John Goodman makes his West End stage debut at the Wyndham's theatre in London later this month, something he hadn't expected to happen.

He said the prospect had seemed "like an impossible dream".

Goodman said acting had given him an opportunity to express himself.

He loved to make himself laugh as much as his live audiences, he added, but would never consider doing stand-up comedy.

"I don't have the testicular fortitude for stand up," he said.
