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.

@Namechange666 I just wanted to back you up on this. These kinds of couples exist, they're not common but they exist. Whilst I can't relate specifically to being an 18-year old actor falling in love with a 42-year old director, or vice versa, I can relate to once being in my teens and pursuing someone in their 30s, and then entering a committed relationship with them. Never once considered that hadn't been my own doing until I saw the prevailing internet opinion of the Taylor-Johnsons. Just listen to him talk about her. He adores her. The idea she has somehow brainwashed him sounds farfetched. I don't know how they put up with all the criticism but I admire them greatly for it.
