John Goodman is definitely feeling great.
The “Roseanne” star, 73, made a striking appearance at the “Smurfs” premiere in Los Angeles on Sunday, showcasing the incredible results of his 200-pound weight loss journey.
Confident and proud, Goodman posed on the red carpet wearing a sharp navy blue suit paired with a dark grey patterned tie and brown loafers, highlighting his impressive slimmed-down transformation.
John Goodman lends his voice to Papa Smurf in the animated musical film directed by Chris Miller. The star-studded cast also features Rihanna, James Corden, Nick Offerman, Dan Levy, Amy Sedaris, Natasha Lyonne, Sandra Oh, and Hannah Waddingham.
At his heaviest, Goodman weighed 392 pounds before beginning his fitness journey in 2007.
He first showcased his impressive 200-pound weight loss on the red carpet at the 62nd Monte-Carlo TV Festival in June 2023.
With the help of personal trainer Mackie Shilstone, Goodman lost the weight by giving up alcohol, making several dietary changes—including adopting a Mediterranean diet—and sticking to a consistent workout routine that included walking 10,000 to 12,000 steps daily, as well as using an elliptical bike and treadmill.
“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.”
In 2016, he told ABC, “I’d have a handful of food and it’d go to my mouth. I was just eating all the time. I was just eating alcoholically.”
“In the old days, I would take three months out, lose 60 or 70 pounds, and then reward myself with a 6-pack of Bud or whatever and just go back to my old habits,” he continued.
“Then 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. And it gives me the energy to work, ’cause work is very draining.”
Goodman recently wrapped up his role as Dan Conner on “The Conners.” The “Roseanne” spinoff aired its series finale in April, ending with a poignant closing scene of Goodman sitting alone in the family living room, saying “goodnight” directly to the camera.
Executive producer and showrunner Bruce Helford revealed to The Post that the final scene was Goodman’s idea.
In a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Goodman revealed he hasn’t spoken to Barr, 72, in “about seven or eight years.”
“I’d rather doubt if she wants to talk to me,” added the “Righteous Gemstones” star.
