A post shared by Vanity Fair (@vanityfair)They say “they don’t make movie stars anymore,” but the cover of Vanity Fair‘s annual “Hollywood Issue” laughs in the face of the assertion, featuring 12 of the buzziest, most sought-after actors working today.The glossy spread is a “who’s who” of the names you need to know, including everyone from jill-of-all-trades (and Queerties “Badass” nominee) Keke Palmer to nonbinary crush Emma Corrin.The feature is also heavy on heartthrobs, with muscle-bearing photoshoots and eye-popping videos that feel designed to send Twitter into overdrive.And, guess what?
It worked!For instance, you simply can’t open the app today without seeing this ab-forward photo of Aaron Taylor-Johnson accompanied by a deeply thirsty comment that we probably can’t print here:Willing to hyphenate my last name, among other things, for this man.
https://t.co/T3WL7c4ah6Um… where were we?In his interview, the chiseled English actor touches on all the big things he has ahead—including the rumors that he’s the favorite to be the next James Bond (sorry Luke Evans).But the profile’s highlight is a video in which Vanity Fair asks its cover stars to show off their “late-night party tricks,” and Taylor-Johnson’s is a doozy: He does a freestanding backflip somersault in a black tank top and some tight pants he admits aren’t suited to this type of activity.Just as he’s stretching and saying, “these really aren’t the pants you really wanna be doing [backflips] in,” the cheeky camera operator zooms in on his glutes and lets the cheeks do the talking.No one’s playing it cool:EVERYONE SAY THANK YOU VANITY FAIR FOR THIS SHOT OF AARON TAYLOR JOHNSON pic.twitter.com/PofzTRzjmPthe part where Aaron Taylor Johnson lunges ?.
