Style Spotlight

Taylor-Johnson paired his charcoal-gray Armani ensemble with a classic white shirt and a slim black tie. His polished look was accented by an Omega Seamaster on his wrist—a nod to his ongoing collaboration with the Swiss watchmaker. Makeup artist Chris Blundell and hairstylist Chris Triplet, both highlighted in Taylor-Johnson’s post, delivered a clean, modern finish under the Armani Beauty banner.

Inside ’28 Years Later’

The sequel reunites director Danny Boyle and writer Alex Garland nearly three decades after their breakout hit 28 Days Later (2002). Set in a post-pandemic Britain, it follows Jamie (Taylor-Johnson) and Isla (Jodie Comer) as they raise their young son, Spike, on the remote Holy Island. A recent Instagram feature teased the film’s haunting new trailer with the caption “Memento Mori. Danny Boyle and Alex Garland reunite for #28YearsLater – exclusively in movie theatres 6.20.” (Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/p/DJV9v5OxLqe/)

In an exclusive Empire Online preview, a production still reveals Jamie and Isla’s tightly knit community life on Lindisfarne—forged in isolation but soon tested by forces on the mainland. (Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/p/DEnMjLmiNzP/)

Aaron’s Evolution

Born June 13, 1990, in High Wycombe, England, Aaron Taylor-Johnson began acting in his teens and earned critical acclaim for playing John Lennon in Nowhere Boy (2009). He broke out again as Dave Lizewski in Kick-Ass (2010) and its sequel, then won a Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actor in Nocturnal Animals (2016). Recent credits include Bullet Train (2022) and Sony’s upcoming Assassin blockbuster.

Beyond film, Taylor-Johnson is a familiar face in luxury branding. Last autumn, OMEGA welcomed him to their Bienne watchmaking atelier for an exclusive tour and campaign shoot. The actor shared images from the visit under the hashtag #OMEGAMyChoice, praising the craftsmanship behind each timepiece. (Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/p/DJ86S7qKJ-e/)

Premiere Night Buzz

Alongside co-star Jodie Comer and Boyle himself, Taylor-Johnson joined fans and press at the star-studded London event. Critics on social media praised his effortless style, while early reactions to the film’s suspenseful tone hint at a worthy successor to the original.

As 28 Years Later hits theaters on June 20, audiences will soon discover whether this new chapter amplifies the dread and urgency that made the first film a genre classic. Meanwhile, Taylor-Johnson’s Armani-clad premiere appearance cements him as both a serious actor and a red-carpet fashion standout.
