According to Aaron Taylor-Johnson, he might as well be as old as his wife. Considering that he grew up in the public eye, he considers himself mature for his age, and that his experiences are incredibly drastic compared to his peers. He pretty much lived life on the fast lane. “What you gotta realize is that what most people were doing in their twenties, I was doing when I was 13,” he told Rolling Stone UK.
In the same interview, he also said that he doesn’t quite understand why spectators appear to have a hard time accepting that he fast-tracked through life milestones, at least in the marriage and parenthood department. He’s just living at his own pace, after all. “You’re doing something too quickly for someone else? I don’t understand that. What speed are you supposed to enjoy life at? It’s bizarre to me,” the “Kick-Ass” star added.
To be fair, Aaron has always had this stance, telling the Irish Independent in 2009 that he’s mature beyond his years, the total opposite of his wife. “I’m an old soul, and she’s a young soul. We don’t see an age gap, we just see each other,” he explained at the time, adding that he’s learned to live his life without minding what others would think or say. “Its almost like other people live by a rule book and I don’t,” he said.
