Aaron Taylor-Johnson

Aaron Taylor-Johnson, born in 1990, rose from child actor roles in "Shanghai Knights" and "The Illusionist" to critical acclaim with his portrayal of John Lennon in "Nowhere Boy," directed by future wife Sam Taylor-Wood. His breakout role as the irreverent vigilante Kick-Ass solidified his status, followed by a Golden Globe win for a psychopathic drifter in "Nocturnal Animals." Roles in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, alongside high-concept films like "Savages" and "Anna Karenina," highlight his range. Recent turns in "Tenet," "Bullet Train," and "Nosferatu" cement his versatility, navigating from blockbuster action to period drama and back again with equal aplomb.
