What TV shows has Chris Taylor been in?
Chris made his second appearance on Love Island for the first ever All Stars edition at the start of 2024, but he has also starred in a blockbuster film.
In 2023 he played as a Ken in Greta Gerwig's Barbie. He told Capital that it all happened after he met Margot Robbie at an afterparty and they got chatting.
"I woke up the next day like, ‘Was that real?’ And then maybe two years down the line I get an email from Warner Bros saying, ‘Do you want to audition for this role in the new Barbie film?’" Chris explained.
"I fully thought it was a prank, they were like, ‘Can you send a self-tape?’ I thought there’s no harm in sending a self tape."
Margot, who starred as Barbie, is a self-professed Love Island fan so perhaps she is keeping tabs on Chris in All Stars right now.
