In a fun and engaging episode of Royal Court, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, the renowned actor known for his roles in Nocturnal Animals and Craven the Hunter, graced the show and proved to be as witty as he is talented. Host Brittany Broski put the actor through a playful “royal interrogation” filled with humor, candid moments, and a few surprising revelations about his life and career.
The episode kicked off with a hilarious and slightly awkward introduction. Brittany jokingly asked Aaron if he was ready for the trial ahead, to which Aaron responded with a mixture of humor and anticipation. The first question asked about a notorious scene from Nocturnal Animals, in which Aaron’s character is seen naked on an outdoor toilet. He readily admitted to it, humorously confirming, “Yes, I did.” The playful banter set the tone for what was to follow—a lighthearted, but revealing chat about his life and career.
One of the more serious moments in the interview came when Aaron opened up about his social anxiety. He shared how sometimes meeting fans can be overwhelming, yet he expressed deep understanding of the effort they put into approaching him. “I try to be polite and kind,” he said, acknowledging how people often work up the courage to meet him. His candidness about his own struggles made him even more relatable to his fans.
The conversation then turned to Aaron’s lesser-known hobby: vegetable farming. The actor revealed that he has a garden where he grows an impressive variety of crops, including carrots, kale, and sugar snap peas. When Brittany joked about his lack of a greenhouse for tomatoes, Aaron laughed and shared his woes about the British weather. His love for gardening was a refreshing departure from his action-packed roles and gave fans a glimpse of his quieter, down-to-earth side.
Later in the show, the two enjoyed a royal feast, which included a series of hilarious and unique snacks. Aaron recounted a story of a cherry pie mishap where he accidentally chopped his finger, adding humor to the situation. “It was blood splattered all over the kitchen,” he said, laughing at his own accident. Despite his cooking disasters, Aaron kept the mood light and funny as he tried out some marshmallow-based snacks prepared by his nutritionist.
The interview also delved into Aaron’s inspirations. He named legendary actors Gary Oldman and Daniel Day-Lewis as major influences on his craft, praising their ability to completely transform into their roles. Aaron shared his process of getting into character, which often involves changing his routine, appearance, and even the music he listens to, in order to truly inhabit his roles.
As the royal interrogation came to a close, Aaron created his own family crest as part of the show’s fun tradition. The crest included symbols like an acorn, representing his hometown, and a beehive, symbolizing his interests. He also humorously mentioned that his favorite superpower would be teleportation, so he could instantly be with his family or on set.
Aaron wrapped up the episode with a heartfelt endorsement of Craven the Hunter, encouraging fans to check out the action-packed movie. His sense of humor, humility, and thoughtful insights made this Royal Court appearance one for the books, providing a unique and entertaining look at the actor behind the roles.
This episode was a delightful mix of lighthearted fun and personal reflection, making Aaron Taylor-Johnson’s appearance on Royal Court a memorable one for fans.
