John Goodman and his wife, Anna Beth Goodman, had a rare date night out at the Los Angeles premiere of “Digger.”
The “Roseanne” actor wore a simple black suit, with a stripped-collared shirt and a grey tie. Anna Beth was photographed wearing a deep plum gown with a black clutch.
John and Anna Beth have been married since 1989, after meeting at a Halloween party in New Orleans. The couple welcomed their daughter, Molly Evangeline, in 1990 and chose to raise her in New Orleans away from the Hollywood spotlight.

The “Digger” premiere date night outing was another opportunity for John to show off his impressive weight loss.
John began his weight-loss journey in 2007, when he weighed nearly 400 pounds. After getting sober, he worked with personal trainer Mackie Shilstone, adopted a Mediterranean-style diet and focused on portion control.
In 2010, Goodman revealed that he had lost more than 100 pounds after cutting sugar from his diet and committing to regular exercise, including working out six days a week.
“I just stopped eating all the time,” he told ABC News in 2016. “I’d have a handful of food, and it’d go to my mouth. I was just eating all the time. I was just eating alcoholically. In the old days, I would take three months out, lose 60 or 70 pounds, and then reward myself with a six-pack of Bud or whatever and just go back to my old habits.”

Goodman turned to boxing and daily walks as his form of movement.
“I dug it. Yeah. Nobody’s going to get hurt, but it’s just hitting the mitts and trying to learn,” he told The Rolling Stone in 2023. “I never got good enough where I would trust myself to spar because once I get whacked in the face, I don’t know if I wouldn’t lose it.”

“But it’s usually just an hour, hour and a half of hitting the mitts, hitting the bags, learning footwork. It’s great,” Goodman added.
“The Big Lebowski” actor has also credited giving up alcohol as a contributing factor.

Goodman quit drinking in 2007 following years of alcohol abuse. He has spoken candidly about the moment he realized he needed to make a change, saying he wanted to “live life better.”
