Aaron Johnson
We first spotted Aaron in Angus, Thongs & Perfect Snogging, and were thrilled to see him cast as John Lennon in Nowhere Boy. That film disappointed at the box-office, but Aaron more than bounced back playing the lead role of the brilliant Kick-Ass. A sequel is in the works. Charles says: It’s amazing to think Aaron is still only 20. He has a big career ahead of him.
