Goodman, 70, looked dapped in a fitted navy blue suit jacket, which he paired with beige trousers and a white dress shirt.

The actor, who served as the jury president at the festival, completed his red-carpet ensemble with a patterned yellow tie, dark sunglasses and brown loafers.

Goodman began his physical transformation in 2007 when his weight hit 400 pounds.

“In the old days, I would take three months out, lose 60 or 70 pounds, and then reward myself with a six-pack or whatever and just go back to my old habits,” he told ABC in 2017.

“This time, I wanted to do it slowly. Move, exercise. I’m getting to the age where I can’t afford to sit still anymore.”

“It takes a lot of creative energy to sit on your ass and figure out what you’re going to eat next,” Goodman told People in 2010.

“I wanted to live life better,” he added.

“This didn’t happen overnight — it’s been an ongoing process,” fitness guru Mackie Shilstone once said of his client’s progress.

“I wanted to live life better,” the actor, seen here in 2011, once said.

Goodman first revealed he had shed 100 pounds at the “Trumbo” premiere in 2015.

“It was basically just portion control and ‘I don’t need it,’” he explained to AARP in 2018.

“I was just shoving everything into my mouth.”
