Goodman is best known for his role as Dan Conner in the sitcom Roseanne. He took that role from 1988 to 1997 and reprized it again in the reboot of 2018. But now the actor looks completely different. He is almost 100 kilos lighter.
And that is the result of years of hard work. In an interview with David Letterman in 2010, he admitted that he weighed 180 kilograms. But he wanted to get rid of that. In 2017, he told ABC News, “I used to take a three-month break, lose 30 pounds, and then reward myself with a six-pack or whatever and just go back to my old habits. But this time I wanted to do it differently. I am getting to an age where I can no longer afford to sit still.”
“It was really just a matter of portion control. “I don’t need it,” I would say. But I just poured and shoved everything in my mouth.” He therefore hired a personal trainer who encouraged him to exercise six times a week. He also bought fitness equipment and was conscious of exercise and food.
But that wasn’t the only change. In 2007 he decided to stop drinking alcohol. “I had to take home an Emmy award,” he said. “So I missed rehearsal because I was drunk. And by the time it was Sunday morning, I was shaking. I was still drunk, but I was still shaking.” Goodman knew it couldn’t go on like this, so he called his wife. He was admitted to a hospital and decided to get rid of his addiction.
