John Goodman made a memorable appearance at the Los Angeles premiere of “The Smurfs Movie” on Sunday, July 13, 2025, and fans couldn’t get enough of it. The talk was about the actor who voiced Papa Smurf, not the film itself.

The renowned actor appeared radically different after reportedly losing 200 pounds, eliciting admiration and astonishment from admirers as he posed for photos in a dark blue suit. Goodman, who has been in the public eye for decades thanks to parts in “Roseanne,” “The Big Lebowski,” and, most recently, “The Righteous Gemstones,” has been on a gradual and steady health journey.
