JOHN Goodman continues to turn heads as he shows off his dramatic weight loss.
And after years of yo-yo dieting, the actor says the fat is gone for good, man.
The 69-year-old, who has famously played portly roles such as Fred Flintstone or Dan Conner on the classic ABC sitcom Roseanne admits he has battled his weight his entire life.
In an interview with ABC News in 2016, John confessed: “In the old days, I would take three months out, lose 60 or 70 pounds, and then reward myself with a six-pack or whatever and just go back to my old habits.”
In 2010, John hit his peak weight, tipping the scales at nearly 400 pounds.
He joked that friends and family begged him to slim down because his large frame was causing furniture to break
“I was just shoving everything into my mouth,” the actor said in a 2018 interview with AARP. “But 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.”
But turning his life around wouldn't be easy.

CUTTING ALCOHOL
He started by cutting out heavy drinking in 2007, when he says he hit rock bottom shortly after winning an Emmy for his guest appearance on Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip.
“I had to go accept an Emmy award,” he said. “So I missed the rehearsal because I was drunk. And then by the time Sunday morning rolled around I was shaking.
"I was still drinking, but I was still shaking. I had the clarity of thought that I needed to be hospitalized. I called my wife, which was like turning myself into the Gestapo. And she made some phone calls; we got me into a treatment center, and I detoxed there and decided I liked the feeling. And it’s been (14) years.”
By 2016, John had lost over 100 pounds. But he wasn't done.
