Marcus Mumford

The collaboration between Marcus Mumford and Tom Howe on the theme song and score for Ted Lasso began when star Jason Sudeikis left Mumford “the world’s longest voice note” — something Sudeikis apparently is famous for doing. He asked his good friend (and lead vocalist of Mumford & Sons) whether he’d be interested in teaming with composer Howe to create the music for Apple TV+’s heartfelt soccer comedy. “Thankfully Tom’s become one of my grown-up friends who can actually read music,” says Mumford. “He’s a real musician.” Mumford and Howe spoke to THR about how they came up with Lasso‘s unique sound.

“The message of the show is that the hope is what keeps you going,” reflects Tom Howe about “Ted Lasso.” His musical partner on the series Marcus Mumford continues, “We really leaned into the idea of organic instrumentation and recording everything for real. Comedy shows on TV tend to have a lot of synthetic instruments. We were determined to make it organic. Kind of like an album.” Watch our exclusive video interview above with the two composers.

When Marcus Mumford got the call to pen his first TV score with Ted Lasso, he didn’t answer — at least, not immediately. The Grammy award winner, known as the lead singer of the chart-topping folk rock band Mumford and Sons, was first approached for the project by a friend. “Jason Sudeikis left me one of his infamously long and rambling voice messages. He’s unbelievable at that,” he jokes. “It was on my U.S. phone, which I turn off when I get home [to the UK]. So, I ignored it for three months, accidentally.”

Carey, who's nominated for best actress for her role in Promising Young Woman, looked like an actual Oscar in a Disney-esque gold ballgown, while Marcus let his wife shine in a classic black tux. The outing marks a rare red carpet sighting for the low-key couple, who, in case you forgot, have been married for nearly a decade.

The Oscars are for lovers! Celebrity couples shined bright on the 93rd annual Academy Awards red carpet on Sunday, April 25. As stars arrived at the 2021 Oscars, all eyes were on some of Hollywood’s hottest duos, including Carey Mulligan and Marcus Mumford. The Promising Young Woman star, 35, who is nominated for Best Actress in a Leading Role, resembled the iconic Oscars trophy wearing a gold Valentino Haute Couture top and skirt, Cartier jewelry and Chanel makeup. She beamed brighter, however, when her musician husband, 34, stood by her side for photos during the pre-show. Earlier this month, the duo gave fans an inside look into their romance when Mulligan hosted Saturday Night Live. During her monologue, Mumford showed up in the audience and joked about leaving their daughter and son at home with his band. “Hello, lovely to see you. Where are the kids?” Mulligan said, surprised by his cameo. “I left them with the Sons. Couldn’t miss this for the world,” her husband replied, telling her she was going to “smash it” and be “amazing” as the host. Elsewhere on Sunday, Best Actor in a Leading Role nominee Riz Ahmed packed on the PDA with his wife, Fatima Farheen Mirza, before taking in the awards show. The Sound of Metal star, 38, couldn’t help but smile as he stared at his love. Chloé Zhao posed alongside her boyfriend, Joshua James Richards, before taking their seats in Los Angeles. This year, Zhao, 39, made history as the first woman of Asian descent and the first woman of color to be nominated for Best Directing for her film Nomadland. Her man, however, is equally as talented, earning his own nomination for Best Cinematography for the couple’s joint film. Richards gushed about his longtime love ahead of the show, telling Vanity Fair in November 2020, “Chloé has an enormous capacity for people and their stories.” The couple, who met as New York University film students in 2012, have collaborated for years. “She has a way of making your story feel important and special,” he added.
