‘In fact, I have been a fan of ACQUA DI GIÒ for a long time – because of its purity and its indescribable freshness.
‘I’ve always felt that it has that elusive combination of masculinity and sensitivity – an almost magical connection with nature and with the rejuvenating power of the sea.’
A representative of Giorgio Armani added: ‘ACQUA DI GIÒ embodies a way of understanding masculinity that is at the same time free, sensitive and adventurous.
“These are all characteristics that Aaron expresses with his presence and physicality.
‘It was this balance between body and mind that convinced me he was the right person to represent the fragrance.
‘Aaron has an intensity and beauty that is both self-confident and emblematic of today.’
It comes after MailOnline revealed in October that Aaron has been named the odds-on favorite to become the next James Bond.
Ever since Daniel Craig left the role of 007 after five films and made his Bond swan song in 2021’s No Time To Die, rumors have swirled about which suave star will replace the icon.

An insider revealed to MailOnline that the British Aaron actor, 33, was extremely close to landing the role, while Oppenheimer director Christopher Nolan, 53, would likely direct the next film in the franchise.
The insider said: ‘Aaron Taylor-Johnson is currently the hot favorite to step into the iconic role. He’s Barbara Broccoli’s first choice – he’s the one to beat.”
They added of Christopher: “He is extremely interested in doing something completely different with the franchise. If he can get his way with producers, he’s all for it.’
It was previously reported that Christopher wanted to direct the next Bond film as a period piece set in the same as the original source material – something director Quentin Tarantino had previously wanted to do with Casino Royale, but was turned down.
However, the insider added: “Whether Nolan’s arrival will impact Aaron Taylor-Johnson’s casting is a gray area at the moment – because he’s very picky about who he works with.”
Christopher is known for consistently using similar casts in his films, working with another rumored Bond, Tom Hardy, on three films, Inception, Dunkirk and The Dark Knight Rises.
He worked with Aaron on the 2020 film Tenet, in which the actor played the minor character Ives.
