Actor John Goodman, 74, and his wife Anna Beth Goodman, 57, attended the Los Angeles premiere of the film Digger on Monday evening. The event marked a rare public appearance for the couple, who posed together on the red carpet.
Goodman, known for his role as Dan Conner on the television series Roseanne, wore a navy suit and tie, while Anna Beth wore a maroon dress and matching heels. The premiere featured Digger, a dark satirical comedy-drama directed by Alejandro González Iñárritu, the Oscar-winning filmmaker behind Birdman, The Revenant, and Babel.
Goodman’s weight loss journey Goodman has lost approximately 200 pounds since beginning his weight-loss journey in 2007, following decades of alcohol addiction. He entered rehab that year and has since adopted a Mediterranean-style diet, portion control, and regular exercise, including boxing and daily walks. In interviews, he has described his past struggles with overeating and alcoholism, noting that he would cycle through weight loss and regain.
The actor has previously stated that he weighed nearly 400 pounds at his heaviest. His transformation has been widely documented, with Goodman emphasizing discipline and lifestyle changes as key factors in his sustained weight loss. He has also discussed boxing as a form of movement, though he has avoided sparring due to concerns about injury.
Marriage and family Goodman and Anna Beth have been married since 1989, meeting at a Halloween party in New Orleans. The couple has one daughter, Molly Evangeline, born in 1990, whom they raised in New Orleans. Goodman has previously described his decision to prioritize family life and privacy away from Hollywood.
Digger stars Tom Cruise as Digger Rockwell, an eccentric oil magnate whose actions trigger an environmental disaster. Goodman portrays President Compson, the U.S. president who serves as a political counterbalance to Rockwell’s character.
