A decade after a slew of bullying allegations, Aaron Taylor-Johnson finds himself in hot water once again as his bleak past resurfaces. For those who might have forgotten, Sandra Echeverría, the 40-year-old Mexican star, has accused the 35-year-old British actor of bullying and misconduct during the filming of the 2012 movie Savage. The film starred an impressive ensemble including Blake Lively, Salma Hayek, Taylor Kitsch, Emile Hirsch, Jake McLaughlin, and others.
Echeverría, who played Magdalena Sánchez in the film, took to social media to claim that her co-star deliberately injured her while recording a scene in the William Oliver Stone-directed movie. She described being tied up in a van, helpless and unable to protect herself as the truck was revved harder by her fellow actors.
"Me being tied feet and hands, I could not hold myself up, and they only revved the truck stronger so that I would hurt myself more," she said. "My dad saw everything from afar and was purple with anger. I went down all hurt. I decided not to say anything and hold on, but I hated them."
An insider told Radar Online that Taylor-Johnson's past is still casting a shadow over his life after more than a decade, as he aspires to be the next James Bond but faces daunting odds. "It's no secret Aaron was a little cocky in his youth," the source said. "But he's grown so much since then that it would be a tragedy if he lost out on either of those opportunities because of something that happened in his early 20s." "Let's hope whatever happened doesn't come back to bite him," the insider added.
