John Goodman: 'Still getting used to my face'
2 Nov
Summary
- Goodman lost nearly 200 pounds, a significant transformation.
- He admits his new appearance is 'weird' but also 'fun'.
- Goodman believes his weight may have limited past career opportunities.
Actor John Goodman, who has lost approximately 200 pounds, is finding his significantly slimmer physique a surprising adjustment. He described his transformed appearance as "weird" and "fun," noting that he is still getting accustomed to looking at his own face. Goodman recently shared these insights on the Happy Sad Confused podcast.
Weighing nearly 400 pounds at his heaviest, Goodman confessed that his previous weight might have hindered career opportunities, possibly due to self-sabotage. He recalled being in good shape upon arriving in New York in the late 1970s but later struggled with his weight. Despite this, he has maintained a robust acting career.
Goodman, who achieved sobriety in 2007, is now focusing on his well-being at his home in Charleston, South Carolina. He has been working with a trainer to build core strength and balance after fracturing his hip last year on the set of 'Digger.' He aims to relax more during performances, believing his best work occurs when he is not overworking himself.
