Taylor-Wood, Johnson confirm engagement

Sam Taylor-Wood has confirmed that she is engaged to Aaron Johnson.

BBC News reports that the director met 19-year-old Johnson on the set of her latest film Nowhere Boy, in which he plays John Lennon.

Taylor-Wood's spokesperson said: "Sam and Aaron are engaged and very happy."

The couple were seen together at the London Film Festival earlier this week, where Taylor-Wood praised Johnson's portrayal of Lennon.

"When he came for the audition at the beginning I knew he was perfect because he just had the intensity, the focus and the charisma to pull off such an iconic role," she said. "I saw 300-odd people and he was the only one that stood out."

The Turner-nominated artist divorced her first husband Jay Jopling last year.
