Hollywood star John Goodman looked dramatically different while out in New York City on Tuesday after losing over 14 stone.
The Golden Globe award winner, 71, has been on an incredible weight loss journey in recent years, dropping a staggering 200lb – that’s serious dedication!
John and his wife Anna Beth Goodman, 55, were spotted after they flew into John F Kennedy International Airport earlier this week, with John stopping to sign autographs for fans.
As he stopped for a moment, photographers captured his new look – as he signed fan memorabilia he donned a casual green hooded jacket with a blue jumper underneath.
The Monsters Inc actor vowed back in 2007 to completely change his lifestyle after reaching a peak weight of 28 stone, and it looks as though he’s delivered on that promise.
Midway through 2023 he revealed his new look at the Monte Carlo TV Festival in Monaco, with the Argo actor looking significantly slimmer as he wore a smart suit for the event.
Since then he’s made several public appearances, showing everyone the amount of weight he’s lost since stepping away from the big screen a few years ago.
John largely took a step back from movie acting in 2019, choosing instead to do shorter roles in TV series. Mostly recently he reprised his role as Bill Randa in Apple TV series Monarch: Legacy of Monsters, bringing back his character from Kong: Skull Island.
In 2016, he said he wanted his weight loss to be gradual, focusing on health and fitness rather than body image: ‘I took it slow. I just wanted to change my lifestyle. It’s an ongoing process for the rest of my life.’
And it appears the new methods have paid off, with John having visibly lost even more weight in the months since his public showing in Monaco.
He told Howard Stern in the past: ‘You look in the mirror everyday and go, “I gotta deal with this the rest of the day, I gotta deal with this schmuck?”’
‘In the old days, I would take three months out, lose 60 or 70 pounds, and then reward myself with a six-pack or whatever and just go back to my old habits,’ he explained to ABC a year later.
The Flintstones actor continued: ‘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 popular character actor’s trainer revealed that John was now consuming a ‘Mediterranean-style eating plan’, focusing on fish, nuts, olive oil, vegetables and fruit, according to MailOnline.
And John isn’t the only one losing weight in Hollywood at the moment, with fellow actor Melissa McCarthy also stunning fans after revealing her new look earlier this year.
Taking to Instagram in February, Melissa, 53, gave us a glimpse of her new lifestyle and her new wardrobe, as she donned a bright pink sequined jacket and chunky jewellery.
