I need to take some inspiration from this man. Not wait until I'm in my sixties to get the weight under control, though.

That's interesting as I had him pegged for a contender to the portly man of Hollywood crown in this thread:-

I think at peak weight Goodman could have given him a (non literal) run for his money.

Is it healthy weight loss, or is he ill? I hope he's well. He's one of my favorite actors. Especially in Coen Brothers movies.

in 2007 he says he was his heaviest at 392 lbs. He hired a health coach, cut out sugar and alcohol from his diet, and by 2010 he had lost 100 lbs. Page Six claims he's lost 200 lbs, but I don't think he's ever stated that.

This sounds like healthy weight loss. If he was ill, it would have killed him by now.

Good to hear! He's a very underrated actor.

He's done great.
