He’s based in Los Angeles with his other half Sam as well as their two children Wylda Rae and Romy Hero.

And it appears Aaron Taylor-Johnson is taking life in California in his stride as he enjoyed a spot of surfing in Malibu on Monday.

The Avengers actor, 30, showcased his new surfing skills as he stood on his long board while clad in a cropped wetsuit and bold blue bucket hat.

Riding the wave into the shore, the Nocturnal Animals star then displayed his incredibly muscular physique as he peeled off his rash guard.

The Savages actor wore his wet curly locks swept back off his face and was also rocking a full beard, while accessorising with a simple chain necklace.

Protecting himself from the sun, Aaron sported blue sun cream under his eyes and across his nose, which no doubt helped with the sun’s glare while out in the water. 

Elsewhere, Aaron and his wife Sam, 53, met on the set of the 2009 John Lennon biopic Nowhere Boy, which Sam directed, when she was 42 and he was 18.

The English pair announced their engagement later that year and married in 2012 with a ceremony in Somerset, England.

At the time of their first collaboration, Aaron went by the surname Johnson, while Sam went by Taylor-Wood, but both adopted the married name Taylor-Johnson. 

The lovebirds returned to collaborating in 2018 with their adaptation of James Frey’s pseudo-memoir A Million Little Pieces.

The couple wrote the film together, making it Aaron’s first credited screenwriting gig.

He starred in the movie as Frey, who’s sent to a rehab center after suffering a serious fall while under the influence of drugs. 

Aaron is due to appear on screens in the hotly-anticipated Christopher Nolan thriller Tenet, touted to be the first big blockbuster to be released post-lockdown.

Vey little is actually known about the plot, but Tenet has been described as a film set within the world of international espionage.
