Patrick J. Adams Reflects on His Onscreen Chemistry with Meghan Markle During Their 'Suits' Auditions
Meghan Markle’s former co-star, Patrick J. Adams, has opened up about his onscreen chemistry with the Duchess of Sussex, subtly teasing the Duke of Sussex with his glowing remarks. During a recent episode of his 'Suits' rewatch podcast, Adams, who portrayed Mike Ross on the hit legal drama, praised the Duchess, reminiscing about their connection while auditioning for the show.
Adams shared that they had worked together on a failed pilot before 'Suits,' and when they reunited for a chemistry read, their previous collaboration helped ease any nerves. "It was pretty clear she was going to get the part from the minute we did the read," he noted, praising Meghan’s effortless performance.
The actor revealed fresh insights into the casting process that led to Meghan's breakthrough role as Rachel Zane, highlighting the close bond they developed on set. Adams, now hosting a podcast alongside Sarah Rafferty, said Meghan’s talent made their scenes together seamless, adding that she "crushed it" in the role that eventually led her to retire from acting before marrying the Duke of Sussex.
