Meghan Markle once had a ‘connection’ with Katy Perry’s infamous ex-husband.
Before achieving global fame with the TV series Suits , Meghan Markle had a small, uncredited role in the 2010 comedy Get Him to the Greek , which also starred Russell Brand and Jonah Hill.
Meghan Markle has previously collaborated with Russell Brand on screen.
In the film, Meghan Markle plays Tatiana, a party girl who makes a brief appearance alongside Aldous Snow, the eccentric rock star played by Russell Brand. The film centers around Aaron Green (Jonah Hill), a record label employee tasked with bringing Aldous Snow from London to Los Angeles for the singer’s comeback concert.

In a party scene, Meghan Markle’s character has a kissing scene with Aldous Snow. This was just a brief role, taking place years before she became widely known for her role as Rachel Zane in Suits and her entry into the British Royal Family. The scene might have gone unmentioned if Russell Brand hadn’t proactively recounted the story on a television program, just days before Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s wedding.
In May 2018, Russell Brand appeared on ITV’s Loose Women . When asked about his unexpected connection to Prince Harry ‘s fiancée , the actor confirmed he had kissed Meghan Markle while filming, but admitted he barely remembered the incident. “I don’t remember the movie very well. I think I kissed her in one scene,” Russell Brand shared.
Russell Brand faces jail time following a series of sexual assault allegations.
On November 5, 2026, Russell Brand was convicted by a jury at Southwark Crown Court in London (England) of one count of rape and three counts of sexual assault after a four-week trial.

According to the Metropolitan Police, the crimes involved four women and occurred between 2004 and 2009, when Russell Brand was building his career in the entertainment industry. The actor was acquitted of two other rape charges and one charge of intentional indecent assault. Previously, the 51-year-old denied all charges. Following the verdict, Chief Investigator Andy Furphy stated that Russell Brand had exploited his influence and fame to sexually assault women. The judge warned the actor could face a significant prison sentence and ordered his temporary detention pending sentencing.
Meanwhile, prior to her breakthrough with Suits , Meghan Markle had participated in several television and film projects with small roles. She made her screen debut with a supporting role in the television series General Hospital in 2002, and later appeared in series such as CSI: NY , 90210 , and Without a Trace .
On the big screen, Meghan Markle has appeared in Remember Me and Horrible Bosses . In 2011, she played Rachel Zane in the legal drama series Suits , which is considered the most prominent role of her acting career. Meghan Markle stayed with the series until 2018 before leaving Hollywood to prepare for her marriage to Prince Harry.
