For this year’s Vanity Fair’s Young Hollywood issue, the publication picked the rising superstars of today from Florence Pugh to Aaron Taylor-Johnson. The English actor in particular had an exceptional last year. Johnson, who mostly prefers to stay away from the spotlight when he is not filming, cranked up the chaos in the action comedy, Bullet Train last year. Starring opposite Brad Pitt, the 32-year-old played a charismatic assassin. 

But that movie is not his only claim to fame. He also showcased his charms in the 2012 historical drama, Anna Karenina. The man played Pietro Maximoff in Avengers: Age of Ultron and had a dark turn in Nocturnal Animals. In his relatively short career, he has displayed his immense acting range. And now that he has earned the right to grace the cover of Vanity Fair, fans cannot keep calm.

In the cover, the actor stood cocking his eyebrows in what looked like a corridor bathed in soft yellow lights. His washboard abs were on full display as he wore his leather jacket unbuttoned. He paired the jacket with printed trousers and some black boots. He opted to bleach his hair and go for a blonde look rather than his usual dark hair. The red lights leaked in through the windows and doors, further up the sexual undertones of the shoot.

As the magazine released the photoshoot of Aaron Taylor-Johnson, fans took over the micro-blogging site to express their many thoughts over the cover.

Well, he can not only rock shirtless looks but can also look great all suited up, which makes him a perfect contender for James Bond.

Several names have popped up, including Johnson’s, to be the next 007. Following a meeting with the Broccoli family, he is now the frontrunner for the role since Henry Cavill is out of the competition.

Addressing the rumors, the Kraven star stated that he is flattered, but he is staying grounded. He doesn’t want to let what the internet says get to his head. “You just want to stay in your lane, stay grounded, stay around the people that you love and love you back, and stay in that world,” he told Vanity Fair.
