Trivia

Sam Taylor-Johnson

  • She has had cancer twice. In December 1997, she was treated for colon cancer. In 2000, she was diagnosed with breast cancer.
  • Has four daughters: Angelica Jopling (b. April 24, 1997) and Jessie Phoenix Jopling (b. November 2005) with ex-husband Jay Jopling; Wylda Rae Johnson (b. July 7, 2010) and Romy Hero Johnson (b. January 18, 2012) with husband Aaron Taylor-Johnson.
  • She and Jay Jopling separated in 2008.
  • Announced her engagement to Aaron Taylor-Johnson, having been in a relationship since May 2009 after meeting on the set of Nowhere Boy (2009).
  • She was awarded the OBE (Officer of the Order of the British Empire) in the 2011 Queen's Birthday Honors List for her services to the Arts. She is an artist and photographer.
  • (June 21, 2012) Married her boyfriend of 3 years Aaron Taylor-Johnson at Babington House, Somerset. They have two daughters together, Wylda, 2, and Romy, 5 months.
  • Longtime friend of London-based American fashion designer Tom Ford.
  • On October 27, 2008, she released her version of the Passions classic ballad from 1980, "I'm In Love With a German Film Star", produced by Pet Shop Boys.
  • Member of the 'Best Debut Feature' jury in the 66th Venice International Film Festival in 2009.
  • Graduated from Goldsmiths College in 1990.
  • Member of the 'Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences' (AMPAS) since 2016.
  • She is not related to her Fifty Shades of Grey (2015) star Dakota Johnson, although they share a surname, but the two also share a strong bond. The director first saw Dakota in an eye-catching cameo in The Social Network (2010) and said she wanted to know more about her; then she cast her in her star-making turn. Although she declined to direct the sequels, she has stayed in touch with Dakota and recommended her to other directors.
  • Sister of Kristian Taylor-Wood.
