John “The Tooz” Matuszak was just as famous in the ’80s for his hard-partying, larger-than-life persona as he was for his football game.īesides being an actor, he was an American professional football defensive lineman in the National Football League. John Matuszak played the character of Sloth in The Goonies. How Did The Real Life Sloth From The Goonies Look Like? He seemed to lack some intelligence, but that could have been because he was raised secludedly and dropped as a child twice. It can take several large male orderlies to subdue someone that is of even average size at a mental facility because they can get so strong.ĭespite having deformities, Sloth was very strong and was capable of love and kindness. They are not actually stronger, but they do not hold back. Tard strength is where someone who is mentally disabled seems to be a lot stronger than a normal person.

Minions from “Despicable Me” Were Inspired by Tortured Jewish Children-Fiction!Īs for Sloth’s enormous size, it could be attributed to something known as Tard Strength.

Because his mother did not care enough about him, he ended up getting dropped a lot. It is also probable that he was born as a special child. His later treatment by the Fratellis most likely caused the emotional trauma he exhibits later in the film. His appearance was perhaps a result of an infant brain injury which caused his physical deformity and mental handicap. Sloth’s face was deformed because he was dropped by his mother, Mama Fratelli when he was an infant. It was the reason why Chunk was at first petrified of him. He only has a couple of teeth, and his eyes are slanted with a part of his skull deformed. Sloth is an incredibly tall and muscular guy with distorted features.

So why does Sloth look like that? Why is he deformed? Why Is Sloth From The Goonies (1985) Deformed? In his appearance, Sloth is a behemoth of a man with distorted features. Sloth is a tall and huge-hearted superhero who comes to the Goonies’ aid every time, stopping the bad guys freeing the innocents risking his own life in the process. A scene which I cannot forget and is my absolute favorite is the fight on the pirate ship when Sloth comes to the rescue in his Superman shirt, the line when Sloth yells, “Hey you guuuuys!” Besides the well-developed set design and special effects, the film has a terrific cast with some big names in Hollywood. The Goonies (1985) is an all-time action-adventure family classic, in which a group of teens finds a hidden map in their attic that leads to an old pirate treasure.
