John Goodman looked nearly unrecognisable as he showed off his 200-pound (90kg) weight loss in a selfie.
The 74-year-old Monsters, Inc. star posed for a photo with Wizards of Waverly Place actor David DeLuise.
Goodman can be seen smiling as the pair stood in a supermarket, with the veteran actor dressed casually in a denim shirt.
Writing on Instagram on Thursday, DeLuise wrote: ‘He was my childhood!! Legend! I love that I get to say that to someone 😉 If you know you know.’
However, taking to the comments section, the attention of fans quickly turned to Goodman’s remarkable transformation, which has seen him shed roughly 14 stone from his early days of acting.

Meanwhile, Nick added: ‘He’s so much skinnier than I remember seeing him! 👏😍’
Goodman previously revealed the lifestyle changes he made after he once weighed close to 28 stone.
The actor, who has starred in films such as The Big Lebowski, quit alcohol in 2007 and has since spoken candidly about the work involved in keeping the weight off.
In 2010, Goodman revealed he had already lost around 100 pounds through regular exercise and changes to his diet.
He later explained that he had struggled with constantly eating and would repeatedly lose weight before falling back into old habits.

Speaking to ABC News in 2016, he said: ‘I just got tired, sick and tired of looking at myself. You’re shaving in the mirror and you don’t want to look at yourself. It gets dangerous.’
Goodman has also credited staying active as an important part of maintaining his transformation, including walking his dogs and boxing.
In 2023, he then confirmed that he had lost around 200 pounds in total.
Despite keeping a relatively low public profile, Goodman’s credits include some of the biggest projects in Hollywood, from The Flintstones and The Righteous Gemstones to voicing Sulley in Pixar’s Monsters, Inc.
