Meghan Markle sparks ‘growing skepticism’ over rumored acting comeback announcement, per source
News that Meghan Markle is getting a role in the popular series “The Gentlemen” is reportedly a “PR stunt,” according to a source. Markle is best known for her role as Rachel Zane in the series “Suits.” She has allegedly been wanting to make an acting comeback. Amid this, reports started circulating that she may have bagged a role in “The Gentlemen” on Netflix.
However, the reports were dismissed by several cast members during the London premiere of “The Gentlemen” Season 2, as per a report by Radar Online. An insider from the entertainment industry said, “There is growing skepticism about where this story actually came from.” They added that every actor associated with the production said they knew nothing about Markle joining the series.
Hence, it remains a wonder how her name became attached to the show. According to the insider, it is seemingly a “PR stunt” created by Markle’s team to generate publicity around her as she returns to Britain. Actor Vinnie Jones also shared his views on the matter. He said, “I think it’s hot air. We’ve got a lot of pretty women in this series, so I’m not sure there’s room for any more.”
Meanwhile, Theo James said that he believes it is a “spurious rumor.” He added that he believed Markle would fit in well because she is from the royal family. However, he also noted that the “practicalities of that are impossible.” Similarly, various other notable stars from the series dismissed the claims. This made it unclear whether the news of Markle returning to acting with the series was actually true or simply a rumor.
