Aaron Taylor-Johnson makes a statement in black tuxedo at Battleground premiere in Venice

Aaron Taylor-Johnson turned heads at the Venice International Film Festival on Saturday, where he attended the premiere of Battleground. The actor, known for his dynamic roles, arrived in a sleek black tuxedo, complete with a sharp blazer, matching trousers, a classic bow tie, and a crisp white shirt. His polished appearance added a touch of sophistication to the event, marking another highlight in what has been an eventful year for the star.

Taylor-Johnson has several high-profile projects on the horizon, including his role in the upcoming horror film Nosferatu, which is set for release on Christmas Day. Additionally, he will appear in the superhero film Kraven The Hunter and the zombie thriller 28 Years Later, where he will star alongside Cillian Murphy.

Amidst the public spotlight, Taylor-Johnson’s wife, Sam Taylor-Johnson, shared a heartfelt tribute on Instagram to celebrate his 34th birthday. The 57-year-old director posted a series of candid photos, including one of Aaron leaping against a graffiti-covered backdrop, another of him shirtless while diving into the sea, and a third showing him napping on a New York subway. In her affectionate caption, she referred to him as her "love" and included a black heart emoji.

Despite occasional public scrutiny over their 23-year age gap, the couple’s relationship remains strong. They met on the set of Nowhere Boy in 2009 and have since built a life together, sharing two daughters, Wylda Rae, 13, and Romy Hero, 11. Sam also has two older daughters from a previous marriage, Angelica, 26, and Jessie, 16.
