One of Meghan Markle’s former Suits co-stars may have hinted at her possible return to Hollywood, despite her apparently putting her acting career behind her when she became a royal.
Patrick J. Adams was interviewed by E! on the Golden Globes red carpet, as he played the lead Michael Ross in the Netflix legal drama with Meghan starring opposite him as his colleague and love interest Rachel Zane.
While he stopped short of giving a direct answer to the question of whether he would work with the Duchess again, he said the industry would be “lucky to have her” back.
He said: “I think Megan’s a fantastic actor, so we’d be lucky to have her back in the industry. Sure.”
When pushed he tellingly added: “Yes. I’m ready, let’s go…Mike and Rachel in Seattle”, suggesting a possible plot point if Meghan did decide to make a comeback.
The series has received a boost after its Netflix reincarnation, with Meghan and Prince Harry’s celebrity pushing it back towards the top of the charts.
Patrick said he was “honoured” that the show remains so popular, saying: “I’m totally astounded that it’s found a second life. I feel honoured.
“You know, when you walk away from a show, you think that’s it and then you’re going to move on to something else. And just to know that a whole new generation of people are finding it and loving it – loving it almost more than they loved it the first time around – [is] incredible.”
An interviewer asked Gina on the red carpet: “Who texted Meghan and said ‘you’ve gotta come to the Golden Globes, Meghan Markle’?”
The actress replied: “We don’t have her number. We just don’t so. She’ll see. She’ll watch. She’ll be happy that we’re here”, suggesting there is no bad blood between the former co-stars.
Many Suits actors, including Gina, Patrick, Gabriel Macht, Sarah Rafferty and Rick Hoffman, attended Meghan and Prince Harry’s wedding in Windsor on May 19 2018.
