John Goodman is not unknown to the audience as Dan Conner in the comedy series Roseanne. While grandmoms would remember him for his sitcoms, the youngsters would recognize him for his voiceover of Sulley in Monsters, Inc. He is regarded as one of the greatest actors who was never nominated for the Academy Awards. Apart from his acting prowess, Goodman was also known for his huge size. The Righteous Gemstones star weighed over 400 lbs in late 2000 before he took up his fitness journey seriously. Ever since, Goodman had shedded over 200 lbs stunning his fans. His latest pictures while attending a Television event gave a glimpse of his fit physique. JOHN GOODMAN’S RECENT PICTURES FROM MONTE CARLO TV FESTIVAL The 71-year-old character actor appeared at the Monte Carlo Television Festival to preside over the show as a jury. But what shocked the fans is his slim frame. He graced the show in a black blazer, beige pants, and yellow tie. However, he isn’t his old self when it comes to his physique. From being obese, Goodman now flaunts his fit physique after losing over 200 lbs. But the fitness journey wasn’t an easy ride for the actor. Describing the secret behind his massive weight loss, Goodman earlier confessed [https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/john-goodman-shows-off-impressive-weight-loss-shocking-new-photos], “I just stopped eating all the time. I’d have a handful of food and it’d go to my mouth. I was just eating all the time. I was just eating alcoholically.“ [https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/John-Goodman-1.jpg] Further, he regulated his alcohol consumption before turning sober in 2007 after struggling with the addiction for 30 years. Though he constantly tried various ways to reduce weight, he would eventually gain the lost pounds, once he is back to his unhealthy lifestyle. So he tried to mend his ways in 2007 by following a healthy diet and fitness regime. ROSEANNE ACTOR’S SPECIAL DIET In 2011 the actor took to the Mediterranean diet after advice from his trainee Mackie Shilstone. It mainly involves a plant-based diet like fruits and vegetables, olive oil, and reduced consumption of red meat according to the trainer. “It takes a lot of creative energy to sit on your a** and figure out what you’re going to eat next… I wanted to live better,” The Flintstones actor once mentioned.

John Goodman is an inspiration not just for his acting skills but for his determination to lose those pounds.

Out of all the competitions in the world, bodybuilding stays apart as a unique one. Athletes train for years to perfect their bodies and develop muscular mass. Likewise, athletes who train for competitions are understood as bodybuilders. In professional competitions like the Mr. Olympia event, bodybuilders stand on the stage, posing for various parts of their bodies. Judges rank them based on their symmetry, muscularity, size, conditioning, posing, and stage presentation. There are various competitions in bodybuilding but the Mr. Olympia contest stands apart from the rest.

<h2>History of bodybuilding</h2>
Old Greeks became the inspiration for people to start bodybuilding. After that, modern competitions came up from various theatrical acts and other circus acts. They held the first <a href="https://www.britannica.com/sports/bodybuilding" target="_blank" rel="noopener">contest</a> in 1903 in New York. The winner of the competition was Al Treloar and dubbed "The Most Perfectly Developed Man in the World." Significantly, organizers saw potential in that and the start of the Mr. America contest showcased some of the best talents. The rise of various bodybuilders across the globe saw the Mr. Universe event come into place and it became the main event for over 25 years. But, the late 1970s saw Joe Weider come up with a grand plan and create the Mr. Olympia contest.

<h2>Mr. Olympia contest</h2>
The contest that captured the minds of fans was the Mr. Olympia contest under the International Federation of Bodybuilding &amp; Fitness. Weider helps these bodybuilders to earn money by competing in events. They held the first competition on September 18, 1965, at the Brooklyn Academy of Music, New York City. Larry Scott won the first two titles. Moreover, the bodybuilders with the highest number of titles are Lee Haney and Ronnie Coleman. In the meantime, to make their entry into the market, the famous documentary, Pumping Iron, saw the buildup to the 1975 Mr. Olympia contest. It helped athletes like Arnold Schwarzenegger, Lou Ferrigno, and Franco Columbu.
<h2>Famous bodybuilders</h2>
There are several bodybuilders to grace the grand stage. But some bodybuilders achieved greatness with their astonishing bodies.
<ul>
 	<li><strong>Arnold Schwarzenegger:?</strong></li>
</ul>
The Austrian bodybuilder is one of the greatest bodybuilders of all time. The Austrian Oak is a seven-time bodybuilding champion and became an influential personality in the business. He then transitioned himself to various acting roles, became an investor, and was elected as the Governor of California. Some of his movies like Terminator 2, Commando, Twins, and Conan the Barbarian are some of his classics.
<ul>
 	<li><strong>Ronnie Coleman:</strong></li>
</ul>
Dubbed to be the greatest bodybuilder of all time, Ronnie Coleman put his life and soul into the sport. He is an eight-time Mr. Olympia winner and became the most dominant bodybuilder in the business. Netflix released a documentary featuring his life in the bodybuilding industry. His size and conditioning stood apart from everyone else. A true champion who wore his heart on his sleeve.

<ul>

Like Coleman, Lee Haney became an eight-time Mr. Olympia champion. He dedicated his body to the sport and was one of the most exciting bodybuilders on stage. Haney had a humongous waist size of 32.5 inches. Therefore, Haney deserves a special mention for his performances.
