On Thursday, the 32-year-old Bullet Train star was thrust in the middle of internet chatter, along with his co-star Joey King.

Fans have been letting their Twitter fingers fly over the bizarre gossip that the two are engaged in some sort of affair.

It should be noted that these rumors are just idle gossip, as there hasn't been any substance to all the hearsay. King is happily engaged to director Steven Piet, while the Taylor-Johnsons seem to be going strong.

Nevertheless, users have been sounding off on the alleged affair and in a very surprising way: by fantasizing that it's true and bashing Fifty Shades of Grey director Sam Taylor-Johnson in the process.

Why are fans harshly bashing Sam Taylor-Johnson?

Sam Taylor-Johnson met the Kick-Ass actor in 2009, when he was 18 and she was 42.

The pair got hitched in 2012 and share two daughters of their own, along with Sam's two daughters from her previous marriage.

The spouses' 20-year age gap has been criticized before, but now it seems that users are taking these new rumors as an opportunity to horrifically drag the 55-year-old filmmaker.

One user wrote, "I dont support cheating unless it is aaron taylor johnson cheating on the old woman who gr00med him when he was a minor and she was already 45."

Another fan tweeted, "me criticizing Pique and Liam Hemsworth for cheating vs after hearing the rumor that Aaron Taylor Johnson cheated on his granny groomer wife."

Here are some more unflattering reactions from Twitter users.

Again, the cheating rumors are just rumors – and people could really do with easing up on the blatant ageism.
