Farnham Town footballer Harry Cooksley, 30, was delighted to recall an encounter on an airplane with a very famous movie star.
He admitted on camera: "The incredible Margot Robbie.
"And I'll tell you exactly why, I sat next to her on a flight, we chatted the entire way."
He added: "And I actually thought I had a chance with her."
Margot, 34, is best known for her huge roles as Harley Quinn in the Suicide Squad movies.
She also starred alongside Brad Pitt in films such as Once Upon A Time in Hollywood and Babylon.
This was after she had her mainstream breakthrough for her role in Martin Scorsese's The Wolf of Wall Street alongside Leonardo DiCaprio.
The Barbie actress is also well known to be a superfan of the long-running ITV reality series.
For her 31st birthday she celebrated with her nearest and dearest with a Love Island themed party.
She has also met various former contestants including Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu and Davide Sanclimenti.

The Oscar nominee also previously invited Maura Higgins out for a boozy lunch.
They both did shots together after they ordered a whole bottle of Margot's own gin, Papa Salt Coastal gin to the table.
In 2020, Chris Taylor met the superstar actress at the afterparty of Birds of Prey which led to him getting a cameo in Barbie as a human Ken doll.
The reality personality previously told Cosmopolitan: "She's just really down to earth and cool. She's one of the nicest people I've ever met."

Love Island's Jacques O'Neill posts snap from hospital amid worrying 'setback'
Jacques O'Neill has opened up from a hospital bed and said he found himself in a 'dark place' after Love Island but that 'every setback' has taught him 'something valuable' Gemma Owen's ex Jacques O'Neill has opened up about his dream of being back in the rugby league while he was sitting in a hospital bed, three years after he followed Gemma into the Love Island villa. Jacques told his followers that, after going on Love Island, he found himself in a 'dark place' but that 'every setback' has taught him 'something valuable'. Jacques shared a photo of himself from the hospital bed with a smile on his face and his thumb up. He reflected on his life in a lengthy caption, as he wrote: "Operation done.. Just as I was starting to get my confidence back and enjoy rugby league again, it's taken away, but that's life." The former Love Island star admitted that he has been 'stupidly' chasing a life that wasn't the right fit for him, but that he is getting back on track. Jacques said: "Four years I stupidly had out the game, being an idiot chasing a life that wasn't for me. The result of that was that I ended up in a pretty dark place and losing myself.' The 26-year-old continued: "I was putting off returning to play because of the comments from others saying I had no chance to play again, saying \he's had too long out' etc, comments about where I was at mentally & physically. "The truth is, I doubted myself too. At first I didn't think I would have ever been able to play again the state I got myself in to. "I remember the first couple of months back driving home from training questioning myself if I still had it in me or not but as soon as I got a good team behind me, got rid of all distractions my mindset started to change.' He continued: "Even though my first season back hasn't gone to plan, I'm grateful for the life lessons I've had the last few years. Every setback has taught me something valuable. It's built me up. Not just as a player, but as a person. I'll be back hungrier than ever." Although Jacques entered the villa after his ex-girlfriend Gemma Owen, the pair had no desire to rekindle their romance, and Jacques coupled up with Paige Thorne. Jacques then decided to call it quits on the villa life after Paige started getting to know bombshell Adam Collard. It was an emotional goodbye, and the islanders were sad to see him go, even Luca Bish, who was coupled up with Gemma at the time. Jacques, who boasts 1.1 million followers on Instagram, regularly keeps his followers up to date on what he is up to, including going on holiday, nights out and workouts.

Gogglebox's Mary Killen admits she's addicted to vaping
Gogglebox fan favourite Mary Killen has revealed that she's become 'addicted' to vaping in her 60s, despite having never smoked a cigarette - as she reveals her plans to quit Googlebox fan favourite Mary Killen has revealed she's become addicted to vaping, despite never having smoked cigarettes. The star rose to fame in 2015 on Channel 4's Gogglebox as she and her husband Giles have the nation in hysterics every week as they sit down to watch the latest TV shows. Despite knowing the ins and outs on their thoughts on the latest episode of Love Island, fans aren't privvy to much of the Gogglebox stars' personal life. However, Mary has now opened up about an addiction she just can't shift - vaping. Mary, who says she was never interested in cigarettes, revealed that she picked the habit up two years ago, when her friends son, James, 22, offered her a puff of his Juul. "I loved inhaling the odourless air and blowing it out again. It just looked so chic and felt cooling in the palm of the hand," Mary wrote in her column for MailOnline. James allowed Mary to keep the vape, and she later found herself buying replacement pods when it ran out. "I reasoned that it would be good if I were to appear to have at least one addiction. "I would be 'levelling myself down', so to speak, in a way that could make me more socially acceptable in drinking circles," she wrote. However, her habit doesn't come cheap, as she explained in her column that she "wastes about £14 a week on four Juul replacement pods." She then questioned how to break the expensive habit, which she also admits self-pitying and argumentative when she runs out. Mary admitted she'd "probably kill or be killed by my family members," if she tried to go cold turkey - revealing that she was going to sign up to a course to help people quit vaping. It's not the only revelation Mary has made in her column. Recently, she told viewers about her controversial sleeping arrangements, telling fans she and Giles allowed the dogs on the bed. Mary and Giles met when they were both 21 years old while Giles was studying at Wimbledon Art School and Mary was working as a model. The pair have been blissfully married for over 30 years, most of which time they have spent living at their cottage in Wiltshire. The stars share two grownup children who prefer to stay out of the limelight. However, it was actually one of Giles' daughters that were originally due to appear on the show with her dad before she backed out at the last minute. After a lengthy phone call to producers, Giles managed to convince Mary to join the show - and the two have become fan favourites ever since their arrival. Little more is known about Mary and Giles' daughters however it has been revealed that they are both grown and no longer live at home with their parents.
