Overview

  • Goodman attended the star-studded Los Angeles premiere in a navy suit and brown loafers, marking his first public appearance since healing a hip injury on a film set in England.
  • He provides the voice of Papa Smurf alongside Rihanna’s Smurfette and a cast that includes James Corden and Nick Offerman.
  • His ongoing transformation traces back to 2007, when he quit alcohol and partnered with trainer Mackie Shilstone to embrace portion control and lifestyle changes.
