So how did John Goodman lose 200 pounds? As the Roseanne star hits the red carpet in a smart tuxedo in France, a glimpse into his new regimen
John Goodman showed off his new slim physique when he attended the Golden Nymphs event in Monte-Carlo on Tuesday.

The 70-year-old actor – who has lost a whopping 200 pounds over the years – was freshly shaved and styled his short hair parted to the side.
The comedian pledged to review his lifestyle and lose weight in 2007.
And John Goodman proved he had stuck to his plan when he showed off his much slimmer physique this weekend in Monaco and attended the 62nd Monte Carlo TV Festival, where he was president of the jury.
Unbelievable: John Goodman – who has lost 200 pounds over the years – looked almost unrecognizable as he posed on the red carpet at The Golden Nymphs event

The Rosanne star started his journey in 2007 when he quit drinking, but his trainer then took him to a new level of weight loss and fitness.
According to his trainer, he introduced the star to a “Mediterranean-style eating plan” that focuses on fish, nuts, olive oil, fruits and vegetables.
John also exercises six days a week, taking 10,000 to 12,000 steps daily and using an elliptical bike and treadmill.
The actor has always been open about his love of food, telling People, “It takes a lot of creative energy to sit on your ass and figure out what you’re going to eat next.”
In 2016, John told Howard Stern, “I took it easy. I just wanted to change my lifestyle. He explained that his new way of living is “an ongoing process for the rest of my life.”
The star revealed that he used to look in the mirror every day and think, “I have to deal with this for the rest of the day, do I have to deal with this asshole?”
The following year, he told ABC about his weight loss, “I used to take three months off, lose 60 or 70 pounds, and then reward myself with a six-pack or whatever and just fall back into my old habits.”
However, he decided that this time he would be really disciplined and do things differently.

“This time I wanted to take it easy. Move, exercise. I’m getting to an age where I can’t afford to sit still.’
As part of his lifestyle overhaul, the actor gave up alcohol, telling AARP in 2018, “It was really just portion control, and I don’t need it. I just stuffed everything in my mouth.’
Speaking about his alcohol addiction, John told Rolling Stone magazine, “All that anger was fueled by fear, and the drinking was because it was fun.
“But I was probably born an alcoholic. But most of the anger is gone. When I’m not watching the news, I’m cool.”
