John Goodman graced the premiere of Warner Bros. Pictures' Digger at Directors Village in Los Angeles on September 28. The actor was joined by his wife, Anna Beth Goodman, for the special occasion.

The 74-year-old looked suave in a sleek black suit that was layered over a crisp striped shirt and styled with a gray tie. Meanwhile, John's wife, Anna, opted for an equally glamorous approach to her red carpet sartorial agenda. The 57-year-old wore a purple gown that featured a flowing silhouette with ruched detailing, a high neckline, and short sleeves. She styled the dress with a simple black clutch.

Anna's long hair was styled into voluminous curls while her makeup oozed soft glam, courtesy of a bronze eye and a glossy lip.

Directed by Alejandro González Iñárritu, Digger is a satirical black comedy about the most powerful man in the world embarking on a mission to prove he is humanity's saviour. The film also stars Tom Cruise and Riz Ahmed. 

HELLO!'s TV & Film Editor Nicky Morris shared her expert insight into the new movie. "Tom Cruise trades his classic, action-hero image for prosthetics and ageing make-up in Digger, which marks his first major prosthetic character work since playing Les Grossman in 2008's Tropic Thunder. The Top Gun star is already generating Oscar buzz for his performance as wealthy oil tycoon Digger Rockwell, who embarks on a mission to save the world from an ecological disaster," she shared.

The actor proposed on the banks of the Mississippi River in New Orleans' French Quarter in 1988. "We knew it was coming for a while. We actually went to the jewelry store to get the ring before we went down to the river," John previously recalled.

The couple married at New Orleans' Saint Charles Avenue Presbyterian Church in 1989. The invited 650 guests and went on a three-hour cruise on a Mississippi riverboat, the Creole Queen.

John and Anna share one daughter, Molly Evangeline Goodman, who they welcomed in 1990. The family resides in New Orleans and split their time between the South and Los Angeles.

"I don’t want to say this to disparage Los Angeles because it’s a great city, I just didn’t want [Molly] growing up in a show business environment," John said on Off Camera with Sam Jones in 2021. "I had enough. So we found a secluded part of New Orleans and moved there. She went to a great school, and she loved it."
