John Goodman is showing his weight loss of 200 pounds.
The former “Conners” star, 73, caught the attention when he walked on the red carpet at the Los Angeles premiere of the movie “Smurfs” on Sunday.
Goodman, who expresses Papa Pituff in the animated film, wore a navy blue suit, white shirt, black tie and brown shoes while smiling for photographers.
The appearance of Goodman in the event occurs four months after suffering a hip injury in the United Kingdom during the production of an upcoming film directed by Oscar winner Alejandro González Iñárritu, Deadline reported in March.
According to the reports, the Emmy winner received medical attention and was scheduled to start shooting the following week again.
Goodman’s slow and constant weight loss has happened for many years. According to a 2023 interview with Rolling Stone, the actor has lost more than 200 pounds.
The actor told People in 2010 that he had lost the first 100 pounds after deciding that he wanted to be a more active person.
“I know it sounds cheesy, but it was a waste,” he said. “You need a lot of creative energy to sit on your A, and discover what you are going to eat next … I wanted to live life better.”
Goodman told the publication that he had been working six days a week and that he had also eliminated the sugar from his diet.
“I’m sweating, but I’m not crazy,” he said.
In 2018, Goodman told AARP that he had trained to consume less food when he ate. “It was basically just portion control, and ‘I don’t need it,” he said. “I was putting everything in my mouth.”
He added that he did not feel comfortable with his weight loss due to the risk of him recovering the weight.
“I don’t want to be an example for anyone when the weight returns when marking, when I start eating crisco out of the can with a spoon and one side of the sugar of the confectioner,” he joked.
In June 2023, Goodman told Rolling Stone that his exercise routine at that time consisted of “leaving and walking to dogs.”
The busy actor said that he had become “lazy” from the Covid pandemic and that he had not spent much time since he wanted to exercise.
Goodman added that boxing was one of its favorite sweaty ways.
“I never made myself good enough where I would trust myself because once they hit me on my face, I don’t know if I wouldn’t lose it,” he added.
