was an older man and a younger woman it wouldn’t be so “weird”. And you’re right. That’s what I am thinking anyhow. I guess, what is bizarre to me, is , being a 38-year-old woman, I cannot imagine what on earth a 40+ year old woman would want to do with a 19-year-old boy….um, besides THAT. He is a sexy little devil though, no? But is still a boy…!

Dare I say this is not going to last? I give it a year. Tops. The kid hasn’t even experienced life yet. This one is doomed for failure!

    I don’t believe so as a matter of fact. I met my husband when I was 17 he is 20 years older than me. He is now 41 and I am 21! :) we got engaged when I turned 18 and we married just a couple years ago. A lot of people comment on our relationship but it has never influenced the way I feel about our relationship. A lot of people also believed I was too yound to know what I wanted but I still know he is the only man I ever want to be with. If our relationship wasn’t strong outsiders’ opinions would have already played a role in our separation. I’ve never been so sure in my life that he is my life!

  • Duhs.. It’s Nai

    O_O >>>> T_T >>>>> O.o >>>>> translation? OMG! WHY?? *SOBS* WHY? wait a minute… wthhhh they have a child togetherrrr???

    Older women and younger guys is always wrong, bcus older women act like older women no matter what person they want to be. like my mother for instance, she wants to act young again, but her standards in life are far too wise for her to take on such a thing, so its a fail.

    its diff when guys date younger girls bcus guys, well, are wayyyy immature, no matter what age they are. my dad is 69-yrs old and still plays black jack and stuff every wed. night. women, we dont do that… its not gonna last (i hope it doesnt last XD) but good luck too them

    It’s creepy and no matter what the gender it smacks of something pedophilia like. Sorry but there is nothing normal about mating with someone who is old enough to be a parent. Male or female it’s not normal. I think you are right, he’ll either mature enough to want a woman his own age and no longer want a mommy, or he will grow older and she’ll want another 18 year old.

    I am 44 yrs and my fiance’ is 28yrs and I can say that he is the most mature and stable man I have ever met. He makes his own choices and has no desire to “party on”. I am what he wants forever and we are to be married in June of this year. He can have a younger girl if that is what he wanted but he wanted me..all of me..the good bad and the ugly. We are more connected than we would ever be with any other. We don’t feel any age difference. He is the oldest of his siblings and I am the youngest of my siblings..I am sure there are many dynamics at work here but all in all…neither of us has ever been or ever will be more satisfied with any other partner…this is OUR choice….for us..it just works…period.

    All I can say is im shocked.
    Not only at the fact that that is beyond words, but the fact that women can actually think they can get away with dating a man any more then 10+ younger then herself.

    Do you honestly think in twenty years time when your husband is in his prime he’s going to look at you the same way?
    Like they say, as much as you may love each other, time eventually gives way and eventually all you women are going to loose.

    Sooner or later everything will fall apart, maybe mutually or maybe on bad terms, but i just cannot picture at all a 40 year old man with a 60 year old woman.

    One of the people above did make a point that if it was a woman with a 40 something man then it wouldnt matter, and even though that is true, thats because it is actually SUITABLE.

    Everybody in there right mind knows it takes alot longer for a man too mature then a woman mentally. So either way as much as you may be thinking that your young husband is mature or that hes in it for the long run, really he only is in for a good few years of your life, thats if you even make it to 60.

    Im surprised nobodys even bothered to mention the fact that alot of normal (not that anybody in my personal opinion is normal if your willing to get in a relationship like this) young men only like to be with an older woman for a amount of time because 1. They like to get treated like a baby and have you wait after them, clean the house, exectra. Or two for the financial side of it.

    This whole thing really is beyond words but i think that any women who are willing to date a man of such a young age who are reading this need to wake up and think about the future. It may be all roses and daisy’s now but sooner or later, your going to die or hes going to leave you.
