Daily Mail Reports: Aaron Taylor-Johnson Unveils Wacky New Look at 28 Years Later Photo Call
Aaron Taylor-Johnson showed off his wacky new look as he posed up a storm with Jodie Comer at a photo call for 28 Years Later. The Daily Mail has all the latest updates on the upcoming film.
According to the Daily Mail, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, 35, who plays scavenger Jamie in the latest film in the franchise, was joined by the cast in London on Monday. He displayed his rugged new look as he arrived sporting long curly auburn locks with a full beard and moustache.
As reported by the Daily Mail, Aaron looked stylish in a pair of grey high-waisted paperbag trousers with a black t-shirt and a leather jacket, as well as huge aviator sunglasses. He was joined by Killing Eve star Jodie, 32, who oozed sophistication in a black flared wide-leg jumpsuit.
The Daily Mail states that Jodie paired the statement jumpsuit with black oval sunglasses and open-toed sandals, with her blonde locks styled straight. Also in attendance for the photo was director Danny Boyle, who kept it casual in black trousers and a t-shirt, with a blue blazer and white trainers.
Ralph Fiennes made an appearance and looked trim in a navy pinstripe suit with a grey button-up shirt and leather shoes. The much-anticipated release of 28 Years Later is just weeks away, with fans left waiting two decades to discover the next instalment in the film series.
The Daily Mail reports that with the nation devastated by the Rage virus nearly three decades ago, this new film – released June 19 – will show insight into the vastly different ways humanity has adapted to survive. For one such community, this means complete isolation from the outside world, and in a new clip ahead of the film’s premiere, star Aaron shares insight into this new addition to the 28 Days Later universe for the first time.
In this new land, known as The Holy Island, humans are entirely self-sufficient, and only leave the community to hunt on the mainland, when the tide is low. Aaron plays Jamie a scavenger who is tasked with training his Spike to survive in the wilderness, before they embark on a deadly mission to the mainland.
The Daily Mail also reports that just a matter of weeks ago the Hollywood star signed a deal making him a global ambassador for luxury watch brand Omega – which fans were sure was a major hint he could be the next actor to don the iconic tux of 007.
Omega have been the watch providers of the franchise for more than 30 years, with Pierce Brosnan the first Bond actor to wear an Omega watch during GoldenEye. After signing the deal, Aaron said: ‘I have always had an appreciation for timepieces but especially for Omega.
‘Now, after visiting the factory, I am in awe of the skill required to manufacture such a luxurious product.’ Omega’s CEO described Aaron as a ‘versatile actor with a range that covers action, thriller, romance and much more’.
The Daily Mail notes that it’s precisely those qualities – and his striking good looks – that have led to the actor’s strong links to Bond. Aaron has been considered a frontrunner to become the next 007 since Daniel Craig relinquished the role with the 2021 film No Time To Die.
In fact the actor was actually believed to have been former Bond producer Barbara Broccoli’s ideal candidate before the franchise was purchased by Amazon. Aaron has repeatedly played it cool when asked about the possibility of him succeeding Craig however.
‘It’s not really for me to say anything,’ he told Esquire when quizzed about speculation. But he’s even been tipped for the role by former Bond star Pierce Brosnan.
After being asked about the possibility of Aaron playing the part during an appearance on The Jonathan Ross show a few weeks ago, the 72-year-old said: ‘I think he would make a very fine Bond.
‘He was actually in one of the movies I made called The Greatest. This young man we cast as The Greatest.
‘He was so impressive then. He just had this charisma, he had this presence… he would be so good. But there’s many men on the list, I’m sure.’
In the latest bookies’ odds for the role however, Aaron has been pipped at the top by two British stars. The current favourite to become the next Bond is none other than The Divergent series star Theo James, 40, who is currently 6/4. Second favourite to become the latest actor ‘with a license to kill’, according to Ladbrokes, is Superman star Henry Cavill (3/1), ahead of Aaron in third (7/2).
