Goodman, now 72, reportedly dropped over 200 pounds by 2023, and it’s clear from this recent clip that he has maintained it. Fans couldn’t hide their shock. One said, “Damn, John looks amazing!” while another joked, “Where’s the rest of you, John?” Some were stunned by how different he looks now. “Unrecognizable with his weight loss!” one fan wrote, wondering about his new lifestyle. Another added, “Didn’t even recognize him!”
And yes, his smile caught attention, too. Courtesy of celebrity dentist Dr. Kevin Sands in Beverly Hills, Goodman’s bright new teeth added to the glow-up. Goodman played Dan Conner on Roseanne, and fans still love him for that role and movies like The Artist. But the transformation was beyond looks; it was also obvious in his confidence and the way he carried himself.
How did John Goodman lose weight?
John Goodman began his weight loss journey when he decided to stop drinking alcohol. For a long time, drinking made it hard for him to stay healthy. In 2007, when he hit 400 pounds, he went to rehab and made a real effort to change. This helped him break the cycle of losing weight and then gaining it back.
Besides quitting alcohol, John took things slow and steady. He started moving more and changed what he ate. He followed a Mediterranean diet, which means eating more fish, vegetables, fruit, nuts, and olive oil. With the help of his coach, John made exercise fun by walking, boxing, and staying active every day. His weight loss journey was slow but steady.
