Hoffman admitted his co-star was right about the cameras

Although Hoffman didn’t know exactly what the source of the stink was at the wedding, he thought it could have been the bad breath of the other wedding guests. In the same podcast interview with “Chicks in the Office,” the actor in the legal drama admitted that he was sensitive to smell and hygiene. To try and block the offensive scents, Hoffman put his hand to his face and sniffed the lotion he was wearing. 

After having to sit still for an hour and a half, it got to him. Even worse, nobody else could smell the same terrible smell as he could. The mystery odor is what caused Hoffman to make a face at the royal wedding and led him to admit that his colleague Sarah was right about the cameras possibly catching a less-than-ideal moment.

Although Hoffman shared an Instagram video back in 2018 when the incident originally occurred, outlets like the BBC shared quotes from the video like “Hence the face that’s apparently all over the place.”

A lot of people felt that the supposed face was an in-character choice for Rick Hoffman’s on-screen character, with one Twitter user calling it “The most Louis Litt picture ever from the Royal Wedding.”
