I seem to be collecting Aarons. This is Aaron Taylor-Johnson, born in 1990 in the quaintly named High Wycombe, 29 miles west of Charing Cross. You can't get more English than that. He began acting at the age of six, did local theater and broke into film with a string of gay-subtext relationships:
Tom and Thomas (2002), about two brothers (both played by Aaron) who find each other after many years apart and embark on an adventure in order to stay together.
The Thief Lord (2006), an adaption of the German novel about two outcasts who find each other on the mean streets of Venice.
The Magic Door (2007), a heroic fantasy with a rather buffed elf helping a human boy defeat a troll.

Then things get very heterosexist very fast.
Nowhere Boy, 2009, a biopic of the teen years of future Beatle John Lennon. I suppose they couldn't help making the young John hetero-horny, but having a girl give him a blow job to seal the deal?
Kick-Ass (2010) is about a teen nerd who becomes a superhero. Funny, we never see high school A-list jocks getting superpowers. When his bulgeworthy spandex costume is discovered, he's assumed to be a gay hustler, to the constant teasing of his classmates. However, the assumption of gayness allows him to win The Girl of His Dreams.
Next Aaron starred in Savages (2012) as pot grower Ben, who is in a triadic relationship with Chon (Taylor Kitsch) and their shared girlfriend. It's all subtext, but sometimes subtext is good enough.
At least we get a more explicit butt shot -- while he is sexing the girl.
Nocturnal Animals, 2016, is a neo-noir about a woman in an unhappy marriage who gets trapped in a novel about marauding thugs, the "nocturnal animals," who kidnap her and her daughter. Aaron plays one of the animals, seen here on the toilet. You can see where the cragginess is starting to set in.

Chatroom (2010) is a rather homophobic drama about a sociopathic teen using social media to encourage bad behavior. He convinces his friend Jim to commit suicide, and kisses him to "seal the deal."

More homophobia and dicks after the break

Aaron plays superhero Pietro Maximoff in two Marvel Comic Universe movies. He doesn't display any heterosexual interest, but his character in the comics gets a wife.
In March 2017, Aaron tweets that "being a feminist is just believing in equal rights. Man, woman, gay, straight, black, white...we're all in it together."

But then he goes on to star in A Million Little Pieces, 2019, about a young man battling drug addiction, or a young man who has lost his memory of the last few weeks, depending on which premise you believe. No plot synopsis available, but it got a 23% Rotten Tomatos score, so I didn't search very hard. I was mostly interested in the cock shot in the shower.
Giovanni Ribisi plays a mincing, lisping, limp-wristed gay stereotype from the 1950s, who tries to seduce every man in sight. It looks like Aaron is inviting Giovanni to give him a blow job, but he's actually pulverizing him
Except for the Calvin Klein ad from 2023. He's still got the bulge and the bod, but his face -- getting a little scary. I wish we could turn back time.

A role in the homophobic King's Man, 2021, a queer villain in Bullet Train, 2022, and a movie star yearning for his lost love in the upcoming Fall Guy, 2024, and we can head out the door.

Wait -- we can. His gay-subtext movies are still available.
