Roseanne star John Goodman was completely unrecognizable from the height of his fame when he surfaced on Instagram this week.
The sitcom legend won a devoted fanbase for his endearing and layered performance as family patriarch Dan Conner, the husband of the title character played by Roseanne Barr.
During his years of performance, from 1988 to 1997, his portly figure was the subject of frequent jokes and occasional plot points, and he subsequently revealed that at his largest he weighed 400lb.
After Goodman gave up drinking in 2007, he embarked on a weight-loss process that by three years ago had seen him shed more than 200lb.
Now the 74-year-old had evidently slimmed down even further by this week, when Wizards of Waverly Place actor David DeLuise bumped into him at the supermarket.
DeLuise, whose parents Dom DeLuise and Carol Arthur were comic actors famed for their work in Mel Brooks’s films, excitedly posted an Instagram selfie with Goodman that left viewers flabbergasted by the TV icon’s change in appearance.
