Love Island’s Chris Taylor made surprise cameo in Barbie film with ‘super fan’ Margot Robbie

Love Island star Chris Taylor may have just returned to screens for the new All Stars spin-off, but it turns out this isn't all he's been up to recently.

Chris, 33, starred in the reality series back in 2019, entering the villa on day 39 to be coupled with Maura - who he would later go on to briefly date.

He later coupled up with Harley, only to be dumped on the 52nd day – although by that time he’d become a surprise favourite among fans.

Chris has now returned to his Love Island roots in the new All Stars spin-off, having been paired up with Demi – and even landing a three-way snog with Molly:

When asked why he was heading back to the villa, he said: "Last time I was only there for 15 days, so I want to do it and enjoy it all again.

"I am 33 now and getting on a bit - I am getting ear hair! It would be nice to have a girl to keep my ears trimmed for me! It would be good to find a girl who I can co-parent my dog with."

But Chris has had an even bigger recent gig, having landed a cameo role in last year’s Barbie movie, directed by Greta Gerwig and starring none other than Margot Robbie – who, it transpires, is a HUGE Love Island fan.

The Islander appears mid-way through the film as – you've guessed it – one of the Kens, having been given the line: “And the Nobel prize for horses goes to Ken!”

Warner Bros

Chris previously explained how he’d managed to bag the role after a conversation with Robbie about someone’s ‘micropenis’.

He told OK Magazine: "So I basically went down the route of telling her about my mate who’s got a micropenis."

Chris went on: "So I informed her of that, and we had a little chat about micropenises, which was lovely and quite funny.

"And then I went on to tell her about my dad’s mate whose balls are so big, he can carry 12 bottles of Budweiser on his ball sack like a tray."

Chris was then invited to audition for Barbie by Warner Bros, adding that he reckons it all came about because of Robbie.

"I'm fairly certain that's how it went down, but the only confirmation I've really got is that her husband Tom Ackerley said to me at the premiere that Margot was like: 'We have to get Chris in this film’,” he said.
