ROSEANNE BARR AND JOHN GOODMAN HAVEN’T SPOKEN IN \u2018SEVEN OR EIGHT YEARS\u2019<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Goodman dropped 200 pounds<\/a> through exercise and dieting. The “Roseanne” star chose boxing and daily walks as his form of movement.<\/p>\n

“I dug it. Yeah. Nobody\u2019s going to get hurt, but it\u2019s just hitting the mitts and trying to learn,” he told The Rolling Stone<\/a> in 2023. “I never got good enough where I would trust myself to spar because once I get whacked in the face, I don\u2019t know if I wouldn\u2019t lose it.”<\/p>\n

“But it\u2019s usually just an hour, hour and a half of hitting the mitts, hitting the bags, learning footwork. It\u2019s great.”<\/p>\n

Goodman, now 73, changed his approach<\/a> to nutrition in order to shed pounds.<\/p>\n

“I just stopped eating all the time,” he told ABC News<\/a> in 2016. “I\u2019d have a handful of food, and it\u2019d go to my mouth. I was just eating all the time. I was just eating alcoholically. In the old days, I would take three months out, lose 60 or 70 pounds, and then reward myself with a six-pack of Bud or whatever and just go back to my old habits.”<\/p>\n

His choice to begin exercising again led to an increase in energy.<\/p>\n

“I\u2019m getting to the age where I can\u2019t afford to sit still anymore,” Goodman told the outlet. “And it gives me the energy to work, \u2018cause work is very draining.”<\/p>\n

Goodman, who once weighed almost 400 pounds, revealed how he found the motivation to become healthier.<\/p>\n

“I just got tired, sick and tired of looking at myself,” he admitted.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“You\u2019re shaving in the mirror, and you don\u2019t want to look at yourself. It gets dangerous.”<\/p>\n

Goodman’s prolific career<\/a> began in the 1980s with his role in “Roseanne.” He went on to star in a number of voice roles, including “Monsters Inc.,” “Cars,” and “Bee Movie.” Other major roles included gigs in “The Flintstones,” “Argo,” “10 Cloverfield Lane” and “The Big Lebowski.”<\/p>\n

Goodman’s most recent projects include “The Conners” and “The Righteous Gemstones.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
