Before becoming the Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle was known for her role in the highly acclaimed legal drama Suits, alongside Patrick J. Adams. The Suits star reveals the travel hack that Markle taught him, which left a lasting impression and became part of his travel routine.
Speaking with PEOPLE about Markle’s Netflix series, With Love, Meghan, Adams gives her credit for thinking of neat tricks no one else would. He says Markle has “tricks of the trade, and things that she’s amazing at doing that most of us wouldn’t think about doing.”
As an actor, Adams is used to traveling, but admits his Suits co-star gave him the ultimate travel hack that’s better than just chucking everything into a bag and heading to the airport. Not only did Markle teach him the proper way to back his belongings, but a common household item to add in between.
“You could imagine Meghan would be like, ‘You pack a bag by folding it perfectly and putting [dryer sheets],'” said Adams.
Using dryer sheets to keep his clothes smelling fresh was something the actor never thought of, but he found it “genius.”
Adams and Markle starred as love interests Mike Ross and Rachel Zane in the USA Network series. They played their respective characters since its inception in 2011, before their characters were written off in Season 7 after their wedding and moving to Seattle. Adams later made a guest appearance in Season 9 of Suits.
With Suits having had a major resurgence thanks to its release on Netflix, Adams is open to returning to the series with the original cast.
“I always feel like with these things, if the demand is there and ultimately the script and the story are of interest, and it makes sense, then I think anything is possible,” he said.
