More on John Goodman's health journey
John Goodman has been quite open about his struggles with weight loss and his overall health journey. He has openly discussed what drove him to improve his health and the lifestyle changes he made in multiple interviews.
In an interview with Rolling Stone in 2023, John discussed how he maintains a healthy lifestyle through a balanced diet and regular exercise. He said:
''I was boxing up until then and I haven’t been able to do that since Covid because I’m lazy. I haven’t been exercising, but I’m going to start a routine again this summer where I can get some stuff done. I’ve just let everything go just because I haven’t had the energy because of the jobs.''
He had also mentioned during the interview that walking his dog was also an activity included in his routine. In an interview with People in 2010, he stated that his motivation was to live a better life. He said:
''I know it sounds sappy, but it was a waste. It takes a lot of creative energy to sit on your ass and figure out what you’re going to eat next. ... I wanted to live life better.''
John also spoke to ABC News in March 2016, explaining how his perspective on health and fitness had changed over the years. He said:
''In the old days, I would take three months out, lose 60 or 70 pounds, and then reward myself with a 6-pack of bud or whatever and just go back to my old habits.''
He continued:
''Then this time I wanted to do it slowly, move, exercise. I’m getting to the age where I can’t afford to sit still anymore. And it gives me the energy to work, ‘cause work is very draining.''
The actor was last seen in the comedy series The Righteous Gemstones, which ended its fourth and final season in March, and the comedy-drama sitcom The Conners.
