John Goodman Stuns at 'Smurfs' Premiere After Impressive 200-Pound Weight Loss

John Goodman made a striking appearance at the “Smurfs” premiere, showcasing his impressive 200-pound weight loss over the years.

The actor, known for voicing Papa Smurf in this animated feature, graced the red carpet in Los Angeles in a sharp navy blue suit paired with a crisp white shirt, a black patterned tie, and brown dress shoes. His confident smile lit up the event as he posed for photographers.

This public appearance comes just four months after the 73-year-old actor sustained a minor hip injury while filming a project with Tom Cruise in London. According to reports, Goodman had a slip while blocking a scene, which resulted in a few days of halted filming for recovery.

Fortunately, sources confirmed that his injury was not severe, and production resumed shortly after Goodman was well enough to return to the set.

Goodman’s transformation began in 2007 when he quit drinking, weighing in at around 400 pounds. Reflecting on his past lifestyle, he mentioned, “It was a waste,” emphasizing that he wanted to experience life more actively.

His commitment to health involved hiring a coach, eliminating sugar, and training six days a week. Goodman maintains a balanced approach, stating, “I’m breaking a sweat, but I’m not going nuts.”

In a 2017 ABC interview, he talked about his previous quick fixes for weight loss that he would soon revert from, highlighting a desire to adopt a more lasting lifestyle change. Goodman noted, “This time, I wanted to do it slowly,” recognizing the importance of staying active as he ages.

Reflecting on his journey, he expressed a commitment to portion control, reminding himself that “I don’t need it.” Yet, he humorously cautioned against becoming an example of a yo-yo dieter.

Recently, Goodman admitted to getting “lazy” during the pandemic, but he’s now determined to re-establish his fitness routines and embrace healthier choices.
