John Goodman is getting candid about what led him to lose weight.

During a recent interview with The New Yorker, the 74-year-old actor discussed his struggles with his weight and alcoholism, saying that he got sober in his 50s, but was trying to manage his weight before quitting.

"I’d lose sixty pounds in a summer, gain it all back. Seventy pounds, eighty pounds. And that got tiring," he said. "I took steps so I wouldn’t have to do that anymore. I was almost four hundred pounds. I was eating alcoholically after I stopped drinking."

He shared that to improve his health, he "had an operation on my stomach," but said he also became "anemic and lost a layer of fat under my skin."

When discussing his experience with alcoholism, the "Roseanne" star shared his struggles began in 1978 when his girlfriend at the time "put me on waivers, so my nights were free for the first time in five years."

He recalled going out to multiple bars until drinking became a "habit," noting, "I started gaining weight at an alarming rate." He pinpointed one bar in particular, Café Central, noting he "turned it into home—and got very used to drinking" in his pursuit to find "friends" and "people to hang around and laugh with."

"There’s a saying in the rooms: I got sick and tired of being sick and tired," he said about his decision to get sober. "The thing about instant gratification is you don’t really care what’s going to happen right after it—which always led to bigger hangovers or me getting the shakes, and having to drink to get rid of the shakes, and that vicious cycle. I was in a position, when I quit, where I had to be hospitalized one way or the other."

Goodman went on to say that he grew "tired of it" and wanted it to stop. He recalled "realizing how selfish it made me," noting he "had a lot of catching up to do" in terms of maturity, as he "was delaying my maturation by drinking."

"I was overlooking real life," he said. "And it was great to see there was a life where I didn’t have to use anything to enjoy it."

The "The Big Lebowski" actor has spoken about his weight loss journey in the past, telling The Rolling Stone in 2023 that he began incorporating boxing and daily walks into his routine.

He shared at the time that his routine included "just an hour, hour and a half of hitting the mitts, hitting the bags, learning footwork."

"I dug it. Yeah. Nobody’s going to get hurt, but it’s just hitting the mitts and trying to learn," he told the outlet. "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."

Goodman rose to fame playing the Conner family patriarch, Dan Conner, for nine seasons during the original run of "Roseanne." He later reprised the role in the 2018 reboot, and again in the spin-off show, "The Conners."

Mel Brooks wasn't about to let his age stand in the way of a "Spaceballs" comeback.

Brooks, 100, had one very specific request before cameras started rolling – Don't wait to film me.

"We filmed 'Spaceballs: The New One' that Mel Brooks worked with the writers on. He’s a big influence in it. He filmed his part already before we shot," Daphne Zuniga, who plays Princess Vespa, told People during the "Melrose Place" 90s Con panel. "It was his idea: ‘You better film me now because I’m 100.’"

"So we did," she said.

The upcoming sequel will also bring back several familiar faces, along with a few new additions.

"It opens April 23rd of next year," Zuniga revealed. "Rick Moranis is back as Lord Dark Helmet, and Bill Pullman is back as my husband. His real son, Lewis Pullman, plays our son, the prince, and Keke Palmer is in it. It was great fun."

"Spaceballs," co-written and produced by Brooks, premiered in 1987. The comedy legend was 60 when the movie premiered and is now 100 years old.

The film follows Lone Starr (Bill Pullman) and his half-man, half-dog sidekick Barf (John Candy) as they attempt to rescue Princess Vespa (Daphne Zuniga) from the villainous Dark Helmet (Rick Moranis) and President Skroob (Mel Brooks).

A parody of "Star Wars," the movie also pokes fun at "Star Trek," "Alien" and other science-fiction classics.

Moranis' portrayal of Dark Helmet became one of the film's most memorable performances – but according to Brooks, it came at a price. He previously told Fox News Digital that the making of the film quickly racked up a bill, all thanks to one star.

"Rick Moranis cost me a lot of money," Brooks explained. "When we were filming, the whole crew kept laughing at his antics and ruining take after take!"

"It all started with his entrance in his giant helmet and the line, ‘I can’t breathe in this thing,'" Brooks recalled. "His reading of it was so real and funny that everybody on the set exploded with laughter! I had to sternly caution the crew not to break up when Rick did his stuff, but it was hard because often I’d be the guilty one laughing my head off."

Nearly four decades after first donning Dark Helmet's oversized headgear, Moranis admitted that returning to the role felt like stepping into a time machine.

"Well, I kept having to pinch myself because I would look at Daphne [Zuniga] and Bill [Pullman] and George Wyner. Earl Sanders. And then there were all these young people," Moranis said during a panel at the San Diego Comic-Con, according to People.

"And I realized I was their age 39 years ago when we made this," the "Honey, I Shrunk the Kids" actor said. "And here we are now, and my kids are the age of this."

"I felt like I was in a time warp, but I was in that outfit and wearing the helmet," he added. "And it just felt very strange to be honest with you. But it started to feel really good and I really started to love it."

Fox News Digital's Larry Fink contributed to this report.

Amanda Seyfried landed in the hot seat after her appearance in the latest Elizabeth Holmes documentary unleashed a wave of criticism online.

Seyfried surprised viewers when she appeared alongside Nathan Fielder in "You Can See Everything," a documentary that followed Holmes in the last 34 days leading up to the start of her prison sentence. Holmes reported to Federal Prison Camp Bryan on May 30, 2023.

Seyfried revisited her connection to the disgraced Theranos founder, whom she portrayed in Hulu's "The Dropout." The new documentary, released Oct. 16, explored Seyfried's evolving perspective on Holmes, including her reactions to Holmes' personal life and relationship with Billy Evans. Stepping back into Holmes' shoes for the documentary, Seyfried helped Fielder recreate conversations he had with the disgraced Theranos founder after she reported to prison.

Throughout the film, Seyfried grappled with her growing sympathy for Holmes, even as the convicted fraudster challenged the way the actress portrayed her in the Hulu series.

'YOU CAN SEE EVERYTHING' REVIEW: THE BUZZY ELIZABETH HOLMES DOCUMENTARY IS WORTH THE HYPE

"Amanda Seyfried defending Holmes as a victim of male manipulation until Holmes accused her of participating in a sensationalized version of the Theranos scandal and then flipping out about how it is just TV was a [sic] truly gross," one X user wrote. "I hope she gets redragged for it."

Other viewers piled on, accusing Seyfried of changing her tune when the scrutiny shifted toward her own role in bringing the Theranos scandal to television.

"Lots of 'women protecting women' posturing from her until she gets accused of perhaps also causing Elizabeth some degree of pain, after which she immediately deflects and starts engaging in female emotional manipulation by accusing Nathan of covering up for Elizabeth based on her 'intuition,'" another user said.

Another viewer echoed the criticism, arguing that Seyfried's behavior only reinforced their negative impression of the actress.

"This is maybe the number one reason why I loved 'You Can See Everything.' Seeing Amanda Seyfried for her true colors in full hypocrisy was such a cathartic feeling," one user said. "It reminds me why we should never take people like her seriously."

Not everyone agreed with the harsh criticism. Some viewers came to Seyfried's defense, arguing that her changing opinion of Holmes wasn't a sign of hypocrisy but rather an essential part of the documentary's larger message.

"imagine walking away from this blaming amanda seyfried," a user wrote. "the point is, amanda herself changes her opinion on elizabeth holmes. so does nathan fielder. so does the audience. thats the literal point."

Another added, "At no point in the movie does Elizabeth Holmes reckon with how anyone other than her was harmed by the downfall of Theranos. Amanda Seyfried earnestly reckons with the consequences of her actions even when she is (correctly) pretty sure she didn't do anything wrong."

Fox News Digital reached out to Seyfried's representative for comment.

Holmes was convicted in January 2022 on four federal fraud charges for misleading investors about her blood-testing company's technology and capabilities. A jury found her guilty of one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud and three counts of wire fraud, all related to defrauding investors.

She was sentenced in November 2022 to 11 years and three months in federal prison.

"You Can See Everything" examined Holmes' efforts to reclaim control of her public image after the spectacular collapse of Theranos, the blood-testing company she founded. As she prepared to begin her prison sentence, Holmes confronted the fallout from her fraud conviction, the intense scrutiny surrounding her personal life and the Hollywood portrayal of her downfall.

The film offered a closer look at the disgraced entrepreneur's attempts to navigate life beyond the scandal that destroyed her reputation, while exploring the complicated divide between how Holmes viewed herself and how the public perceived her.
