John Goodman shows off svelte appearance in NYC after 200-pound weight loss

John Goodman is putting his slim-down on display.

The “Roseanne” alum, 71, was photographed looking svelte in New York City on Wednesday, stepping out in a green hoodie, jeans and slip-on shoes.

Goodman’s outing comes nearly one year after he shared insight into his weight-loss journey.

The actor told Rolling Stone in June 2023 that he had lost more than 200 pounds with daily dog walks and boxing.

“It’s usually just an hour, hour and a half of hitting the mitts, hitting the bags, learning footwork,” he said at the time. “It’s great.”

Goodman continued, “I never got good enough where I would trust myself to spar. Because once I get whacked in the face, I don’t know if I wouldn’t lose it.”

However, the self-proclaimed “lazy” star admitted that his exercise routine had lapsed after the COVID-19 quarantine ended and work picked back up.

“I’m going to start … again this summer where I can get some stuff done,” he explained. “I’ve just let everything go just because I haven’t had the energy because of the jobs.”

Goodman previously told AARP in 2018 about the dietary changes he has made over the years.

After “just shoving everything into [his] mouth,” the “Conners” star began controlling his portions.

He took the weight loss “slow” that time around, telling ABC in 2017 that he was not interested in returning to “old habits” after brief stints.

“In the old days, I would take three months out, lose 60 or 70 pounds, and then reward myself with a six-pack [of beer] or whatever,” he explained.

Goodman eventually stopped drinking alcohol and hired a trainer.

In 2010, the Emmy winner spoke to People about wanting to “live life better” by “breaking a sweat” — but not “going nuts.”

He said, “It takes a lot of creative energy to sit on your ass and figure out what you’re going to eat next. … It was a waste.”
