“Kick-Ass” Star Aaron Johnson, 19, Expecting Baby With 43-Year-Old Sam Taylor-Wood

By now we all know that we are living in the age of “The Cougar,” but we can’t help but wonder if some femme fetales aren’t taking their obsession with barely-legal penis a step too far. This is old news to celeb-watchers in the UK – but American Kick-Ass fans may not know that the movie’s 19-year-old star, Aaron Johnson, is expecting a child with his 43-year-old fiancée, director Sam Taylor-Wood.

Their May-December romance — marked by an almost quarter century age difference — has been stirring up controversy across the pond for more than a year.

“I’ve got a wonderful woman,” Aaron says. “She’s lovely and she’s a fantastic mother. I’m an old soul and she’s a young soul.”

Aaron also insists he’s gonna be a Kick-Ass dad, despite his tender years.

“It’s not scary. I’m already a stepdad to [Sam’s children Angelica, 13, and Jessie, 3] anyway. So the nerves have sort of gone.”
