Aaron Taylor-Johnson (Bullet Train) joined the cast of Ryan Gosling's The Fall Guy last month, causing excitement among fans. The 32-year-old caught fans' attention on the action movie set in Sydney, Australia.
Following his role in Brad Pitt's Bullet Train, the star actor gained a new audience excited to see him in this new movie. The crew was about to film a scene featuring him and Gosling on a luxury yacht.
The pictures showed Taylor-Johnson in golden pants decorated with silver-plated rings on each side. He'd dyed, his natural black curly hair a golden blonde, and he had protective sunglasses handy.
The actor covered his pecs with a striped robe when they weren't filming, thus adding more flare to his "obnoxious" movie star's persona. Gosling also dyed, his light brown hair golden blonde like his leading actor.
Taylor-Johnson looked ready to party in those stills, so we're in for a ride.
The Fall Guy is an action movie about a burnt-out stuntman (Gosling) who reconnects with his old leading actor (Taylor-Johnson) until the latter goes missing. The mystery spurs the stuntman into action as he tries to find his former co-star.
It also stars Emily Blunt as Gosling's love interest, Stephanie Hsu as Taylor-Johnson's assistant, Winston Duke as Gosling's best friend, and Hannah Waddingham as the on-screen movie producer.
The rest of the cast joined this month, and all things being equal, The Fall Guy is set for a Spring 2024 release. It's an adaptation of the 1981 series, The Fall Guy, which starred Lee Majors, Douglas Barr, and Heather Thomas.
Taylor-Johnson indeed feels comfortable working with his Bullet Train director, David Leitch. The 32-year-old played Tangerine, "one of two assassin brothers escorting a Russian-born Yakuza boss" in the action movie.
Bullet Train had double release dates in July and August and did well in the theaters grossing $239.3 million against a $90 million budget.
Taylor-Johnson will also star in other top movies, from Marvel's Kraven to Sony's Hunter. He spent some time in France with his wife, Sam, before traveling to Sydney to film The Fall Guy as seen on Instagram.
The actor shared a fun picture of himself living "dangerously" in the City of Love - he hung from a balcony leaning away from the railings.
He met Sam at 18, and they've been inseparable ever since.
