Meghan Markle Plays the Joke on New York’s Brightest Actor
In a quirky twist of fate, Meghan Markle and Patrick J. Adams—once the on‑screen power couple from Suits—ran into each other in the most unexpected setting: a group‑of‑naked‑men Broadway show.
Back in 2011
During a Los Angeles run of Bill Cain’s 9 Circles, Patrick performed the dramatized version of a male labor dancer that required him to be 100% shirtless. Meghan, then a busy planner who’d already dipped into the world of legal drama on TV, snuck into the audience for an extra dose of drama‑fuel.
When asked about the experience at an entertainment interview, Patrick chuckled, “Meghan was there and she couldn’t resist cracking a joke about my bare‑back performance.” He added that she seemed to enjoy a little “nam‑nim‑nim” at the expense of his modesty.
“She might as well bring a ticket to the next time I’m on stage—she’s got a good laugh in her pocket,” he said.
Ready for a Second Naked Blast?
Patrick is slated to hit Broadway again next month in Richard Greenberg’s Take Me Out, a play that involves a stunt where the lead has to go completely nude. The show’s long‑awaited revival has finally topped the gates after a pandemic pause.
When the question of a “guest pass” for old‑movie stars came up, the Canadian native admitted he’s ready to invite the Duchess of Sussex for the curtain‑rise. “I will definitely push her an invite—she’s a fan of my work, so there’s a good chance she’ll say yes.”
From TV to Absolutely Legal Reality
Remember how Rachel Zane (Meghan’s character) and Mike Ross (Patrick’s character) turned a co‑worker dynamic into a heartbreaking love story? Their on‑screen romance sparked city‑wide emoji revolutions and ended with a kiss‑kiss on curtain call. The dynamic duo even built a legal empire in Seattle after Meghan had to exit the show for real‑life reasons.
Now a decade later, the two are being reunited by chance in a theatre where the only crook is the clatter of the curtain.
The Bottom Line
- Meghan once threw a playful jab at Patrick.
- Patrick’s next Broadway venture will once again strip the stage, literally.
- Both are open to throwing a “back‑stage invite” to the other for future sits.
That’s the story: from courtroom drama to a naked ballet recital, and austen, oh, a bashful, amused moment that keeps the Emmy potential alive for: the duo never stops being a force to be seen—on screen and on stage.

Playdate Politics – Who’s Got the Kids?
When asked if he’d organize a fun day for Meghan’s little ones, Patrick left it to the Duchess. “I leave that in Meghan’s court,” he chuckled. “She’s incredibly busy, so hopefully time will allow.” He added, “It’s pretty great.”
The Family Tree
- Patrick & Troian: Married in 2016, they’ve welcomed two sweet girls: Aurora (3) and Elliot (just 9 months).
