John Goodman weighed 180 kilos, he lost half of it

John Goodman shared his weight loss journey with The New Yorker, as summarized by the Independent. The 74-year-old actor revealed that he quit drinking in 2007, replacing alcohol with food, which led to his weight reaching nearly 180 kilograms. He expressed that overeating was a way to fill a void, similar to drinking. Goodman acknowledged his struggles with weight loss attempts prior to quitting alcohol, noting that he lost significant weight multiple times but eventually regained it. After quitting drinking, he began to eat as if he were still drinking. He recently received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, with a fellow actor honoring him in a speech.
