'He Definitely Wasn't Boyfriend Material': Carey Mulligan Vividly Recalls Meeting Her Husband

The "Maestro" star cheekily recalled thinking that Marcus Mumford "was not it."

It was love at first sight — for people other than Carey Mulligan and Marcus Mumford.

Mulligan, who has been married to the Mumford & Sons singer for over a decade, revealed on this week’s episode of the “Smartless” podcast that she didn’t even consider him an option when they first met — which astoundingly occurred at summer camp.

“We were friends when we were kids, so we went to camp together,” the actor said. “We met when he was 10 and I was 12 … We didn’t [hook up] but I wrote in my diary that he was the nicest, the kindest person I’d ever met, and I gave him 9 1/2 out of 10.”

“But I also wrote in my diary that he definitely wasn’t boyfriend material,” she added. “I mean, not that I’d ever had a boyfriend at that time, but I decided that he was not it.”

Mulligan said she and Mumford became pen pals “for a couple of years” but lost touch before the world got a little smaller.
