Aaron Taylor-Johnson’s Bushy Beard Will Have You Doing a Double Take

by

Aaron Taylor-Johnson is getting in touch with his rugged side.

During August 29th, the actor from “Kick-Ass” strolled casually through Venice, Italy’s airport, showcasing a thick beard and loose curls while on his way to participate in the 2025 Venice Film Festival.

Apart from having an unkempt appearance, the 35-year-old wore baggy black trousers and a white shirt with a collar, only partially fastened. He completed his ensemble by donning a beige jacket and a hat of similar color, along with brown suede shoes. As he moved about with his luggage, these items were evident.

It seems that Aaron’s current look has been developed over a considerable period. During the premiere of his film “Nosferatu” in Los Angeles last December, he sported a significantly shorter hairstyle and a well-groomed beard compared to his previous appearance.

By June, the actor sported a longer mane and facial hair at the premiere of “28 Years Later” in Paris. On this international trip, his hair grew long enough to form wavy tendrils that draped over his forehead, and his beard started to lengthen, stretching down his neck.

Indeed, Aaron, who is father to Wylda, aged 13, and Romy, aged 12, along with wife Sam Taylor-Johnson and stepchildren Jessie Phoenix Jopling, 18, and Angelica Mara Jopling, 28 (from Sam’s previous marriage to Jay Jopling), has adopted a more conservative appearance in the past. In fact, as recent as August 2024, he opted for a clean-shaven face and short haircut, following his decision to shave off his beard altogether.

In a Instagram Stories post at the time, he wrote, “From a glance… to something else.

Apart from being recognized for his creative hairstyles, Aaron is also widely acclaimed for significantly altering his looks for acting purposes. This is evident in his portrayal of Kraven the Hunter in the 2024 film “Kraven the Hunter”.

In a chat with Men’s Health last November, he mentioned that he was performing numerous parkour moves and quadruped movements – essentially running on all fours. What’s impressive is that we completed the entire shoot filled with action without a single injury. I found that truly remarkable.
