Mandy Patinkin tries out a new look.
In a video the Tony-winning actor shared on Instagram on Tuesday, he wears an unusually skimpy outfit, consisting of a Ricky Martin tank top, shorts, black Ugg boots and a backwards red baseball cap, while lounging outside.
“It’s always important to explore and expand your fashion,” he says Country star began the post’s title.
Patinkin went on to explain that his yoga teacher lent him the sharp kit.
“Our favorite yoga instructor and magnificent human being @benjaminflowersyoga was kind enough to lend me one of his favorite outfits and I felt amazing,” he wrote. “If you’re into yoga and want to go deeper or want to start for the first time, I can’t recommend Benji enough!”
In the video, Patinkin stated, “I have great legs, my father’s legs. I’ve always had them, but I don’t get to show them off. So this is a way to honor my father.”
The saucy video drew plenty of comments, and Patinkin responded to a few.
“I don’t want to see Saul Berenson like this!” one person wrote, referring to Patinkin’s no-nonsense character on Showtime Country.

“This is what Saul wore on the weekends,” the actor replied.
Another person complained about Patinkin’s habit of opening and closing kitchen tools while speaking.
“But why do we all have to do it with pliers?” read the comment. “They become the adult version of fidget spinners!”

Despite being an accomplished dramatic actor, Patinkin has already proven that he’s not afraid to show his wackier side.

Before they started dancing, Patinkin stopped the music to share a message with his followers.
“I want to thank all the young people who welcomed Kathryn and I to TikTok,” he said. “Listen, if you’re too young to vote, you can still help by getting your parents, your grandparents, your uncles, your aunts, your friends, anybody who’s old enough to vote, to vote.”

“If you are voting for the first time, please make sure you are properly registered or your vote will not be counted,” he said. “I got to get Biden and Harris to the White House. Blue up and down the ballot, good luck to you. That makes a difference.”
He then completed the dance challenge with his playful take on twerking.
“TikToker might be the hardest job I’ve ever had!” he captioned the video.
