Acting legend John Goodman, 72, is recovering after suffering a nasty injury while he was filming scenes for a new movie in England with Tom Cruise. According to a representative from the set, the veteran actor suffered a 'hip injury' and 'received immediate medical attention that led to a brief delay in shooting to allow him time to recover' - and he is expected to return to filming next week.
The star reportedly slipped while filming and was taken to the hospital for treatment, halting filming for two days. The project he is working on with action star Tom is as yet untitled, but has the working name 'Judy' and is being directed by Mexican filmmaker Alejandro G. IƱƔrritu at Pinewood Studios, in Buckinghamshire.

In the film's plot listed on IMDB, Tom Cruise, 62 - whose next project to hit the big screen is Mission Impossible - The Final Reckoning, plays 'the most powerful man in the world.' After he causes a major disaster, the character 'embarks on a mission to prove that he is the saviour of humanity.' Jesse Plemons and Riz Ahmed have also been cast in the action adventure, which Warner Bros. has currently scheduled for release in October 2026.
Goodman, whose HBO show The Righteous Gemstones makes its season four debut on Sunday, has not released a statement about the incident. The black comedy tells the story of a world-famous televangelist family, the Gemstones, who do not practise what they preach and use their ministry to fulfil their selfish motives and hide shocking secrets.

The actor has previously struggled with weight and health issues, including obesity, high blood pressure, sleep apnea, and type 2 diabetes, leading to his dramatic weight loss -over the course of a decade, and beginning in 2007. He put his incredible physical transformation down to quitting alcohol, adopting a Mediterranean diet, and incorporating regular exercise like boxing and daily dog walks.
In a 2023 interview, Goodman revealed that he has lost a total of 200 pounds, having first revealed to David Letterman in 2011 that he was āpushing 400ā pounds s at his heaviest. āIād get off of Roseanne every spring. Iād lose 60 pounds every spring [but] Iād gain it back and then some, every year,ā he told the late-night host at the time.
At the start of his journey, Goodman hired health coach Mackie Shilstone who helped him cut out sugar and hit the gym six days a week. The actor, whoās also been candid about his struggles with alcoholism in the past, also quit the booze after checking into a rehabilitation center in 2007.
