Call this a belated Birthday tribute.
One of the best things that John Goodman does is get angry. I would be absolutely in fear of that man if I ever got yelled at by him. Not only that but the bouts of anger usually seem to come with thought out explanation, and if they don’t then you probably don’t want him to repeat himself. Basically if you get in a shouting contest with Goodman, you aren’t going to win. Example: “SHUT THE F*CK UP, DONNY!”
Yesterday Goodman turned 61 years young so to celebrate his greatness I thought it would be great to post this supercut of the several moments in film when the actor lost his shit. If you recall I also brought you “Gary Oldman Loses His Shit” a couple months back (thanks again to Jason Bailey).
I loved Goodman on ROSEANNE but “THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU FUCK A STRANGER IN THE ASS, LARRY!” from THE BIG LEBOWSKI has got to be my favorite rage moment.
