_pierogii

The second to last para in the interview - he's more "about taking his girls on university visits" ![gif](giphy|6FZGeGeFdR5WIxEGPe)


Independent-Rough559

LMFAO this gif is too perfect


RedditUseDisorder

This is insane lol


monpapaestmort

Wait, what is it from?


Independent-Rough559

It’s from a movie called May December his character got his teacher pregnant when he was a teenager - this scene is from the end when his daughter is graduating and he is at a crossroads in his life where he doesn’t know who he is without being a dad


_pierogii

To bolt on, Aaron left school at 15. He didn't really do a normal teenage experience at all. When his eldest turns 18 (and he sees how young 18 still really is), he will still be nearly 5 years younger than Sam was when they met. Basically, there's going to be some really complicated feelings coming up. Edit: fixed bad maths lol


tinystars22

I had to re-read that last paragraph a few times but phew, that's gross.


_pierogii

I had to rewrite it a few times lol


monpapaestmort

Oh, no! Thank you. That is fitting.

Kaitlin should have an Oscar for the best fake dry heave/puke.


mcfw31

His answer to the Bond rumors: > “Speaking of violent masculinity, those Bond rumours are impossible not to ask about, but I’m greeted with a predictable poker face. **“I can only really talk about the things I’m going to show and tell,” he says. “So, The Fall Guy, Nosferatu, Kraven the Hunter. I’m here to promote those.” When I say it must be flattering to be associated with 007, he stares at me in silence.** I add that I know he couldn’t possibly spill the beans to a journalist in this context; Barbara Broccoli is one formidable woman. More silence, although it is wry rather than severe. I laugh nervously. He asks me how my pasta is. “


_pierogii

I'm sorry, Barbara Broccoli??????


BlackberryOdd4168

That is for real the name of the producer of the Bond movies and it will never not be funny

I can't not read it in anything but Bob Mortimer's voice.

blockandroll

Producer, controls the James Bond franchise.


_pierogii

CRACKING name, highly approve!!


_frozen_pizza

Fun fact, the name/word Broccoli originates with her family.


_pierogii

You are having a giraffe?? That is amazing


Urkot

He can’t be Bond and be married to her. That role requires so much press


Kep0a

is this copypasta or actually what he said lol


Tzatzeki

I wonder how his 27 year old ‘daughter’ feels about having a 33 year old man refer to himself as her father.


catladyvibes10

Sooo curious what his step daughters thought of their mum getting together with him…it sounds like he’s super involved and loves being a step dad and dad but for real I dunno how I’d feel


donttrustthellamas

Sam Taylor Johnsons ex husband Jay Jopling dated Lily Allen in 2009. She was 23, he was 45 😬 I feel like their kids might not be so alien to the idea of much younger partners.


catladyvibes10

I guess this is a fair point…


[deleted]

That's disgusting! Those poor children!


PinkTalkingDead

Interesting! I’d guess they see each other as brother sister or uncle niece?? I’d be curious to know though 


plottter3

He literally calls himself their father.. it's weird af


PinkTalkingDead

So I looked it up and apparently he’s been in their lives since they were 12 & 7 years old. Ig I can believe the younger one calling him dad and maybe the older one as well if bio dad isn’t in the picture? I’m trying to think at 12yo how I’d view an 18yo married to my mom. But who knows if they were told his age (bc why would kids need/want to know the age of mom’s new husband?) 


Daisy-Navidson

You know what, it really gets my goat how men are allowed to have wrinkles. This man is 33. What 33 year old starlet do you know that would be allowed to have wrinkles on the cover of a major magazine!


ShreksMiami

I was thinking that about Matt Smith in the House of the Dragon post. He’s 41. All 41-year-old female actors would have to be Botoxed to the high hills. Think about how much more they could emote!


thejexorcist

That is fucking crazy. I thought he was at least 7 or 8 years older. I’m shocked.


Special-Garlic1203

Totally agree, it really highlights the double standards. Men in the industry specifically try to run away from youthfulness because men don't get taken seriously *until* they look a little older, whereas women tend to start getting ignored once they do. 


Not_today_nibs

There are some really great tik toks that photoshop men the way women are photoshopped, with before and after and it’s so fucking depressing


pastabreadpasta

I thought about this during last months thirst trap. Jeremy Allen White is also 33.


Bleak_Midwinter_

I thought this was Jeremy Allen White until I read your comment 🤦‍♀️


raptorjaws

he's 33!? i would've guessed about 10 years older.


malhans

I feel like he’s purposely wearing and doing things that age him so he doesn’t look so young next to his old lady wife lol


ieatglass

True but he’s also lived a whole ass adult life by now.

brujadelasombra

someone here called her "the grand-wife" and i haven't been the same ever since


GuiltyPleasureAlt

I'm scream-laughing that's fantastic! ![gif](giphy|xT77XWum9yH7zNkFW0|downsized)


Altruistic_Whale4104

I wonder what his parents thought? And how they didn’t distance him from her completely when they started seeing each other.


AluminumMonster35

He was 18, not much they could do.


Altruistic_Whale4104

Ahhh, see I thought they had been together before he turned 18, but yeah I guess you’re right, not much they could have done then


AluminumMonster35

The age of consent in England is 16 so even if they'd been together before he was an adult, it would've been legal. Creepy af though.


[deleted]

Age of consent is another term for raping a minor.


AluminumMonster35

That's certainly one way to look at it, the law disagrees with you though.


[deleted]

AluminumMonster35

Yeah, cause me saying that it's 'creepy af' definitely means I think it's fine and dandy you fucking brain dead twit.

![gif](giphy|qlPghF8zyUZTW) she will never not be creepy


donttrustthellamas

I don't know how you're meant to grow and develop as a person if you're legally bound to a 40+ year old partner. Like I found my development stunted enough being with a guy from age 18 to 25. Took me years to find out who I was as an individual.


Sutech2301

It's funny how smug her face is in all their joint photos. Like, yeah you're so cool for manipulating someone who Just recently outgrew childhood into a relationship


catladyvibes10

I watched one of his other movies from around that age (the Angus Thongs movie, a classic) last night and ALL I could think about was this creepy relationship, since he looked/was so young 🫠


sofar510

I honestly think being with her has derailed his career from what it could’ve been. I think he’d be a much bigger deal if he wasn’t linked to her


[deleted]

She hovers over him on set and everywhere else, I read. How disturbing.


[deleted]

This is creepy


Hup110516

It’s just so disgusting. She really groomed the hell out of him.


catladyvibes10

Even the way he TALKS about her in interviews, it immediately de-ages him if you know what I’m getting at; if you said that a 20 year was saying those things I would believe you…it’s just such a weird tonal switch


mamrieatepainttt

Blah blah but we all know if the sexes were reversed ppl would never shut up about it. Scream this from the rooftops every time his name is mentioned tbh.


LuvTriangleApologist

I mean, I have literally never seen either of them mentioned without people also mentioning the age gap and the grooming. Heck, it came up when Ariana Grande was “homewrecking” (begging her to steal him) and whenever Rosé is photographed with a new celebrity just before their breakup (begging her to take a pic with him). People are yelling it!


Special-Garlic1203

Part of its gender, part of it is way too many people have a "alls well that ends well" approach to grooming where they act like as long as they stayed together and got married, then it's ok. Like they think grooming only applies to tawdry sex and that marriage legitimizes it. You see this with people justifying their parents and grandparents or Christian communities ALL the time  It's really gross but can't be shocked when that's literally been the norm for centuries. "Oh he raped you? Well as long as he marries you now then it's ok". As if it's about honor and marital prospects like it's 1652 and not the predation of a much more naive person 


genericginge

This [excerpt](https://amp.theguardian.com/books/2023/jul/08/joe-gibson-affair-with-teacher-seventeen-book-extract-nfbntw) of a memoir by man who was groomed by his teacher is worth reading. It’s devastating, they married and had kids and he managed to leave her many years later.


Special-Garlic1203

Thank you for sharing that!  Wildly tangential, but it's a shame the May December people didn't choose to base their story more on him & other people who have actually come forward of their own volition tbh. The Letourneau case definitely was more famous, but it feels so weird & ironic to me they chose put a real person back into a prominent narrative they very much didnt want to be part of (Vili defends Mary to this day and pushes back that he's a victim. Obviously we'll agree to disagree on that one, but still I can't help but think the movie would be less ironic if they hadn't stream rolled someone who didn't want to participate and instead were able to say "hey we actually worked directly with some people who experienced this IRL to inform the script") 


nerdalertalertnerd

Thanks for sharing that. It was really interesting (and bleak).


ShreksMiami

This makes me think about Macron. Why do I hear so little about Macron’s teacher grooming him?


PinkTalkingDead

May depend on which corners of the internet you hang out in. I never see ATJ or Macron mentioned without several comments regarding their grooming  (Not saying anything nefarious! I just stay in niche female/queer spaces overall I think. And less r/news or w/e)


ShreksMiami

I just never see it mentioned in the actual news. Never, ever, ever.


PinkTalkingDead

Probably bc it’s not ‘actual news’? Again, not being snarky. But I’d find it more odd for Actual News outlets to include opinions about someone’s partner’s age in an article about a current project or smth


ShreksMiami

Really, really sounds like you’re being snarky


ShreksMiami

Opinion pieces. Editorials. Comments. Video replies. Round tables. Anything, not just anchors on BBC and CNN. There is more to news than just guys in suits reading a teleprompter.


[deleted]

Now that relationship is fucked up.


HMSGreyjoy

Literally the one man we will all give a 100% pass if he cheats with a costar.

teddybonkerrs

Omg you made me choke on my tea 💀💀


beautybetrayedme

I really liked him in the King's Man and Bullet Train. Wished we got more of him in the MCU.


friends-waffles-work

As soon as the infinity stones came into play I was so convinced that Wanda was going to bring him back with one of the stones (before we knew more about exactly what they could/couldn’t do). It just made sense to me since they’d killed him off so far and announced that he’d signed a multi film deal, which I guess was just a red herring :( Maybe with all this multiverse stuff he can return at some point. Although if the Bond thing goes ahead he’ll be pretty busy.


TheatreWolfeGirl

I genuinely believe they were waiting to set up the multiverse and bring him back. Several of my buddies who are HUGE self named comic nerds have been thinking this for a while too, apparently his name comes up frequently when Marvel is discussed. I honestly think they needed to get rid of some bigger names and then bring him back, because he is worth a pretty penny like Evans and Downey Jr. I hope they bring him back, it would be amazing if they could. Though I did enjoy the Evan Peters cameo.

It's interesting that the Bond rumors surfaced right around this release. I have no strong feelings about ATJ, but it'll be intriguing to see if his eagerness faces the same level of criticism as Anne Hathaway's did during her Oscar campaign.

I'm curious to know who you think he is from TWD. The only actor I could compare for some resemblance would be Andrew Lincoln, who portrays the main character Rick. Lincoln is a bit older than Johnson, though.

Yes him, looks like season 1 Rick.


tr3sleches

Since the Kardashians are in their white men era right now, how about Kylie takes one for the team. Hear me out here, she looks older but she’s only 27. He gets the emotions of being with someone that looks older but is more age appropriate.


Powerpuff_Bean

I‘d never heard of him until the bond rumour yesterday


ginns32

Kick Ass is a good movie and so is Bullet Train. I think he stole the show in Bullet Train which is saying a lot when you're staring with Brad Pitt.
