Up-and-coming actor Aaron Johnson shot to fame earlier this month after starring in the critical and fan favorite superhero movie ‘Kick-Ass.’ But People.com is reporting that the 19-year-old is garnering unwanted attention for his personal life, as he’s engaged to British artist Sam Taylor-Wood, who is 24 years older than he.

Not only is Johnson engaged to his 43-year-old ‘Nowhere Boy’ director, whom he met on that set last year, but she is also seven months pregnant with his child. Taylor-Wood already has two other children, 13-year-old Angelica and 3-year-old Jessie, from her 11-year marriage to art dealer Jay Jopling.

Though the two were engaged a few months after meeting and are already living together, Johnson insists that the two are madly in love. “I’ve got a wonderful woman. She’s lovely and she’s a fantastic mother,’ he said. “I’m an old soul and she’s a young soul,’ he added.

Johnson said he’s excited about the birth of their child, who is due this summer. He added that fatherhood doesn’t scare him, as he’s “…already a stepdad to (Angelica and Jessie). So the nerves have sort of gone.’
