Aaron Taylor-Johnson Has Nothing to Hide About His Relationship _ E! News

Transcript

00:00 Aaron Taylor-Johnson is happy to talk about his relationship, but only to a point.

00:06 While the actor rarely addresses the criticism he and wife Sam Taylor-Johnson receive over

00:12 their 23-year age gap, he is now giving insight into why he keeps his relationship out of

00:18 the spotlight.

00:20 The 33-year-old tells Esquire in an interview published on August 14th, "I've probably

00:26 talked to you more about my kids and Sam than I have with anybody.

00:31 I've got really nothing to hide, and I'm secure in what we have, but I'm not going

00:36 to unlock things that are actually precious to me."

00:40 Aaron and Sam first met on the set of the 2009 film Nowhere Boy.

00:46 Aaron, who starred in the film, was 18 at the time, while Sam, the film's director,

00:51 was 42.

00:53 The two were engaged within the year and Sam became pregnant with their first daughter,

00:58 Wilda Ray, shortly after.

01:01 Since tying the knot in 2012, the pair have often collaborated professionally.

01:06 However, Aaron shuts down the idea that their artistic endeavors and romance are intertwined.

01:13 Aaron explains to Esquire, saying, "I don't think that's accurate.

01:18 Yeah, we worked.

01:19 I met Sam as actor and director.

01:22 I think we're really great at collaborating, but that's not why I fell in love with her."

01:28 Last year, the couple celebrated the romance they've built when they renewed their vows

01:32 on their 10th wedding anniversary, in an intimate ceremony with friends and family.

01:38 Aaron captioned a June 22 Instagram post of the event, "Yesterday was the most beautiful

01:45 day.

01:46 Summer solstice.

01:47 Our 10th anniversary.

01:49 We renewed our vows to one another and confessed our love in front of our nearest and dearest

01:54 friends and family.

01:56 It was a celebration of love and joy."

01:58 "I'm so excited to be back with my family and friends.

01:59 I'm so excited to be back in the world.

02:00 I'm so excited to be back in the world."

02:01 "I'm so excited to be back in the world."

02:02 "I'm so excited to be back in the world."

02:03 "I'm so excited to be back in the world."

02:04 "I'm so excited to be back in the world."

02:05 "I'm so excited to be back in the world."
