Aaron Taylor-Johnson’s unexpected red carpet look fuels bond debate

Aaron Taylor-Johnson may have become the new favourite to play James Bond, but when he appeared on the red carpet on Tuesday, he looked nothing like 007 at all.

The 35-year-old actor made a delicate appearance at the launch of Lightroom's brand new immersive program, Prehistoric Planet: Discovering Dinosaurs, which was produced in association with Apple TV+.

In the midst of intense speculation about who will get the fashionable role, Aaron's thick brown beard was a far cry from the clean shaven appearance for which Bond has come to be known.

At the launch of Lightroom's new family friendly experience, the star was joined by other well known figures like Damian Lewis, Kate Garraway, and Billie Piper.

Using Lightroom's state of the art projection technology, never before seen illustrations, and an classic score by Hans Zimmer, guests were transported to a breathtaking journey 66 million years into the past, where life size dinosaurs came to life.

"Dinosaurs are one of those subjects that holds timeless appeal for all sorts of audiences. There is such an incredible depth to this project both educationally and as a spectacular story to tell of the greatest creatures ever to walk on our planet," stated Damian Lewis, narrator of Prehistoric Planet: Discovering Dinosaurs.
