CNN —John Goodman is looking decidedly more svelte these days. “The Righteous Gemstones” star, who turns 71 on Tuesday, appeared at the 62nd Monte-Carlo TV festival Sunday in top form. Goodman reportedly started working on his health back in 2007, when he stopped drinking. Six years later, he told critic Peter Travers, “I just stopped eating all the time.”“I’d have a handful of food and it’d go to my mouth. And it gives me the energy to work, ‘cause work is very draining.”He served as jury president this year for the Monte-Carlo TV festival.
