The Aaron Johnson Vman editorial shows exactly why this celebrity is on the "it" list. Not only is he still riding the 'Kick Ass' high, he is also a [newly minted father and fiance](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/family-campaign-1). Johnson is definitely not your typical 20-year-old.

Photographed by Hedi Slimane, the Aaron Johnson Vman editorial is appropriately titled 'Family Man.' Displaying a maturity that seems to be lacking among [young stars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/akshay-bhatia) these days, he avoids industry temptations, saying, "You can’t do s—-- like that, not if you want to work professionally and be taken seriously."
