Sam Taylor-Johnson has revealed why she’s not interested in having conversations about age gaps in relationships. The 57-year-old director spoke candidly about her marriage to her husband Aaron Taylor-Johnson , who is 23 years younger than her, during an interview with Time , published on 17 May. When asked if she was interested in watching any new films about older women dating younger men, Sam said she was not, before noting that she and her husband don’t talk much about their age difference.
“Not at all. I think Aaron would say the same,” she said while discussing films surrounding age gaps in relationships. “Neither of us look at each other in that way.
It’s just a connection of souls and hearts and our life is our life where we’re just moving through it in a gorgeous loving way.” The Fifty Shades of Grey director continued to share her candid thoughts about discussions and movies about age-gap relationships. “When people make films, or talk about it or question it or dissect it, it is so strange to me.
When people fall in love, they fall in love,” she added. Aaron and Sam tied the knot in 2012, three years after they started dating. Before their wedding, they welcomed two daughters: Wylda, 14, and Romy, 12.
Sam and her ex-husband, Jay Jopling, also share two daughters: Angelica, 26, and Jessie, 19. This isn’t Sam’s first time addressing the age gap in her marriage. During an appearance on BBC Radio 4’s This Cultural Life last month, she confesse.
