“I’m too young for that role anyway!”: Aaron Taylor-Johnson Happily Gave Up Lead Role in a $1 Billion Erotic Film Franchise For Wife Sam Taylor-Johnson
Via Kraven the Hunter, Aaron Taylor-Johnson looks set to become the Sony Spider-Man Universe’s latest victim, with initial reviews of the movie now out. The movie marks an eventful year for the actor, who was previously seen in 2024 flicks such as Nosferatu and Fall Guy.
Regardless, while he eventually found mainstream fame, the actor once had a slight opportunity to take on the role of Christian Grey in the Fifty Shades of Grey franchise. At the time, his wife, Sam Taylor-Johnson, was the director of the first installment, and the couple decided that Aaron would not pursue the part.
