In a 2016 interview with US outlet ABC, Goodman reflected on his old habits which constantly saw his weight fluctuate.
“This time I wanted to do it slowly, move, exercise,” he told the publication at the time. “I’m getting to the age where I can’t afford to sit still any more.”
The veteran actor is set to return to the big screen this year alongside Tom Cruise in dark comedy Digger.
In 2013, Goodman was inducted into the Disney Hall of Fame for his legacy work and voice-acting talents, most notably starring as ‘Sulley’ in the Monsters, Inc. franchise and Pacha in The Emperor’s New Groove.
