But anyways, I am Mel. I'm Kel.
And yeah, welcome to this fun summer Patreon episodes.
Yep, today we're covering a couple that I know literally
nothing about. I Kelly covering it.
So if you're new, we switch off covering each couple.
And we're cousins. I feel like you should know
that. Yeah.
Today we are talking about the
actress Carey Mulligan and the musician Marcus Mumford of
Mumford and Sons. Yes.
You might know from Mumford and Sons.
The Mumford comes from Mumford. Marcus Mumford.
Yes. That's a great name.
Marcus. Marcus Mumford.
I know. Where is he from?
England. OK Yeah.
And so is she. So this is a British episode.
Oh, I love that. We're going to England today.
Yeah, they have. You know what?
I'm going to make just a bold claim here.
I think the cutest or not, one of the cutest meat cutes of this
podcast. I love that this is the main
reason I wanted to do this. This is a meat cute episode.
This is a meat. This is all about the meat.
I love that M EE T. Not MB AT It's all about that,
but I originally thought that this episode was going to be
like 15 minutes long because I thought it was only going to be
about the way they met. I didn't think there was any
more information about them, but I kept digging.
I kept researching you guys and I have more to say.
So it's not just going to be how they met, but how they met is
very cute. And I'm going to say the three
words to describe this couple. I would say private.
Well, those private couples keep having those.
I know. I understand why they do it.
But yeah, it's disappointing. Private homey.
OK, so do you seem homey to me? And serendipitous?
Oh, I really want to know how they met.
OK, well, hang on. I'm going to get into their back
story first, so. Carrie Hannah Mulligan.
She was born May 28th, 1985, so today she's 38.
She was born in London. She's a Gemini.
It's so is Mel, so you can relate to her maybe.
Her father is of Irish descent, originally from Liverpool, and
he was a hotel manager. And her mother, Nano Booth, was
from Wales, a university lecturer and she also has an
older brother, Owen, who today is a captain in the British
Army. At age 3, her dad's hotel
manager job took the family to Germany.
Moved to Germany. Yep, people always move around
and they moved back to the UK. When she was 8 years old.
She attended an Independent School for girls in Surrey and
she got into acting as little kid, performing in plays at
school, she said about her youth.
I was like a drama geek. I never fell into acting.
I was obsessed with acting from a young age.
I wanted to be musicals. I wore a lame is T-shirt for
four years, well into my teens. She also said in childhood she
was very goody goody, churchgoing, hardworking,
obedient. She never did anything wrong
because she was terrified of being caught, and this article
said that she still never tried drugs.
She said I had a terrible guilty conscious from an early age.
I don't know why. Wasn't anything to do with her?
Christianity, No, she says. Religion was always a positive
thing for her. From the ages of 8 to 11 she
went to. Convent school in England and
saying in the church choir. Throughout her childhood I had
religion around me and provided a real community and that lasted
into my adulthood. Part of the reason I love doing
films and plays is I love having a group of people you get to
know really well. You're surrounded by people all
the time and I love that about going to church every week and
singing in the choir. I don't know if I mean she still
does or if that was about her past, but.
I also have a guilty conscience, I think.
Me too to that okay. That's where we're going to stop
for now. For Kerry Mulligan and Marcus
Mumford. He was born January 31st, 1987.
So he's two years younger than Kerry Mulligan and he is an
Aquarius of that what you will, people.
He was born in Yorba Linda, CA. What?
Oh, I thought he was British. He is British.
His English parents were living there.
So he's both a UK and a U.S. citizen.
Nice. Lucky he can live anywhere he
wants in those countries. His parents, John and Eleanor
Mumford, were international leaders of the Vineyard
churches. He is an older brother, James,
So his family also moved, you know, they moved to California
and then they moved back to the UK when Marcus was six months
old, OK? And he, I don't know why this is
public public knowledge, but he grew up on Chatsworth Ave. in
Wimbledon Chase, southwest London, and I looked that up on
Google Earth. That's the street.
And it's such a cute street. I wish I lived there.
I would seriously love to live on that street.
He was educated at King's College School, which is a
school for kids. 7 to 18 in Wimbledon.
And that's where he met the future band member of Marcus.
I mean future band member of Mumford and Sons, Ben Lovett.
All right, I will have to stop the episode right there.
