Jack Quaid has revealed that sharing the screen with Meghan Markle on his forthcoming film Close Personal Friends was “insane.”<\/p>\n

Speaking at The Boys season five premiere in Rome last Thursday, the actor discussed the production before highlighting his fellow cast members.<\/p>\n

\u201cYeah, no, it was insane,\u201d he said about working alongside the Duchess of Sussex, before pivoting to discussing the main cast.<\/p>\n

He continued to tell Entertainment Tonight: “The main cast of it is myself, Brie Larson, Henry Golding and Lily Collins, which is just an incredible group of people to be a part of.<\/p>\n

“And every day, we went to set, and we just tried our best to make each other laugh.”<\/p>\n

He characterised the project as more comedy-driven than a traditional romantic comedy, describing it as a story centred on two couples.<\/p>\n

The Duchess of Sussex will appear in the film as herself in a cameo role. She was first observed filming in Pasadena, California, back in November.<\/p>\n

According to a source, Meghan appeared “very relaxed and happy” during production. “She introduced herself to everyone and was very sweet and down-to-earth,” they noted.<\/p>\n

The project represents a significant milestone for the former actress, marking her return to the screen after an eight-year hiatus.<\/p>\n

She departed the legal drama Suits in 2018, the same year she wed Prince Harry.<\/p>\n

A studio insider described her involvement as “a massive moment” that “signifies a return to doing what she truly loves.”<\/p>\n

Following their marriage, the couple relocated to Santa Barbara in 2020 after stepping away from royal duties, and have since become parents to Prince Archie, now six, and Princess Lilibet.<\/p>\n

The Duke and Duchess secured a lucrative multi-million-pound deal with Netflix that same year through their production company, Archewell Productions.<\/p>\n

Their output has included the documentary series Harry & Meghan in 2022 and Meghan’s lifestyle programme With Love, Meghan earlier this year.<\/p>\n

However, Netflix chose not to extend their contract last year, with reports suggesting the decision reflected shifting priorities at the streaming giant.<\/p>\n

The company also ended its partnership with Meghan’s lifestyle brand, As ever, earlier this month.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jack Quaid has revealed that sharing the screen with Meghan Markle on his forthcoming film Close Personal Friends…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":401303,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[268],"tags":[434,18,117,19,17,5091,21827,63657],"class_list":{"0":"post-401302","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-celebrities","8":"tag-celebrities","9":"tag-eire","10":"tag-entertainment","11":"tag-ie","12":"tag-ireland","13":"tag-meghan-markle","14":"tag-royal","15":"tag-sgg"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@ie\/116284065406956892","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/401302","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=401302"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/401302\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/401303"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=401302"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=401302"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=401302"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
