Roseanne star John Goodman reveals surprising health complications following 200-lb weight loss
John Goodman, the 74-year-old star of Roseanne, has candidly discussed unexpected health complications following his dramatic 200-lb weight loss. The actor, who once weighed 400 lbs at his peak in 2011, embarked on a health journey that saw him shed half his body weight.
Goodman revealed that his previous attempts at weight loss were a cycle of losing and regaining: "I'd lose 60 pounds in a summer, gain it all back. 70 pounds, 80 pounds. And that got tiring," he shared. "I took steps so I wouldn't have to do that anymore. I was almost 400 pounds." He attributed a significant weight increase to "eating alcoholically" after getting sober.
His body transformation began with dieting and stomach surgery. However, the weight loss brought with it significant downsides in addition to health benefits. "I also turned anemic and lost a layer of fat under my skin, and I'm cold all the time," Goodman explained.
