TREVOR ENGELSON,

discarded first husband of Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, is to make a film about stoner comedians Cheech and Chong.

The early days and rise to fame of Cheech Marin and Tommy Chong, left — who brought cannabis into the mainstream in the 1970s — will be depicted in the film, which is being made with the cooperation of its subjects. Engelson comments: ‘ Working with Cheech and Chong is a childhood dream of mine. I used to listen to my father’s copies of their albums growing up.’

Meghan’s father Thomas Markle once claimed that at Trevor’s wedding to his daughter in Jamaica in 2011, guests were given a small bag of cannabis as a party favour.
