Fans have been talking about John Goodman’s illness because the actor has struggled with depression and drinking
JOHN GOODMAN suffered from alcoholism and depression for almost his entire life. He confessed “nothing” would stop him from having a drink if he had convinced himself to do so. He has also noted he looked like a “walking heart attack”. But since then, he has fought back against his demons and lived to tell the tale.
Earlier this week, on June 20, 2022, the legendary actor John Goodman turned 70-years-old. But before the Borrowers star became immensely famous by appearing in such pictures as The Flinstones, Blues Brothers, Raising Arizona, The Big Lebowski etc, the American star had become downtrodden with some painful personal issues.
Goodman has been very open about his struggles with alcoholism throughout his career. The star suffered from the illness for more than 30 years. And it hugely affected his life.
During an interview in 2012, he confessed the drinking was “certainly” affecting his acting work as well.
In what way?: “Temperament. Memory. Depression.”
