Billy Eichner, who stars in the live-action remake of The Lion King, recently got to meet his former Northwestern University classmate, Meghan Markle , at the London premiere of the film last week.

In an interview with NBCs Today with Hoda & Jenna, on Tuesday, Eichner said that he and the Duchess of Sussex spoke about their shared alma mater when they met and even discussed their old acting teachers in school.

Meghan and I both went to college together. We were both theatre majors at Northwestern. We didnt know each other when we were there, but we were there at the same time, the Billy on the Street star said.
