Marvel star Aaron Taylor-Johnson has shared a selection of photographs to his Instagram account to wish his step-daughter, Jessie, a happy eighteenth birthday.

The actor, who married Sam Taylor-Johnson, Jessie's mother, in June 2012, posted two rare images of himself with his step-daughter — who he dubbed his 'babygirl' — to Instagram. In the first, a much younger Aaron can be seen hugging Jessie; in the second, which appears to be more recent, a bearded Aaron hugs her again. He captioned the first, 'Happy birthday babygirl,' followed by two pink heart emojis; he captioned the second, '18 now. Still my babygirl.'

Sam admitted in April 2024 that she finds the public's 'fascination' with her marriage to the Kick Ass star 'intense.'

Discussing her relationship on BBC Radio 4's This Cultural Life, the Back to Black director said: 'I guess that interest was more when we got together, which was now 14 years – at the beginning, was quite intense.

'And that sort of fascination, because he's younger than me, which you know, we couldn't really fathom the fascination. But I guess it's sort of gone away a little bit.'

Sam's interview comes hot on the heels of the rumour mill suggesting that her husband, who's also starred in Angus Thongs and Perfect Snogging, and Avengers: Age Of Ultron, will soon have big shoes to fill amid rumours he's set to become the next James Bond.

The Sun reported earlier this year that a source said that the role is 'Aaron's job, should he wish to accept it' and that Eon Productions, the company behind the films, has offered him the job. 'The formal offer is on the table and they are waiting to hear back,' the source added.

Just a matter of days before, Numero magazine published an interview with the actor during which he addressed rumours linking him to the famous role. 'I find it charming and wonderful that people see me in that role. I take it as a great compliment,' he said.

If he does take on the role as the seventh Bond in the film franchise, he would follow Daniel Craig and a long line of actors including Sean Connery, George Lazenby, Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton and Pierce Brosnan.

Taylor-Johnson married his wife, director Sam Taylor-Johnson, after meeting on the set of the 2009 film Nowhere Boy, which starred Aaron and was directed by Sam. The couple, who have a 24-year age gap, welcomed their daughters, Wylda Rae and Romy Hero in July 2010 and January 2012, respectively. The pair also parent Sam's daughters, Jessie and Angelica, from her previous marriage to art dealer Jay Jopling.
