Royal wedding 2018: The reason for Rick Hoffman's 'weird' face

Rick Hoffman

Suits actor Rick Hoffman appeared to look pretty unimpressed during Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's wedding.

And for fans of the US legal drama it was the perfect reason to take a screenshot and turn it into a meme.

Rick, who plays Louis Litt in the show, has since posted a video explaining why he was pulling the "weird" face while sat in St George's Chapel.

It turns out it was because he was sitting next to someone who had bad breath.

In the video posted on Instagram, he said: "To answer any questions about the weird face that was made at the wedding.

"Imagine sitting next to people to your right and not knowing which person it was that has halitosis.

"Hence the face that's apparently all over the place."
