Oh my, talk about a dramatic switch-up! Aaron Taylor-Johnson is going viral online after he was spotted at the red carpet premiere of his new film, “28 Years Later.” The actor looked strikingly different from his usual self, leading many to wonder if the transformation is for a future role.
The British star unveiled a bold new look that has fans and fashionistas buzzing left and right. Sporting long curly hair and a full beard, Taylor-Johnsonâs transformation definitely made us look twice. You know, just to make sure it was actually him.
From Blockbusters to Bold New Looks
For those who might need a refresher, the 34-year-old is no stranger to the spotlight. More recently, he starred in “Nosferatu” alongside Lily-Rose Depp, which received positive reviews from critics and fans due to its somber storyline and visuals.
Now, the actor is front and center promoting another thriller, “28 Years Later.” The highly anticipated film is the sequel to the iconic horror-thriller “28 Days Later.”
In the new film, Taylor-Johnson plays a virus survivor living on a secluded island that is connected to the mainland, away from danger. According to the official synopsis, â[A group of survivors] lives on a small island connected to the mainland by a single, heavily defended causeway. When one of the group leaves the island on a mission into the dark heart of the mainland, he discovers secrets, wonders, and horrors that have mutated not only the infected but other survivors as well.â
The film also stars powerhouse names like Ralph Fiennes, Danny Boyle, Alfie Williams, and Jodie Comer. The British actress has firmly established herself in the world of film and theater. She gained widespread acclaim for her role in the hit series âKilling Eve,â earning both a Primetime Emmy Award and a BAFTA Award. Comer also made her West End theater debut in 2022 in âPrima Facie,â which later transferred to Broadway. For her performance, she won a Tony Award in 2023.

At the premiere, Taylor-Johnson stunned fans with his new shaggy hairstyle and thick beard.

The new look went on to further enhance rumors swirling around about the actor’s future projects. This includes whispers that he could take on the legendary role of James Bond. Pierce Brosnan, who once played 007 himself, recently praised Taylor-Johnsonâs talent and energy.
He told Yahoo Entertainment, âI think he would be very good. I cast him in one of the movies I made a long time ago called ‘The Greatest,’ actually, and he played âthe greatest.â This young man came on the set and took the space, filled the space with passion and energy. So yeah, I think if he wished it, wanted it and got it, he would be great.â
