John Goodman walked the red carpet with his wife, Anna Beth Goodman, at the Los Angeles premiere of his new film "Digger," marking one of the couple's rare public appearances together.
The event, held Sunday, drew photographers and fans who noticed the 73-year-old actor's continued weight loss. Goodman has shed a significant amount of weight in recent years, a change he has attributed to diet and exercise rather than surgery.
Goodman wore a dark suit, while Anna Beth opted for a black ensemble. The two have been married since 1989 and share one daughter, Molly, born in 1990. Anna Beth has largely stayed out of the spotlight throughout her husband's decades-long career.
The outing comes as Goodman promotes "Digger," a film in which he stars. Details about the movie's plot and release date were not immediately available from the premiere coverage.
Goodman, best known for his role as Dan Conner on "Roseanne" and its revival "The Conners," has been open in past interviews about his health struggles. He told ABC's "Lorraine" in 2016 that he had quit drinking and adopted a healthier lifestyle after years of carrying excess weight.
"I just stopped drinking and started eating right," Goodman said at the time. "I feel better than I have in years."
In 2023, Goodman told People magazine that he had lost more than 200 pounds over the course of his journey. He credited portion control and regular exercise, saying he wanted to be around for his family.
The actor's public appearances have become less frequent in recent years. He splits his time between Los Angeles and New Orleans, where he and Anna Beth own a home.
Goodman's career spans more than four decades, with credits including "The Big Lebowski," "Monsters, Inc.," and "10 Cloverfield Lane." He won a Golden Globe for his work on "Roseanne" and has been nominated for seven Primetime Emmy Awards.
Representatives for Goodman did not immediately respond to requests for comment about the premiere or his current projects.
The "Digger" premiere marks Goodman's first major red carpet event of the year. He is next set to appear in an untitled project, according to his IMDb page, though production details remain under wraps.
