He’s looking good, man.

John Goodman, 71, flaunted his 200-pound weight loss once again, stepping out for his birthday at the 62nd Monte-Carlo Television Festival.

“The Righteous Gemstones” actor, who served as the president of the fiction jury at the festival, donned a black tuxedo with a textured, white button-up shirt underneath.

Posing alongside fellow jurors at the Golden Nymph Awards ceremony on the red carpet, Goodman’s humor came out to play as he made comedic gestures as the cameras flashed.

The “Rosanne” actor wowed fans on Monday with his impressive transformation, appearing jolly on the black carpet in a vibrant canary tie.

At his heaviest, the “Argo” star tipped the scales at 392 pounds but has since shed more than half his body weight after embarking on a fitness journey in 2007.

He quit drinking, enlisting the help of a personal trainer, Mackie Shilstone, who pushed him to go the extra mile, adopting a Mediterranean diet and introducing regular exercise into his routine.

“People think this is overnight, but most people make a contribution to weight management, but they don’t make a commitment to it,” Shilstone, 72, told The Post on Tuesday.

Goodman had lost 85 pounds when he first began his health journey but quickly regained it after Hurricane Katrina struck — until Shilstone stepped in.

He took his client for a walk in a cemetery where there was empty land and handed him a shovel.

“I said, ‘John, here’s a shovel. You told me you’re going to recommit yourself and follow this plan,’” Shilstone continued. “I said, ‘I want you to dig your grave. Until you dig your grave, you won’t understand what it means to live.’”

Goodman previously described his former habits as “eating alcoholically,” always snacking or rewarding his hard work in the gym with beer.

“I just got tired, sick and tired, of looking at myself,” he told ABC News. “You’re shaving in the mirror and you don’t want to look at yourself. It gets dangerous.”

That’s when he pledged to turn his life around.

“[John’s] made a commitment to live his life,” Shilstone said. “To me, he is a model.”
