I have remained uber-silent for my personal safety, but I cannot contain my excitement for this request! When I read the Mortal Instruments…this is the Simon my brain drew! Thanks so much for this request via Twitter @MI_MovieNews.
A little about Aaron Johnson (the third III)
- Nominated for: Teen Choice Award, British Independent Film Award, ALFS Award
- Won: Empire Award
- Known for ‘Kick-Ass’, ‘The Illusionist’, ‘Nowhere Boy’, and ‘Shanghai Knights’
Don’t get me wrong: Maxwell Reed would also be fine!!!
awwe yesssssss
If Simon Lewis came off the pages of City of Bones, he’d look like this xD I adore this guy! I was all for Max Reed, but heck, this guy’s HANDSOME! And, from the looks of it, a good actor with a chunk of seniority. I can see myself worrying now, though, because this guy’s better looking than ‘Jace’, but I think it’s all about the actors’ believablility…
…Which is where I worry about Lily Collins. She’s pretty, sure (though I agree roraingly with everyone else- fix the eyebrows, lady!), but after seeing her in Mirror Mirror, I’m scared. The movie itself was bad, but the actors had no stage prescence, their acting wasn’t very good, and remember: Half of a movie’s failure is the director and the screenwriters, the other half is the actors’ inability to create their characters. So, I’m scared this movie’ll crash and burn like Twilight- but the difference will be, no one will be addicted to this like the Twihards were.
I wish best of luck to this movie, because my doubts are high.
I couldn’t agree with youu more! I’m disappointed in the original cast, as well as Isabelle and Alec. Jace mostly. But I haven’t seen Mirror Mirror, but I had heard some a lot of people that the acting was terrible, I hope my favorite book series isn’t ruined by the movie!
That has to be simon…no doubt!!
YES!!!!!!! Just need to straighten hair and mwah! Perfection
YES!!! He is perfect for simon! Exactly how i pictured him and i think he would be amazing for the part!
Love Him Too!!
I m scared this will turn out like twlight since I HATE THAT MOVIE but I thought they books were pretty normal fanistly and didn’t get what the big deal about them were… now these books are AMAZING I hope fans don’t go all crazy if they do I hope they movie is good enough for pretty to go crazy about cuz twlight SUCKED some of the worst acting and worst chemistry I have ever seen between the cast plus it was pretty boring. As soon as I saw who the picked for jace I was scared since jace was meant to be so good looking it was like he fall out of heaven but the guy the picked is not like that at all so I known it would be hard picking simon since now he can’t be cuter than jace but he has to be a cute nerd who plays in a band that is a hard thing to find that is why I think and always will that Kristopher Turner would be right for the part but if I can’t have him as simon than is guy is a cute nerd…to me he looks a lil young but he wouldn’t be too bad for the part
*drooools* halelujah halelujah halelujah (the choral sings)
If he gets cast I am going to cry. Been in love with him since that Snogging with Agnus or whatever came out! He SCREAMS Simon with his hair a bit shaggy and straight!
i think he can do it, because in the end of the day, when simon turns a vampire he is supposed to look hotter anyway
ilove he is vere mush cute
Him! Definitely him! He’s cute, but with a slight nerdy look to him.
He has the right vulnerable look and the glasses.
OMG Prosper! (The Theif Lord) He’s also in Angus, Thongs, and Full-frontal Snogging. God he’s adorable, but so is Logan, and Asher… tough choice…
The only thing I’ve seen him in is Theif Lord so I didn’t recognize him in the pics above!! XD I loved him as Prosper though. Prosper as Simon? …maybe…lol
Yee.
i love aaron
hell yea i love him hes one of my fave actors i fricken love this cutie #aaronjohnson
nope not my simon at all!
This has to be Simon! he has that cute nerd thing going on but at the same time he’s really hot.
SUUUUUUCH A HOTTIE YEs yes yes YES!
Yes yes yes SUCH a HOttie!!! I LOVE him!
No wayy.. :/
I was gona say that he was a kinda good Simon, but yeah, better for Alec.
to me alec has more bone structure and messy black hair that falls across his face no matter how hard u try to keep it away, and he has dark blue eyes. so i think aaron is a good simon, we are going all british on this film i think =)
we want alex to be jace = british
and now we want arron johnson for simon= british
yes! i agree. do it. perfect. im in love. yes
The kid from Kick Ass? Hmmm… he’s a dang good actor, but Logan rocks. Hmmm…
I would love him to play the part, but since I found out he’s engaged to a 42 year-old woman, it kinda turned me off of him. But he’s a great actor, I must say.
She’s pregnant with his kid too :/ yeugh
yea, I’m sure I did….just throw up in my mouth >_<
ew ew ew ew ew ew ew, I WOULD HAVE SAID YES, BUT NOW…….UM, NO, WELL, MAYBE, HE IS GOOD, BUT THAT’S KIND OF WEIRD……
Oh come on. Since when has personal life had anything to do with your acting ability or your ability to play a character? Did anyone start hating Harry Styles when he dated Caroline Flack? No. I mean, sure, they complained, but they didn’t start saying, ‘Omigawd he can NOT be a part of One Direction now.’
Okay, yes, it’s not wonderful, and it’s a little gross, but this guy can ACT, and he’s cute, in a very Simon-ish way, so…WHO THE HECK CARES? If he can play Simon, then that’s enough for me.
I think I just threw up a little in my mouth….ew.
well, i think he’d definitely be a good fit for the role.
@Alexis, Logan Lerman is more like Alec (imo) :]
He Is more like alec not simon
He is WAY too hot to be Simon. Hell no.
That other guy, Matt Angel, you posted was how I imagined him. Either him or Kristopher Turner
kristopher turner is 30 years old, he could not play a 16 year old!!
OMG!! this is my request! He is the perfect simon for mee!!
thank you for posting it 
Can’t wait till they announce the cast !! and for the movie!!
*cough*Logan Lerman rocks*cough*
*cough* ditto *cough* *cough*
Yes!! He’s Simon for me!! He has the nerd look but at the same time he can be sexy xD (cuz we know that he has to be sexy on next books xD)
Aww, he’s cute
