Suits star Rick Hoffman shares details on unrecognisable new look that sparked shock
Rick Hoffman left fans in shock after debuting his new look on social media.
The Suits actor, 56, snapped a mirror selfie last week and shared it with his 1.2 million followers on Instagram.
He captioned it "Been a min" accompanied by the hashtag 'circling back', and revealed the results of what sounds like some seriously hard work and dedication to improving his fitness.
Viewers of the show wanted to know how he did it, and filled the comment section for requests to know what his secret is as he looks a world away from his Suits character Louis Litt.

"May I ask your secret for weight loss? You look great!" asked one, and Hoffman gladly replied with his tips and tricks.
"What a transformation!" raved one fan, while another defended: "I'm sorry… why is anyone surprised?? This is Rick F’n Hoffman we’re talking about here!! When has he not had all that SWAG??"
Other fans compared Hoffman to his co-star Gabriel Macht, who portrayed Harvey Spector.
"The harveyfication of Louis needs to be taught at Harvard," joked one, as someone else agreed "Louis turning into Harvey!"
When one fan asked for his weight-loss secrets, Hoffman decided against gatekeeping.
“Intense intermittent fasting and keto diet,” he replied, before adding, “no alcohol.”
Where are the cast of Suits now?
Meghan Markle
The Rachel Zane star left Suits after announcing her engagement to Prince Harry in 2017.
After tying the knot the following year, the couple stepped away from royal duties and relocated across the pond to California, where they’re now raising their two children, Archie and Lilibet.
They’ve since been involved in philanthropy and production, launching the Archewell Foundation and Archewell Productions, and working with Netflix on the Harry & Meghan (2022) docuseries and With Love, Meghan (2025).
As well as founding her own brand, As Ever, Markle’s set to return to acting with a cameo as herself in comedy film Close Personal Friends, which is yet to be released.
Patrick J Adams
Adams has continued his onscreen work since his days playing college dropout-turned-unlicensed lawyer, Mike Ross on Suits. He departed the series at the same time as Markle after their characters got married and moved to Seattle, however, he later returned for some guest appearances.
Adams went on to star in the likes of Disney+'s The Right Stuff (2020), Netflix's Wayward (2025), and the BBC’s The Bombing of Pan Am 103 (2025). His latest project is the Paramount+ series The Madison.
The actor married Pretty Little Liars star Troian Bellisario in 2016 and they share three daughters together.
Gabriel Macht
After Suits ended in 2019, the Harvey Specter actor appeared to step away from the spotlight and moved to Europe with his family, where they live a private life. However, Macht later reprised the iconic role for the NBC spinoff series Suits: LA (2025).
Macht is also an executive shareholder and brand ambassador for Bear Fight Whiskey.
He has two children with his wife of over two decades, actress Jacinda Barrett.
