"He was my childhood!" DeLuise exclaimed on Instagram, sharing the photo. "A legend! I love that I can tell someone this. If you know, you know." The image showed a friendly and warm Goodman, but many commenters expressed surprise at his altered appearance.

"He looks different than he used to, but I think he's doing great," one user commented, while another asked, "Is that really him? I can't figure it out." Goodman's weight loss is the result of a long process that began years ago. He weighed nearly 180 kilograms (400 pounds) at his heaviest. In 2007, he quit alcohol and overhauled his lifestyle, though he has had past struggles with regaining weight and continuous eating.

He looks different than he used to, but I think he's doing great.

Goodman has spoken about his health journey, admitting in a 2016 interview with ABC that he didn't like seeing his reflection. Beyond dietary changes, he incorporated walking and boxing into his routine. The actor, famous for his role in the 1990s sitcom "Roseanne" and films like "The Big Lebowski," continues to work on new projects, including an upcoming film with Tom Cruise.

Is that really him? I can't figure it out.
