Aaron Johnson, the 19-year-old star of the current superhero film Kick-Ass, has announced his engagement to a 43-year-old director who is seven months pregnant with his child. “I’m an old soul and she’s a young soul,” Johnson told People of his relationship to director Sam Taylor-Wood, who recently cast him to play an adolescent John Lennon. Johnson says he’s undaunted by the prospect of fatherhood because he’s “already a stepdad anyway,” referring to his relationship to Taylor-Wood’s two children, ages 13 and 3. “So the nerves have sort of gone.”
