Aaron Taylor-Johnson's Life In The Spotlight And Why His Marriage Is So Divisive

Like many of his handsome contemporaries, Aaron Taylor-Johnson has served as the face for several designer fashion brands. In 2017, he was the face of the Gentleman Givenchy fragrance, whose ad campaign was directed by his wife, Sam Taylor-Johnson. “It’s a real honor and privilege that I take with pride,” the actor said of the experience to GQ. “[Givenchy] is a prestigious House and I am happy to be associated with a product that can reflect the ways of a modern gentleman.” 

In 2023, Calvin Klein announced Taylor-Johnson as one of their new faces of their iconic underwear line. The steamy campaign, featuring the actor in nothing but his Calvins, of course, set the internet ablaze. “It was great fun,” he said of the campaign to Esquire. “I think there’s a level of nerves and expectations when you’re going to be photographed in your underwear, but quite honestly, I’ve only ever worn Calvins, so I just felt honored and thrilled to be part of it.”

Even apart from the designer endorsements, Taylor-Johnson has been known for his sense of style. He’s even been recognized as one of GQ’s best dressed celebrities. “”Aaron has always had a great ability to mix streetwear and classic tailoring…and make it look young and fresh,” fashion designer and “Nocturnal Animals” director Tom Ford once said of the actor in GQ. “He also has a great body and wears clothes in a very natural and self-assured way, which is one of the most important factors in looking good.”
