Sam and Aaron Taylor-Johnson, 23 Years Apart

In case you don’t recall, 54-year-old director and photographer Sam Taylor-Johnson first hit it big with her 2009 indie smash, Nowhere Boy. Of course, while filming, Sam got to know the movie’s main star, actor Aaron Taylor-Johnson, very well. Despite an age gap of 23 years, Aaron and Sam soon fell madly in love with one another.

While many might think that an age difference of over two decades might prove too challenging – but not this couple! “People like to talk about [our relationship]. I’m like, ‘Yeah, but it works better than my last marriage.’ It’s lasted longer than a lot of my friends’ marriages.” Sam said in a recent interview.
