..to find Aaron Taylor Johnson and his wife super creepy?

[insidenumber9]

Just this really. He was a 16 year old child actor when they met, and she was his director and in her 40s. It’s so sad. Maybe I’m projecting as had a bad relationship with an older man as a teen, but I feel she stole his childhood.

The Guardian lick her arse as well for some unfathomable reason. Maybe she’s a big donator?

I don't think you know what CF means
yes it's selfish to shackle a teenager to you by having a baby immediately after grooming them into a relationship
we are people who are observing the selfish behaviour, that's who we are

Because we should 'complain' about grooming young people whatever the young person feels about it?

'No, just saying I doubt he’s complaining about the situation so why should anyone else?'

That's one of the stupidest things I've seen written on here.

The whole point of grooming is that the child/young person feels at ease and made to feel that the groomer's desire to bed them is perfectly ok and natural and that they have their best interests at heart.

That’s what I thought. It’s like she used him to be a mum again and make herself feel young..almost like a vampire as a previous poster said.

Yes probably bonded by trauma!

She was interviewed on R4’s This Cultural Life a few weeks ago. The relationship was mentioned as ‘being of press interest’ (no shit) but she pretty quickly moved the conversation on.

Not sure if this has already been mentioned -

Aaron Taylor-Johnson on reaction to the age gap between him & his wife: “What you gotta realise is that what most people were doing in their twenties, I was doing when I was 13. You’re doing something too quickly for someone else? I don’t understand that. What speed are you supposed to enjoy life at? It’s bizarre to me”

So the poor kid had been groomed since 13 and experienced things most people don't experience until adulthood, so he was precocious enough to e flattered by the image of himself as a mature adult that this middle aged woman treated him as.
Some 13 year olds do things that they are too young for. It doesn't make them older than other 13 year olds, it just makes them neglected.

It’s been discussed for years and yes very creepy and a huge power imbalance given she was not only more than 20 years older but also the person who gave him his big break. It’s worth noting he also took a career break before he was even 20 to raise the 2 kids they had to have immediately.
Ultimately though he’s now in his 30 and his star is rising. If he’s cast as bond it’s likely the relationship won’t last much longer

Yes STJ is creepy. I hate how this is spun as feminist because it’s an older woman and younger man.

I think it’s only STJ that’s pretending it’s feminist, that and The ‘up-her-arsehole’ Guardian newspaper.
Everyone I know thinks it’s rank.

This is quite an interesting article -

😲😲 grim!!

Well she’s got decades on him so that’s unsurprising…

She definitely groomed him, it's always been a grim relationship. They stated in old interviews that they actually moved in together in March 2009 when he was 18 so it's fairly obvious that he was under 18 when they got together. She said she held his audition for Lennon at her house as they were only available on a certain date. I can't fathom how someone her age would look at a teen only a bit older than her own children and think yes he's the one for me.

I guess you don’t read a lot of Mumsnet then…

But seriously, I don’t think one can reasonably compare a successful actor (presumably) happily married to a woman he (presumably) loves and who has helped him further his career to the average paedophile grooming situation.

Why? Was Harvey Weinstein's behaviour acceptable if the women got an acting career out of it? Or Jeffrey Epstein (et al) for paying their victims. Does that make it all ok then?

@PineappleTime I agree. He was groomed since the age of 13 and robbed of being a teenage boy.

That statement by him that I posted is very sad.

I don't find him creepy at all. She on the other hand does make me uncomfortable, but at this point they've been together for awhile, are raising children so in all honesty I wish them the best.

Of course a fully grown adult going for a teenager is always worrying, but it's hardly uncommon in celebrity circles.

As a side, Leo D makes me feel more uncomfortable.

Grim as fuck, just like the other way round.

There's something very very disturbing about people who find much younger people attractive. And who can't be with people their own age.

Yes it's giving Mary Kay Letourneau.

Caroline Flack with Harry Styles was WRONG too.

You’ll get a load of people jumping to her defence on here but wasn’t there a thread just the other day asking why grown men would be interested in a teenage girl? Same principle!

Will you? This s quite a long thread and only maybe 2 people defended her.

Serious ick today learning that Luc Besson met Maiwan when she was TWELVE and he was 29, and she had their first child when she was 16 and he then dumped her on the set of Fifth Element for Mila Jovovitch.
