Sam Taylor-Johnson has been speaking about her marriage to Aaron-Taylor Johnson as she cannot believe the 'fascination' people have with it.
Sarah met Aaron on the set of Nowhere Boy in 2009 - a film that the former actually directed.
The movie was Sam's directional debut, and she has of course gone on to do big things since then.

At the time, Sam was 42 years old, while Aaron was 18.
A 24-year age gap is of course going to bring a lot of attention, particularly if you're a celebrity couple in the public eye.
Sam has now admitted people's initial interest in the couple's relationship was 'intense' but that has 'gone away a little bit' as the couple have now been together for 14 years.
Speaking on BBC Radio 4's This Cultural Life, Sam said: "I guess that interest was more when we got together, which was now 14 years – at the beginning, was quite intense.

"And that sort of fascination, because he's younger than me, which you know, we couldn't really fathom the fascination. But I guess it's sort of gone away a little bit.
"Mostly when I'm doing press and things like this it sort of resurges a little bit. But yeah, I guess people want to understand things when they can't.
"They want to pick up art when they can't fathom what a certain love story that doesn't fit in a box is."
The couple tied the knot in 2012, and have since welcomed two daughters: Wylda Rae, 13, and Romy Hero, 12.
Sam's latest comments come just a matter of weeks after she spoke about her relationship with Aaron in an interview the Hollywood Reporter

She said: "There are times where it’s uncomfortable. Most of the time we zone it out and stay pretty private. We tend to retreat. Kids and school runs keep you pretty grounded."
Aaron has also been speaking about his marriage, telling Rolling Stone UK: "What you gotta realize is that what most people were doing in their 20s, I was doing when I was 13.
"You're doing something too quickly for someone else? I don’t understand that. What speed are you supposed to enjoy life at? It’s bizarre to me."
