Sam Taylor-Johnson talks public's 'fascination' over her age gap with Aaron

Sam Taylor-Johnson recently spoke about people’s “fascination” over her age gap with husband Aaron Taylor-Johnson.

The filmmaker got married to the 33–year-old actor in 2012 and shares two daughters Wylda Rae (aged 13) and Romy Hero (aged 12) with him.

Talking about the 24-year age gap between her and Aaron, the Back to Black director talked about how she fails to “fathom” the “fascination” that people have about her marriage.

Sam believes the age gap caused a stir because “people want to understand things when they can’t” but since they have now been together for more than a decade, people have lost interest "a little bit”.

Discussing her relationship on BBC’s This Cultural Life, she said: “I guess that interest was more when we got together, which was now 14 years – at the beginning, was quite intense."

“And that sort of fascination, because he’s younger than me, which you know, we couldn’t really fathom the fascination. But I guess it’s sort of gone away a little bit,” Sam continued.

She added, “Mostly when I’m doing press and things like this it sort of resurges a little bit. But yeah, I guess people want to understand things when they can’t. They want to pick up art when they can’t fathom what a certain love story that doesn’t fit in a box is.”
