Read our privacy policy Aaron Taylor-Johnson has spoken candidly about his ever-changing relationship with social media, and how he’s had to build up a “thick skin” to deal with the “toxic” comments. “You’ve lost it.” As for social media, the Nocturnal Animals star admitted he’s “awful” at keeping up with it and would “rather not carry a phone” altogether. “I only started carrying a phone when my kids went to school and I thought, I’d better have a phone for emergencies,” he said. “But having to deal with that early in my career probably got me to a place where I can more quickly just go, ‘Oh, fuck it’ instead of wanting to rip someone’s head off for asking questions I don’t like.” In June 2022, the couple celebrated their 10-year wedding anniversary by renewing their vows.
