How John Goodman got skinny

Wondering how this fat boy became slim? Famously portly ‘Roseanne’ star  John Goodman says the secret to his extreme weight-loss is an annual diet that’s seen him drop almost 30kg every year.

The actor – who admits to recently tipping the scales at nearly 180kg – reveals, “I lose 60 pounds every spring. I’m getting lots of exercise.”

John (58) decided to change his unhealthy eating habits when he started breaking furniture and his family became concerned. However, he confesses his penchant for beer destroyed many of his past weight-loss attempts.

The ‘oonsters Inc’ star says, “I got too fond of corn and barley. I just started missing it too much and that screwed everything up. I gained it all back and then some every year.” Good luck sticking to the diet this time, John!
