BRITISH actor Aaron Taylor-Johnson has a problem that most men would desire. His hair grows too much and too fast.
But it is an issue when you are a lead actor in a film adaptation of Leo Tolstoy’s Anna Karenina and stylists struggle to constantly peroxide your dark roots over what is scripted to be short blond hair.
“They were having to dye it like once a week. My hair was growing so fast and the dark roots were showing and I ended up wigging it; it was crazy,” Taylor-Johnson says.
The 22-year-old stars as the dashing cavalry officer Count Vronsky who sweeps the married Karenina (Keira Knightly) off her feet much to the disgrace of Russian imperial society of the 1870s.
“Anna Karenina is an elaborate, beautiful journey of this woman whose life spirals out of control in passion and love and it’s a costume drama. It has a whole theatrical element to it and that’s what I fell for,” he says. But it’s not the sort of film audiences are used to seeing Taylor-Johnson in. Think Kick Ass, Shanghai Knights and the forgettable Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging. However, he did portray John Lennon in the 2009 biopic Nowhere Boy, a performance that was widely acclaimed.
Aaron made his first appearance of the year by attending the Tom Ford London Collections: MEN AW13 Dinner At Loulou’s. And he’s sporting a brand new haircut too!

According to Deadline, Legendary Pictures is currently in talks with Aaron to star in the film. Details below.
Legendary Pictures is eyeing Kick-Ass star Aaron-Taylor Johnson to star in Godzilla, the Gareth Edwards-directed reboot of the franchise based on the iconic Japanese reptile. I’m told that Johnson, who starred in the Oliver Stone-directed Savages and Anna Karenina and followed by reprising in Kick-Ass 2: Balls To The Wall is the frontrunner for the job. He won’t make a final decision on whether or not to take the offer until he sees the final polish that Frank Darabont is writing based on the Max Borenstein script.
Legendary’s Thomas Tull and Jon Jashni are taking the creative lead on this project — they just put Mary Parent on after she became a producer of Pacific Rim — and Warner Bros is distributing everywhere except for Japan. There, rightsholders Toho will handle the release. While there has obviously been a legal dust-up in the producing ranks, the film is still on course to begin production in March, with the film dated for a May 16, 2014 release. If he takes the gig, Johnson could well have a second franchise, not at all a bad thing for a young actor. He’s repped by WME and Brillstein, and Christian Hodell in the UK.
Last month, Aaron attended the London private screening for Django Unchanged. Two photos of Aaron from the screening have been added to the gallery.
