Hunky English Actor Aaron Taylor-Johnson Shows Off Sculpted Bod in Sizzling Insta Post

"Kick-Ass" star Aaron Taylor-Johnson got away from it all recently, but he checked in with his fans with a thirsty group of photos that showed off his toned torso and pumped-up arms.
Taylor-Johnson recently starred in "The Fall Guy," and will grace screens later this year in a pair of major movies, taking the title role in MCU blockbuster "Kraven the Hunter" and starring in Robert Eggers' new take on "Nosferatu."
The buff "Bullet Train" actor is rumored to be the next James Bond, and he certainly has a license to thrill in an Instagram post that entices the imagination.
"🌈🌊 little get away 💕," the 34-year-old actor captioned the slide show, which also showed him frolicking with a handstand and a leap in the air.
The 34-year-old posed together with his movie director wife, Sam Taylor-Johnson, whom he met on the set of "Nowhere Boy," the John Lennon biopic that Sam helmed in 2009.
Taylor-Johnson's fans and fellow celebs alike flocked to the post to leave their compliments.
"When they first met on the film Aaron was just 18 and Sam was 42," UK newspaper the Daily Mail recalled. "They didn't get together until after they finished the project where a 'deep connection' was formed."
Added the Mail: "Sam previously spoke about falling for Aaron on the set, but insisted nothing happened until the movie wrapped."
The two were wed in 2012 and have four daughters, two of them Sam's from a previous marriage.
"The snaps come amid reports Aaron has been offered to play the new James Bond - taking over from Daniel Craig," the Mail detailed.
"Insiders" have said those reports are untrue and no successor to Daniel Craig's 15-year reign as the super-spy has yet been chosen, the Mail went on to add.
But when asked about it, "Aaron played coy," the Mail teased.
"I find it charming and wonderful that people see me in that role. I take it as a great compliment," Taylor-Johnson said.
It's all too easy to imagine the ripped thesp in the role after he recently posted a video of himself dressed up, as Bond would be, in a stylish tuxedo.
Not to mention, with the new crop of images, Taylor-Johnson has left his fans both shaken and stirred.
