He's made his name as an overweight, larger-than-life character throughout his Hollywood career.
But the pounds have been falling off portly actor John Goodman as he showed off a slimmer physique at an awards ceremony in Los Angeles last night.
The 57-year-old, who was rumoured to weigh 28 stone 18months ago, looked almost half the man he was just under a year ago as he attended the AFI Life Achievement Award party.
The actor's weight, which is known to fluctuate, has been the subject of many showbiz columns and stories over the years.
But yesterday, the 6ft 3in actor's slimmer figure was a far cry from the obesity he has struggled with.
But the picture that sparked so much concern about his weight, was one taken while he filmed the comedy Confessions of a Shopaholic in New York in December 2008.
The snap of an obese Goodman walking round Manhattan smoking a cigarette prompted US tabloid The Globe to publish an article about his weight.
With the headline '400-lb Goodman eating himself to death!', the feature spoke about his friends' fears that his weight and eating habits were getting out of control.
