Hollywood actor John Goodman shows off 90kg weight loss
The beloved Roseanne star has undergone a dramatic body transformation in recent years after kicking booze and junk food.
John Goodman flaunted his slim physique while walking the red carpet for the premiere of Tubi’s “The Freak Brothers” in West Hollywood on Monday.
The “Roseanne” star showed off his 90kg weight loss in a pair of jeans, orange V-neck sweater and a sports coat, at one point happily posing for photos with co-stars Pete Davidson and Blake Anderson, the New York Post reports.
Goodman, 69, began his transformation in 2007. He continued to yo-yo until he decided to totally overhaul his lifestyle when he began to hover around 180kg.
“In the old days, I would take three months out, lose 25 or 30kg, and then reward myself with a six-pack or whatever and just go back to my old habits,” he told ABC in 2017.
“This time, I wanted to do it slowly. Move, exercise. I’m getting to the age where I can’t afford to sit still anymore.”
“The Flintstones” star ditched alcohol entirely and hired personal trainer Mackie Shilstone to help him live differently.
“It takes a lot of creative energy to sit on your ass and figure out what you’re going to eat next,” Goodman told People magazine in 2010. “I wanted to live life better.”
The “Roseanne” alum adopted a Mediterranean-style diet — meals that focus on fish, olive oil, vegetables, nuts and fruit — and upped his fitness, making sure to take 10,000 to 12,000 steps a day.
“This didn’t happen overnight — it’s been an ongoing process,” Shilstone said of Goodman’s progress.
Goodman first debuted his weight loss at the “Trumbo” premiere in 2015.
“It was basically just portion control and ‘I don’t need it,’” he told AARP in 2018. “I was just shoving everything into my mouth.”
