Actor John Goodman says the sudden fame he gained after starring on “Roseanne” left him frightened and unsettled. In interviews, the 74-year-old reflects on how quickly his public profile changed and how he found himself struggling to adjust.
Goodman characterizes his response as partly self-inflicted, saying he was his “own worst enemy.” He describes the shift from being an actor to becoming a celebrity as something that shook his sense of self. Across coverage, the focus is on his personal account of feeling overwhelmed by attention tied to the show, rather than on any specific dispute or new project.
