Overview
- A selfie posted by actor David DeLuise that circulated last Friday renewed media attention on John Goodman and prompted outlets to revisit his public interviews and recent photos.
- Goodman says he once weighed about 180 kilograms and has lost roughly 90–91 kilograms after changing his approach around 2017 to slower, sustained habits.
- He credits adopting a Mediterranean-style diet, cutting sugar, eating smaller portions, regular training with trainer Mackie Shilstone and a daily 10,000-step walking goal for the long-term loss.
- Roseanne Barr’s change is also noted in coverage: she had a gastric-bypass in the late 1990s, lost about 45 kilograms initially and later maintained further loss through diet and movement.
- The renewed coverage ties the celebrities’ visible transformations to a broader shift away from rapid dieting toward lasting lifestyle change and highlights Goodman’s preference for a quieter life in New Orleans.
