Nineteen-year-old actor Aaron Johnson plays an everyday superhero in this month's Kick-Ass and a pre-Beatles John Lennon in Nowhere Boy in October. How will he follow that role? He'll welcome a child with 43-year-old director Sam Taylor-Wood.Q: How did you research your Kick-Ass role? Were you familiar with the original comic-book series?

When I got the job, I was in New York filming something else, so I went down to a massive comic-book store—Planet Comics or something—and there were only three issues out at the time. But I literally based the character off of those. The way they were written, the way he spoke. He's a nobody at school and has only two friends. He hasn't got a mum. And he creates this different person.
Q: The comic-book character is a blond guy.
