Against tough competition, British actor Aaron Taylor-Johnson earned himself an unexpected Golden Globe at the award’s 74th annual ceremony.
Mr Taylor-Johnson beat fellow nominees Jeff Bridges and Mahershala Ali to secure the award for Best Supporting Actor for his performance in the film Nocturnal Animals.
The Jewish actor, who began his career at age six, got his first big break while starring as John Lennon in the 2009 biopic Nowhere Boy. It was while he was working on the film that role that Taylor-Johnson met his future wife, the film director and artist, Sam Taylor-Wood.
In his acceptance speech, he thanked his wife, his four children and the rest of the cast and crew who worked on the film. “Creating this role and collaborating on this journey was an immense joy,” he said.
