Meghan Markle’s Brief Russell Brand Movie Kiss Returns to the Spotlight

A fleeting scene from Meghan Markle’s pre-royal acting career has resurfaced: in the 2010 comedy Get Him to the Greek, she appeared briefly as a partygoer and shared a scripted kiss with Russell Brand’s character. The moment is drawing fresh attention as coverage revisits Brand’s criminal conviction for rape and sexual assault. Before her breakout role as Rachel Zane on Suits and her marriage to Prince Harry, Markle had a small, uncredited part in the film, according to The Express. The comedy stars Jonah Hill as a record-company employee tasked with escorting Brand’s unpredictable rock-star character, Aldous Snow, from London to Los Angeles. Markle’s appearance comes during a party sequence and lasts only briefly. Brand recalled the scene during a May 2018 appearance on ITV’s Loose Women, shortly before Markle’s wedding. Asked about the connection, he said he thought he had kissed her in the movie but admitted he did not remember filming it clearly. He also stressed that the kiss was written into the scene, rather than an off-camera encounter. Brand said he had not paid much attention to Markle at the time, before her relationship with Harry made her internationally famous. He explained that seeing a clip helped bring the moment back to mind. The interview took place days before the couple married at Windsor Castle on May 19, 2018. The comedian joked that the brief movie connection could be mentioned during the royal wedding ceremony, imagining someone interrupting to announce that he had kissed the bride on screen. The old anecdote is now being revisited alongside the scene itself, a minor credit from Markle’s Hollywood years that gained a very different profile after she joined the royal family.
