Suits' Louis Litt star is utterly unrecognisable after major transformation

Suits fans were forced to do a double-take after one of the show's stars revealed their brand-new look years after the series ended. The popular legal drama starred the likes of Meghan Markle as Rachel Zane, Gabriel Macht as Harvey Spectre, and Patrick J. Adams as Michael Ross. Now, Rick Hoffman, who portrayed Louis Litt on the US drama, has revealed the results of his recent weight loss journey, leaving fans wowed by his new physique.

Taking to Instagram, the actor shared a mirror selfie, which he simply captioned: "Been a min #circlingback." Fans soon flooded the comments to praise him for his major makeover, which is miles away from his character on Suits.

One user asked: "May I ask your secret for weight loss? You look great!" which prompted the actor to offer his advice online. He replied: "Intense intermittent fasting and keto diet. No alcohol."

Another agreed: "What a transformation. I didn't know intermittent fasting could grow hair." A third chimed in with: "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??"

His former Suits co-star Sarah Rafferty, who played Donna Paulsen, also showed her support in the comments, leaving a series of praise and heart emojis in the comments. Meanwhile, others were quick to draw a comparison between the TV star and the dashing lead character of the show, Harvey Spectre.

One gushed: "The Harveyfication of Louis needs to be taught as Harvard", as another agreed: "Louis turning into Harvey!" Hoffman previously made headlines when he revealed he had warned Meghan Markle about her now-husband when they first started dating.

Speaking on the Today show ahead of their royal wedding in 2018, he recalled: "I had gotten the news early, and I was like, 'You've got to be kidding me'. And it was like, both of us in the trailer like, 'Oh my. You're going - you're dating a prince?"

Attempting to give her some advice, he told the Duchess of Sussex: "I was just like, 'Well, take it slow. Be careful. Don't let him hurt you'." Markle eventually left the show due to her blossoming relationship with the royal, with the series lasting for two more years before concluding in 2019.

Other members of the cast revealed that they didn't stay in touch after, and Markle didn't take part in the cast reunion years later. Co-star Gina Torres said the rest of the cast still had a group chat, adding: "We don't have her number. We just don't. She'll see, she'll watch. She'll be happy that we're here."
