Aaron Taylor-Johnson made a noticeable impression on fans during his appearance at the Saint Laurent show at Paris Fashion Week this Tuesday. The 35-year-old British actor, accompanied by his wife Sam, aged 58, showcased their fashionable looks as they entered the event. However, it was Aaron’s striking facial expressions, particularly his pout and intense “Blue Steel” gaze, that captured the attention of many onlookers and stirred a series of reactions online.
A clip shared by GQ Italia on TikTok sparked a wave of comments, where fans humorously critiqued Aaron’s pose, likening it to Ben Stiller’s renowned character Derek Zoolander from the classic 2001 film. Comments such as “Why is he doing Blue Steel?” and “He’s giving Zoolander,” reflected a light-hearted mocking of his look. Many viewers jokingly expressed their discomfort, stating their “crush is over” due to the seemingly exaggerated expressions.
While Aaron remains a fan-favorite for the iconic role of James Bond, recent betting odds have shifted in favor of Callum Turner, who is now the clear frontrunner at 4-7 odds—a move that has left Aaron trailing with 3-1 odds. Other actors such as Henry Cavill and Tom Holland are also in the mix as potential candidates for the coveted role.
In addition to his modeling and acting ventures, Aaron will soon share the screen with pop sensation Adele, who is making her official acting debut in a new film directed by Tom Ford. This upcoming project marks Ford’s return to filmmaking after almost a decade. The adaptation of Anne Rice’s novel “Cry To Heaven,” focusing on the unique stories of castrated opera singers in 18th-century Italy, will also feature Aaron alongside actors Nicholas Hoult and Owen Cooper, who gained acclaim for his role in the Netflix series “Adolescence.”
As pre-production begins, excitement builds for this intriguing film that promises to bring together a star-studded cast. With both Aaron’s involvement in the project and Adele’s transition into acting, fans have plenty to look forward to in the entertainment world.
