Wait—That Was Aaron Taylor-Johnson in Shanghai Knights?!
If you ever caught a rerun of Shanghai Knights and thought, “That kid looks weirdly familiar,” you’re not alone. It turns out that the young boy who played Charlie Chaplin in the 2003 action-comedy was none other than Aaron Taylor-Johnson. Yes, that Aaron Taylor-Johnson — star of Kick-Ass, Avengers: Age of Ultron, and Bullet Train.
Most people never put two and two together because, well, he was just ten years old at the time and completely unrecognizable. With his round face, floppy brown hair, and charming British accent, the future movie star blended seamlessly into the film’s Victorian London backdrop alongside Jackie Chan and Owen Wilson.
But once you realize it’s him, you can’t unsee it. The cheeky grin, the mischievous spark — it’s all there. It’s a perfect example of one of those “blink and you’ll miss it” roles that major actors quietly had before they blew up.
So next time someone tells you Aaron Taylor-Johnson’s breakout role was in Kick-Ass, hit ‘em with the truth: he was already stealing scenes in Shanghai Knights… he was just half the size.
