I really needed the money,” the actor recalled.

“But I’ll be on food stamps before I do that.”

Representatives for Rex and Markle didn’t immediately respond to EW’s request for comment Friday.

Rex however reiterated the account on Twitter, writing, “This is true.

And I framed the thank you letter she wrote me.

She has very nice penmanship, btw.”
