Aaron Taylor-Johnson Wondering If Buying Tuxedo More Economical In Long Run Than Renting One For Each ‘Bond’ Film

LOS ANGELES—As rumors persist that he may be the next actor to take on the franchise’s lead role, Aaron Taylor-Johnson told reporters Monday that he had been wondering whether buying a tuxedo would be more economical in the long run than renting one for each James Bond film. “I know it’s a big splurge, but if I’m going to be the next Bond, I should probably have my own tux instead of going to Men’s Wearhouse for a rental every time we start a new movie,” said Taylor-Johnson, adding that the bills could really start to add up were he to pay $300 for every scene shot at a gala, a castle, or upscale casino with a black-tie dress code. “If it were just one Bond movie, I’d rent, of course—that’s a no-brainer—but I know Daniel Craig really regretted not buying one when he did Casino Royale. Plus, I’d like something that actually fits me. When I rented formal wear for Anna Karenina, it was two sizes too big, and it smelled like someone had just worn it to prom.” At press time, Taylor-Johnson confirmed he would definitely be buying his own tuxedo after Men’s Wearhouse charged him a huge cleaning fee for returning a jacket from 2024’s The Fall Guy with several bullet holes in it.
