Aaron Taylor-Johnson took to the red carpet at London’s London’s Odeon Luxe Leicester Square this evening for the world premiere of 28 Years Later alongside his director wife Sam Taylor-Johnson.

The 35-year-old Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging star – who is hotly tipped to be the next James Bond – opted for a low-neck shirt and pin-striped waistcoat for the occasion, while Back to Black director Sam, 58, looked glorious in a simple white dress and oversized sunglasses.

Danny Boyle’s much-anticipated movie, which is a sequel to the classic 2002 film 28 Days Later, stars Aaron alongside Jodie Comer and Ralph Fiennes, who all play survivors of the rage virus.

The film, largely shot in Northumberland, is set 30 years after the original and shows how humanity has adapted to survive.

Posing for photos together on the red carpet, leading man Aaron and Sam looked as loved up as ever 15 years into their relationship.

The pair met on the set of Nowhere Boy when Aaron was 18 and Sam was 42, and at the October 2009 premiere, the unlikely couple announced their engagement.

The Fifty Shades of Grey director had previously been married to art dealer Jay Jopling for 11 years, sharing two daughters; born in April 1997 and 2005, but they split in 2008.

Over the years, Sam and Aaron have defended their 24-year age gap.

‘He was very intense and absolutely mind made-up (about us dating)’ Sam reportedly told E News previously, while he said to The Sunday Independent: ‘I’m an old soul and she’s a young soul.’

In 2017, Sam told the Hollywood Reporter: ‘If I gave a second thought to other people, I would be the unhappiest person, probably still in a miserable marriage. People like to talk about it.

‘I’m like, “Yeah, but it works better than my last marriage”. It’s lasted longer than a lot of my friends’ marriages.’

Aaron told The Telegraph in 2019 he ‘knew instantly’ she was his ‘soulmate’.
