John Goodman shows off 200-pound weight loss at ‘Smurfs’ premiere

John Goodman is showing off his 200-pound weight loss.

The former “Conners” star, 73, turned heads when he walked the red carpet at the Los Angeles premiere of the “Smurfs” movie on Sunday.

Goodman, who voices Papa Smurf in the animated flick, wore a navy blue suit, white shirt, black tie and brown shoes as he smiled for photographers.

Goodman’s appearance at the event comes four months after he sustained a hip injury in the U.K. during production of an upcoming movie directed by Oscar winner Alejandro González Iñárritu, Deadline reported in March.

The Emmy winner reportedly received medical attention and was scheduled to begin shooting again the following week.

Goodman’s slow and steady weight loss has happened over many years. According to a 2023 interview with Rolling Stone, the actor has lost more than 200 pounds.

The actor told People in 2010 that he’d lost the first 100 pounds after deciding he wanted to be a more active person.

“I know it sounds sappy, but it was a waste,” he said. “It takes a lot of creative energy to sit on your a– and figure out what you’re going to eat next. … I wanted to live life better.”

Goodman told the publication that he’d been working out six days a week and he’d also cut out sugar from his diet.

“I’m breaking a sweat, but I’m not going nuts,” he said.

In 2018, Goodman told AARP that he had trained himself to consume less food when he ate. “It was basically just portion control, and ‘I don’t need it,’” he said. “I was just shoving everything into my mouth.”

He added that that he wasn’t comfortable boasting about his weight loss because of the risk of him gaining the weight back.

“I don’t want to be an example to anybody when the weight comes thundering back on — when I start eating Crisco out of the can with a spoon and a side of confectioner’s sugar,” he joked.

In June 2023, Goodman told Rolling Stone that his exercise routine at the time consisted of “getting out and walking the dogs.”

The busy actor said he had become “lazy” since the Covid pandemic and hadn’t devoted much time as he wanted to working out.

Goodman added that boxing was one of his favorite ways to break a sweat.

“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,” he added.
