Sam Taylor-Johnson responds to rumors that her husband Aaron Taylor-Johnson is the new James Bond

Sam Taylor-Johnson would like to see Aaron Taylor-Johnson as the next James Bond
The 57-year-old director has been married to 33-year-old “Avengers” star Aaron since 2012. While she did not confirm or deny rumors that her husband will be the next Hollywood star to lead the “007” franchise, she did admit that it would be “fantastic” to see him in the role of the titular spy.
She told ‘Entertainment Tonight’: “I mean, it would be great, let’s see. Of course!”
The filmmaker has made a career directing biopics such as Nowhere Boy and the recent Back to Black – based on the life of tragically deceased music legend Amy Winehouse – but admitted she now needs to “create a bit of fantasy” and when asked if she would like to direct the next Bond film, she admitted she would “have so much fun” doing it.
She said: “Of course, I think so, yes, that would be so much fun! I feel like I’m done with real-life stories. I need a bit of freedom to create a bit of fantasy, I think. It was incredible to live in (Amy’s) world, her shoes, her aura, her music. I need a bit of distance now. Although, I did say that about John Lennon after ‘Nowhere Boy’. I think I’m drawn to that kind of material.”
The Fifty Shades of Grey director revealed that her husband has supported her throughout the process of bringing Amy Winehouse’s life to the screen, admitting that he is “always excited” to join her in whatever project she is working on.
She said: “He was with me throughout the whole process, so he saw it a lot. He’s always excited!”
