On the actor, the tattooist inked a drawing of a new ‘healed hummingbird’ on the actor’s chest, which was placed next to an existing tattoo of his wife’s name ‘Sam’ inscribed in intricate calligraphy. Sharing a second photo of the couple together on May 31, the artist revealed that the director had repaid the ode to her spouse by having ‘Aaron’ inked in similar handwriting on her left shoulder blade.

November 2019: Aaron Taylor-Johnson opens up about the first moment he realised he had romantic feelings for Sam
‘I remember it very, very clearly,’ he told Harper’s Bazaar. ‘I know exactly what she was wearing. This white shirt that she still has, that I love. It definitely changed my life, though not in the way I expected.’
‘We were very professional through the entire film,’ he said of their relationship during shooting Nowhere Boy. ‘No funny business at all.’
While the pair kept their feelings for each other under wraps at the time, the Nocturnal Animals star admitted that he knew everyone on set was aware of their relationship.
‘And as soon as we finished, he told me he was going to marry me. We had never been on a date, or even kissed,’ the director said. ‘And a year to the minute after we met, exactly one year to the minute, I got down on one knee and asked her to marry me.
‘In the 10 years we’ve been together, we’ve only been apart for maybe two or three days. And those were the worst days of those 10 years.’
February 2017: Aaron Taylor-Johnson addresses the couple’s 23-year age gap
In an interview for New York Magazine’s Vulture, a 26-year-old Aaron took the opportunity to discuss the difficulty adjusting to fame – most notably, the scrutiny of his marriage to the Fifty Shades of Grey director.
Discussing the pitfalls of fame, the private actor revealed he continues to struggle with talk of his marriage to Sam, after the pair married in 2012 at Babington House, Somerset.
He said: ‘The attention was intrusive. But having to deal with that early in my career probably got me to a place where I can more quickly just go, ‘Oh, f*ck it’ instead of wanting to rip someone’s head off for asking questions I don’t like.’
It’s a sentiment shared by wife Sam. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter a year earlier, the director said she tried hard not to care about the opinions of others.
‘If I gave a second thought to other people, I would be the unhappiest person, probably still in a miserable marriage,’ she told THR. ‘People like to talk about it. I’m like, “Yeah, but it works better than my last marriage.” It’s lasted longer than a lot of my friends’ marriages.’
However, despite the pair’s long-term relationship, Aaron said he doubted he’d ever be able to cope with intrusive questions about their romance.
‘I’ll never be Jennifer Lawrence or Tom Cruise, someone who can hold a movie and then be charming and charismatic doing promotion. I haven’t got what they’ve got. But at least I’m now comfortable just being myself,’ he said.
In 2015, Aaron hit back at the criticism to Saturday’s Times magazine, saying: ‘I knew I wanted to be with her. I wanted kids, we had kids and I was really into that, taking time off and involving myself in the bubble of her pregnancy.’

Thank you for putting up with me. Jesus, that was not very pleasant in this role, so you’re my soulmate and I love you very much.
‘I’m blessed. I have four beautiful daughters: Angelica, Phoenix, Wylda, and Romy, I love you all very much.’
January 2015: Sam Taylor-Johnson gushes over life at home with Aaron
In an interview with The Guardian, the director said of the pair’s home life: ‘The great thing about Aaron is that he’s happy not working and being at home with the kids while I work. We’re actually fighting over it. He’s like, “No no, I like being an at-home dad, doing the cooking and the school runs.”
‘Being in an amazing relationship, having come out of a difficult one, it felt so good. And I feel like that stability has enabled me to get on with doing this momentous project.’
