DESCRIPTION

In a short time that Aaron Taylor-Johnson has graced us with his performances in “Kick-Ass,” “Nowhere Boy,” “Savages,” and “Albert Nobbs,” he has proven that he is an actor to watch. Taylor-Johnson has a knack for stealing scenes including his new work as Vronsky in the romantic drama “Anna Karenina.”

I sat down with the actor to talk about:

• What attracted him to the role of Vronsky
• His love for taking risky roles
• The subtext and metaphor of the movie
• The film’s moving set pieces
• The film’s resonating line – will you die for love – will Aaron Taylor-Johnson die for love?
• He teases us a bit on “Kick-Ass 2”
