John Goodman Breaks Down His Most Iconic Characters | GQ

His voice will always be one to recognize without even seeing his face
Yup when I heard his voice in the new transformers movies I was like aye I know that voice. Its John Goodman. Mr " you just got your asses whooipped ( whipped ) by a bunch of godamn needs".
so true i heard it in the simpsons
Thank God you don't have to see his pathetic alcoholic face in Monsters inc. John Goodman is garbage and a traitor.
Roseanne ❤
@@ianheaser6865 you would know all about being garbage wouldn't you?
John Goodman is a freaking national treasure. Versatile, hard-working, kind, humble, and an acting legend in his own time.
💩
Absolutely agree, this video belongs in the Smithsonian on repeat.
He’s also a satanic scum bag
Thanks brah
@@oklahomiesmx168 I also enjoy cocaine and lady boys
The part that stands out to me is that no matter the film he was speaking about, he always had something good to say about someone else.
i noticed that too, didn't have anything negative to say about anybody. I'm sure he didn't get along with a few people here and there, but he kept it positive. a true class act
What was interesting to me was how much he connects the films he worked on with where he was at in his life at the time. More than what the films themselves mean to him or anything like that. A real "working actor" as they say. Such a great guy.
He never says anything negative about Roseanne Barr either. This despite Barr going extremely bonkers in the last 10 tears after drinking that Fox News Kool-Aid. She wasn't like that back in the days when they did the original series. Unfortunately she watched too much Conservative media and that screwed her up to the point that she's barely rational. Blaming everything on a drug or pill for her insane outbursts.
Also with Arkin, he doesn't say anything unkind but the way he phrases it basically comes off that it was not a good experience.
I think its a pretty good sign of his state of mind.
Despite his dislike making the film, John Goodman is still and always will be the perfect Fred Flinstone in my childhood!
"Yabba Dabba Doo"
It was the first movie I ever saw in a theater
Dan connor
I think he was saying he was not expecting to play him, and didn’t want to, but it also sounded like he enjoyed making the film, based on what he said about Rick.

John goodman is one of those dudes who is never thought of,
But when you're watching him he feels like someone you've known forever.
Huge testament to him as an actor and a human
Can i ask ...why the need to 'reveal' your comment ?
Ripped Torn idk what you mean by that.
But the comment section of videos is usually used for discussion.
Don't know if you're trolling or not but Hope this helps :)
Lol, i think about him all the time
Goodman is awesome, probably tied for first with Hanks for me, loved him in 10 Cloverfield Lane
Plus, he just seems like a cool guy, like, you want to hang out with him.
“I have a friendship with Peter O’Toole that lasts to this day even though he has the bad taste to remain dead”
Going drinking with o'toole would have been amazing
I lost it at that line. He says it so dryly too.
poetic
I know I've heard a similar quote somewhere but I'm coming up empty on Google. Its going to drive me crazy until I figure out to whom it's attributed.
@@ProudAnselmo try john cleese talking about graham chapman
He’s the real deal. Was at an awards show taping, they cut back to the host, and I realize I’m in John Goodmans seat. I go to get out, and he whispers in my ear,’ No. That’s no ones seat, but a ladies.’
His voice is so iconic. He can bring any story to life. Great performances after another.
John Goodman, the most underrated actor in Hollywood who's been in the most iconic films.
Not as underrated as Michael Biehn.
You're probably not wrong. He's that guy that shows up in movies and TV shows that everyone enjoys, but never talks about other than that.
Do you really think he's underrated? Maybe under appreciated
Why does everyone always call VERY WELL KNOWN people underrated???!!??!?!?!?!?!?!?! There is always ONE on every video!!! Please look up the definition of underrated!!!!
kamuelalee who chose to be on Roseanne. Oops
I will always remember John Goodman as a large actor but it is glad so glad to see him age so well and look healthy.
Carter Johnson I always thought he would passed early like John Candy. Glad he’s still here. Good actor.
It's amazing what money can do...
@@circleofsorrow4583 I know wealthy people who take their health for granted. He decided to take control of his life
CircleOfSorrow Its amazing what self control can do too.
CircleOfSorrow don’t need money to be healthy
Im a South African. I grew up watching Mr Goodman. He is easily in the top 10 greatest American actors ever!
That’s awesome.
Well said
His voice just makes me feel so many emotions. I hear Dan Conner and remember my childhood, I hear Walter Sobchak and want to laugh and then I hear Fred Flinstone and just remember watching that film in the cinema with my siblings. A terrific actor.
I can’t explain it but seeing him this old and dignified actually touched me quite a bit
I know what you mean.
bump
He's older and thinner and more worn but somehow looks more healthy.
Dignified is not turning your back on somebody that helped completely alter your career path for the better and likely led to you having far more success than you otherwise would have.
@@competetodefeat4610 dignified isn't making racist remarks, blaming it on Ambien, and screwing over your cast mates without whom you never would have achieved any kind of success whatsoever.
Underrated guy , he must be one of the best actors who hasnt been Oscar nominated. So many great performances in so many iconic films.
What’s just as sad is that he was Emmy nominated like 4 times for Roseanne and never won
@@jennifersman7990 Yeah roseanne was a little before my time, and im english where it wasn't quite as popular as in the US. But ive watched a few episodes and i thought he was great as Dan. At least he did win the Golden Globe for it.
@@jennifersman7990 7 times
Oscars are worthless now anyways!
Steve Buscemi is another one too. There is a whole bunch of actors who everyone knows, but somehow still don’t get the recognition they deserve (basically, the entire cast of Monsters Inc and almost every Coen Brothers movie)
Edit: typo
Even tho he had a smaller role in Community, it was still a very powerful and convincing character for me. I know it's not in the top list to talk about since he had such a rich career but I loved his role in it.
I hope they bring him and that story for Troy back in the movie
I wanted him to talk about "The borrowers", "Coyote ugly" and "Emperor's new groove"
I wanted to hear his take on the movie "death sentence"
And Fallen.
Well he doesn't really play a big part in Coyote Ugly.
@@danielduncan6806 one of his best roles I thought great movie so underrated though
@@danielduncan6806 Yeah, I forgot about Fallen. But I very much him wanted him to talk about Always too, even if he mentionned it.
I’m still not used to John goodman being thinner
it was shocking but I envy him cause I really wish I could loose some.. I just haven't found my get up and go yet.
Yes it almost too much weight lost !
I was under the assumption it was gastric bypass because he lost so much weight. Then I googled it and it turns out he just dieted! Well done - that’s not easy. I’m not used to seeing him thin also but I am glad he did it because now we can likely enjoy many more of his performances.
@I'm Your President , how is it "hard" to look at?
@@jcp1984again Because being that thin is associated with sickness. No one wishes sickness on people. Do you look at an anorexic and think, "oh that's healthy"? No, no is the answer.
I feel like it’s such a disservice that’s he’s not even nominated at the Oscar to him, to us and to the movie industry. The guy always brings 100% and it’s always fun
The Oscar is a joke and has no real value. He is a greate actor and an Oscar doesn't change anything
@@MrMarc1991
You are absolutely correct
My favorite John Goodman role was him as Pops Racer in Speed Racer. Really brought it to life.
Sammmmme
Was that a ninja?!?
More like a non-ja. Sad to think about what passes for a ninja these days.
There is not a person alive who could dislike John Goodman. He's so awesome.
Dude is super underrated.
Smokey this ain’t ‘Nam, this is bowling, there are rules
OVER THE LINE
Mark it zero!!!
You are in a world of pain.
Give me the pen, I'm marking it 8
Where's your car Dude ?
John Goodman has a satisfying voice imo.
this is true
But Midnight Club is still canceled why R*?
@@chumbawaumbacumpa WTF? Who cares?
@eins2001 Midnight Club Still Canceled Soz cares
420th comment like HAYYOOOO
First John Goodman movie I’ve ever watched was The Flintstones when I was a kid back in the 90s.. I loved him as Fred.. as I got older I definitely became a fan of him and his craft.. you can recognize his voice anywhere! He was so great in 10 Clover Lane, Flight and Argo! So talented yet a class act!
Mine was king Ralph
These are some of my favorite movies of all time. Raising Arizona, Monster's Inc, O'Brother Where Art Thou, the Big Lebowski. I never get tired of watching them! Thank you Mr Goodman!
John Goodman more like john greatman am I right?
urite
Yes. He is the most underrated actor. Man!
@@nurlindafsihotang49 he's also quite an underrated voice actor as well
Would be nice to have him as a Bestman ;)
KITTY!
Doesn't matter if it's a sitcom, a Coen-brothers movie or the f...ing flinstones, John Goodman always delivers.
Hearing John Goodman was a main character in 10 Cloverfield Lane was an instant sell for me. One of my favorite actors of all time.
He is always great. My parents saw him on Broadway and said how amazing he was.
He's 'money in the bank'. 👍
One of those actors where you don't notice he is acting. He's an all time great! Always feels like your watching a real person and not an actor.
“You’re out of your element Donnie!”
One of the best line ever
I will forever love John Goodman. He seems like a great guy and he's a wonderful actor.
Remember what happened with, uh... Jesus, pick an actor these days tbh. Realistically we don't know what kind of person any of them actually are.
He is a good man. It's in the name.
He stank in Cloverfield. To be fair, the movie stank.
A national treasure
@jmarks881 senseless vitriol. Got any new zingers to toss out there?
You Guys should bring Directors to breakdown their iconic movies.
Junayed Alam they already make those lol
You'd be surprised how many directors are not great on camera. A lot of them are behind camera because they like it that way.
Directors and the screenwriters too.
Icons are religious symbols. Dummy
Spielberg - every movie he made
Man I really wish I got more out of him for O Brother, Where Art Thou... one of the greatest movies of all time
John Goodman is one of those great iconic actors that you’d love to be able to reverse the aging process for just so you could continue to keep him around for your selfish entertainment needs. I still see John Goodman as he appears in early Rosanne episodes but the oh brother and big Labowski roles were truly my favorites what an awesome resume
Is it just me or can you just... listen to John Goodmans voice for hours. It’s just soo soothing and nice.
Either way. Such a great actor and person
It's simultaneously gravelly and comforting, like listening to a Grandfather you never knew you had but had secretly been helping your life behind the scenes all along.
Hope this helps.

He was also in Transformers Age of Extinction.
I came to this video waiting for Speed Racer, and here your comment is to wreck my life
Aaaw, no Matinee? That movie was actually really cool.
I wish they did Coyote Ugly
My takeaway - John Goodman gives waaaay too much credit to the script. But i respect the humility
Definitely very humble. Just makes me like him more, honestly.
He's not humble to fans or interviewers.
I didn’t call him a humble person, I was pointing out the humility shown in this video by giving all the credit to scripts.
Unless you know the guy personally, you’re not in any position to make judgment calls about his character. That’s part of what’s wrong in the times we live in
@Bill Barnicke you sound like the POS. Holier than thou dickhead
"Even though he has the bad taste to remain dead" (referring to peter o'toole) is one of the best quotes I've ever heard.
One of my favorite actors of all time and still criminally underrated somehow
Infra Minced Icons sneak up on us sometimes. I think that’s what Sam Jackson did. Everyone loves Goodman, but many just haven’t yet realized it. All the pieces are in place though...
Underrated by anyone without a brain or a heart.
Such a great actor. And I love how he sincerely seemed to love and appreciate the people he worked with like Rick Moranis, Peter O'Toole, John Turturro, Billy Crystal, and Jeff Bridges. I'll watch him in any Coen brothers movie anytime..
And Roseanne
Well, Rick Moranis is just one of the best people ever.
Just putting this here for fun: John Goodman makes a appearance at 1:13 in Wild Wild Life ( _Talking Heads, 1986_ ). ruclips.net/video/bWP07YgUWig/видео.html
I always felt confused between John Goodman and Jeff bridges.
@@cosmicwanderer891 ? They were both in The Big Lebowski but that's about it.
He was absolutely crazy in Barton fink that performance stuck with me as a kid.
I don't really know much about Goodman but he is such a badass. He's made such an incredible transformation
John Goodman is on my short list of people we need to find immortality for. Such a charming, humble, kind man with grace to boot.
“Even though he has the bad taste to remain dead” ugh what a golden line
can somebody translate this for me, i dont get it
@@veloc.raptor9136 peter o'toole passed away, and this is John's way of expressing that he still considers himself Peter's friend. He is implying that Peter has "chosen" to remain dead, as if it were something he can change, which is the sad humor of it, since we know that's not possible.
I liked "150lbs overweight, sweating battery acid"
10 Cloverfield Lane is one of the best movies I’ve ever seen. John Goodman’s such a transformative actor 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
been a while since I've actually seen john goodman. was insanely surprised to see he lost so much weight. good on him
Seeing young John Goodman singing gave me unexpected feels.
That man is just a treasure.
He will always be Fred Flintstone to me. One of my favorite childhood movies.
*WILLLLLLLLLLLLMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA*
yabadabadoo!
Yabba Dabba
As bad of a rep the movie gets I felt like he was the perfect Fred and Moranis was the perfect Barney. It's also not as bad as people make it to be.
Same
One day we're gonna lose him, and we're gonna wonder why we didn't give him more love.
Barton Fink is one of the most underrated films ever. You gotta see it if you haven’t. If you like the Coen brothers, you’ll like it.
No mention of The Emperor's New Groove?
same lol wondering where Pacha is
@Bio Kimistry I really need to watch that again
Probably he wouldn't like to talk about that one. The production was a living nightmare.
@@santiagobauza4257 Which? Emperor's New Groove or Princess and the Frog?
@@Betta66 ENG. It was originally a completely different film called Kingdom of the Sun. There's a documentary about the production process of that film called The Sweatbox.
Goodman in Barton Fink was absolutely mesmerizing. If you haven't seen that film, you need to. Now.
Where can I watch it?
@@chatteyj you can rent it for 3.99 on VUDU and Amazon Prime Video. It's worth the price.
Yeah it's one of the best Coen films, and that's saying a lot. Anything with their name on it is worth watching.
man growing up watching Roseann and i gotta say i love john goodman he seems like just a pleasant guy to be around.
One of the greats. I can watch John Goodman in anything
Jenny K Really????..Even in King Ralph???..The Flintstones????
He was snubbed for a Best Actor Oscar nom for 10 Cloverfield Lane. Let’s be honest.
Totally agree, he was awesome in that movie. I think they made a mistake putting Cloverfield in the name, it was a cheap marketing gimmick for a classy movie.
He doesn't have to go mental to play a big dignified masculine energetic character, but he can do natural restraint and directed madness.
Since you mentioned it, he looks so different now compared to 2016. Looks like he aged about 10 years.
He has done better movies/roles than that.
Same with Mcavoy for Split and Glass
To me John Goodman is one of the absolute best actors of my lifetime.
It seems like I know the man, he's been around since forever.
If I see John Goodman in a film, Johns presence always instantly makes the movie more interesting. He's one of my favorite actors for sure.
Why the heck doesn't GQ go in chronological order? I've watched all of these and it mystifies me.
Probably because they hope people will sit through the whole thing instead of jumping to one movie.
Vanderblade it bothers me too bro lol
Amen
When you have a conversation going through memory lane with anyone, do you go in chronological order?
@@dandydrew613 This is not memory lane. It's a professional interview based on his career.
I'm amazed at how well he remembers his characters and with such detail. Wow.,
A case of remember the script?
The part that stands out to me is that no matter the film he was speaking about, he always had something good to say about someone else.
@Bill Barnicke why’s that?
Well...people remember things better when theyre there
I mean, when you're working on a movie for (sometimes) years, you tend to remember it.
Man. He’s been in so many movies, there are still so many I wish he’d talked about. Like working with Scorsese in “Bringing Out The Dead.” Or “Trumbo,” “Kong: Skull Island,”. Prolly a dozen more. He’s so iconic. One of the finest, most talented, most original actors in the history of American cinema. Plus all those years on a groundbreaking, #1 TV show. What a master.
John Goodman will always be Dan Connor for me. Such a underrated and iconic show!
Dan, Dan, the drywall man.🙂
Cloverfield lane is one of my favorite movies just because how badass John was in it.
He was terryfying
The ending stunk to high heaven but the rest of the movie was really, really good. He nailed that role to the wall.
I was gonna say that to. he nailed the acid scene
Such a great actor, and truly comes across as a cool, laid back guy. Keep the amazing performances coming John!
He seems like the nicest guy. Always has kind words for everyone he works with. I Loved him as Dan on Rosanne. I have a serious crush.
Loved John Goodman since my first memories of movies and TV. So amazingly talented and every interview I see, he is down to earth, deep, respectful and kind words for the people in his life. Classy legend.
John Goodman was robbed. He should have gotten an Oscar for The Babe, It's still one of my all time favorite movies. He didn't just play him, he really was the great bambino.
This guy had an amazing career and he doesn't fit any of the conventions of a leading man. God bless John Goodman
Literally blown away. I've seen almost all his movies and acknowledged him as an actor. But as you look back at all the film's, they would not be the success they were without Goodman.
I like the way he explain how he feels about voice acting and how it’s fun and tiring. He seems to be very upfront about his feelings.
I like the way Goodman gives such positive views of his directors and fellow actors. He seems like a really good man.
One role I always remember him for was The Big Easy.
Glad he could talk about True Stories for a bit, such an underrated film.
😎 He'll always be Louis "The Bear" Fyne to me! 😉
So humble and natural- he puts his successes down to wonderful scripts and directors and other actors. This man is a treasure.
I recognized his incredible talent as a child, growing up on Roseanne. His acting was so realistic. I fell in love with him. Just an incredible actor. When I saw 'The Big Lebowski', I was roaring! To this day, Walter Sobcheck one of my favorite characters of all time!
such a straight forward guy. not pretentious or full of ego
The humble actors are always the most fascinating to listen to. It's always nice to see someone compliment the people they've worked with, since making a movie is after all a team effort.
I was hoping for him to talk about Storytelling though.
Look up Jim Broadbent being interviewed. He seems so shy he can almost not get words out, but he's fascinating! I think he really needs acting to be able to have a voice.
I love his honesty when talking about each film.
he steals films. He is so magnetic in his roles. Love him. So underrated.
His voice performance on Monster's Inc was incredible and convincing.
One of the most under-rated actors, loved his performance in the Big Lebowski.
Hope he's keeping healthy.
My neighborhood was undergoing gentrification when I watched Barton Fink. I started bawling unexpectedly and uncontrollably when Goodman began his last dialogue with Turturro. Goodman’s words and face explained that particular kind of loss better than I could.
They should have him on Audible lol
I think what annoys me about audible is ITS ON EVERY ADVERT!!!
@@palmeristo Did you know that with their free trial, the first book is free? I really do use this service, and I think you'll enjoy it. Maybe you want to start with a biography of John Goodman. 😉 Just kidding, I actually do like audible, but the ubiquity of their sponsorships is out of hand.
“Smokey my friend, you’re entering a world of pain. A world of pain”
His smile is the absolute best. When he gets the squint really going. I just want to hug him.
Always interesting to see a actor like this I grew up with John Goodman. To see a spread of material like this and the evolution of the acting.
It’s great seeing how experienced and professional he is regarding his career and the people he’s worked with. And how open he is to improvement
I absolutely love that his actual personality is deferent then his actin personality. Great actor. So many main actors are almost the same as their off camera persona.
I wish he would have talked about his character on the West Wing. I thought he hit a great balance of outwardly playing the stereotype of a callous self-important politician while subtly showing signs that he really cared about his country and its people.
He played that part with more depth than I think the audience expected.
Yes! That was a real surprise when Jeb Bartlett invoked the 25th Amendment and he showed up as the Speaker of the House and said “...You’re through here, Mr. President...” in that deep voice of his
jennifersman “You are relieved, Mr. President.”
Dean of the air-conditioning school at Greendale is surely John Goodman's most iconic role?
"Soon Troy and Abed will be torn asunder, and an unencumbered Troy will turn to his destiny...."
"Isn't that right black Hitler?"
He's more iconic for being Fred Flintstone
My childhood was made with the borrowers, monsters inc, flinstones and emporers new groove
I remember he did a streetcar named desire, he has a great range. His voice has become more and more soothing as time goes. His yelling voice was always funny, too
Love John Goodman. Can't picture Dan Conner as any other actor, and I think he was perfect as Fred Flintstone.
This man is a treasure and should get a lifetime achievement award
"You See what happens Larry..."
When you find a stranger in the Alps?
@@Charmolution two words: Clas Sic
"8 year Olds, Dude"
I was so excited to see him in 10 Cloverfield Lane
john goodman is one of my favorite actors ever, i love him so much. I've only ever cried about 2 celebrities passing away (steve irwin and robin williams) but i know i'm gonna be a mess when john goodman passes. he almost feels like family because he's been around my whole life and has played so many important characters to me
i met him in the 2010s when he was in Waiting for Godot and he was super kind and humble.
The way he remembers every role intimately is amazing. No matter how long ago. He truly remembers them.
Much love to John Goodman, I think he really is a good man.
Fallen, with Denzel Washington... when he gets possessed. Very memorable.
Beautiful Beavis yeah. I was really hoping we would get to hear him talk about this role.
Agree. When I think to John Goodman, I see him singing "Time is on my side" :)
And so good in Sea of Love!
I have never seen a role John Goodman has done that I didn't like. Nothing. John Goodman is an acting God.
What an awesome career. I’m loving him in Righteous Gemstones. Can’t wait for season 2. That show is sooooo underrated. It’s my favorite comedy currently on air.
This is the first time I’ve watched one of these and have seen every project talked about in the video. What an awesome career. It’s crazy to me that I’m almost 32 and he’s been in my favorite movies since I was a little girl.
Although I am bummed that he didn’t cover his brief roll in Community because that remains one of the best surprises I’ve ever had in a tv show.
John Goodman has a part in "Sea of Love" with Al Pacino and he steals the show. It's not one of Al Pacinos top movies but a good one and John Goodmans role definitely is one of the highlights!
He worked with Pacino again in "You Don't Know Jack", a Barry Levinson's movie about Jack Kevorkian.
@@felipepsyco35 Nice. I have heard about that movie. Is it good?
Sea of Love should have totally been mentioned
He was excellent sidekick character in Always
