Although fans were focused on his appearance this week, Hoffman previously made headlines for sharing stories about his time working with Meghan Markle.
During an appearance on the Today show ahead of Markle's royal wedding in 2018, Hoffman revealed that he learned about her relationship with Prince Harry before much of the public did.
“I had gotten the news early, and I was like, 'You got to be kidding me,'” Hoffman recalled.
He said he was shocked when Markle told him she was dating a prince.

“You're dating a prince?” he remembered asking.
Like any protective friend, Hofman also offered some advice.
“Well, take it slow. Be careful. Don't let him hurt you,” he told her.
Markle eventually left Suits after seven seasons following her engagement to Harry, and the series continued for two more seasons before ending in 2019.
