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 weeks episode of the Smartless podcast that she didnt 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 didnt [hook up] but I wrote in my diary that he was the nicest, the kindest person Id ever met, and I gave him 9 1/2 out of 10.

But I also wrote in my diary that he definitely wasnt boyfriend material, she added. I mean, not that Id 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.

Then the internet happened and we God, the internet happened and we started [reconnecting], she said. We were both on Facebook for like six months so we touched base there briefly. Then we met again when I was like 24.
