Barr’s no racist: Actor

-

JOHN Goodman is speculatin­g that the Roseanne spinoff will mean curtains for the matriarch played by Roseanne Barr.

In an interview with the Sunday Times of London, Goodman said he wasn’t sure how the new series, titled The Conners, will be structured.

But he guessed that his character will be “mopey and sad” because his wife has died.

Goodman played husband Dan Conner to Barr’s character on ABC’s original Roseanne as well as last season’s revival.

The network fired Barr after she posted a racist tweet, for which she apologised.

However, she has said she was misinterpr­eted.

Goodman (above) said he’s certain Barr isn’t a racist.

The Conners spinoff was announced by the ABC after Barr agreed to relinquish any participat­ion in it.

A representa­tive for Goodman didn’t immediatel­y respond to a request for comment.
