Hospitalised following an injury sustained on the set of a movie

Following a dramatic on-set mishap that halted production on his most recent film with Tom Cruise, Hollywood veteran John Goodman, 72, was taken to the hospital. Goodman reportedly sustained a hip injury following an unplanned fall while blocking a scene at Pinewood Studios in the United Kingdom.

John Goodman, a 72-year-old Hollywood veteran, isn’t going to slow down anytime soon. The well-liked actor is presently collaborating with Tom Cruise on a new movie, demonstrating that age is irrelevant when it comes to remaining involved in the business. Cruise plays a strong character who is on a quest to preserve humanity in the movie, which is tentatively titled Judy.

The film, which has been in development for about two months and is scheduled for release in October 2026, is directed by Oscar winner Alejandro González Iñárritu.

However, manufacturing has now been halted due to an injury. It would seem that the person injured was the daredevil Tom Cruise, who is well-known for pulling off his own feats. John Goodman, on the other hand, had to be admitted to the hospital due to a hip injury. He allegedly tripped or fell while blocking a scene, but it had nothing to do with the stunt.

It’s still unknown what specifically happened to John Goodman’s hip and how serious the damage was. According to The Mirror, the veteran was admitted to the hospital, but the actor is anticipated to return shortly, giving fans confidence that his recuperation is proceeding as planned.

He was given medical attention right away, which caused the shooting to be temporarily postponed to give him time to heal. After John has fully recovered, filming will continue the following week, according to a Warner Bros. Pictures representative.

Despite being a Hollywood legend and an Emmy and Golden Globe winner, John Goodman has struggled with alcoholism, anxiety, and melancholy behind the scenes. He suffered from panic episodes as a young actor after losing his father when he was only two years old, and he even drank on set when Roseanne was at her most successful.

But with his wife’s help, he entered a recovery centre in 2007 and has been sober ever since. Goodman not only conquered his addiction but also took charge of his health. He worked with trainer Mackie Shilstone and made a commitment to gradual, sustainable weight loss once he was close to 400 pounds. He changed his lifestyle, quit drinking, and began working out frequently.

He claims to have followed a Mediterranean diet that included fruit, vegetables, nuts, fish, and olive oil. Additionally, Goodman exercised five or six times a week. Goodman shed more than 100 pounds after he committed to a new diet and exercise regimen, and he now looks fantastic! “This has been a continuous process — it didn’t happen overnight,” Shilstone told the New York Post. “Strategic planning is required. He wanted to do it this time.

Even though it’s only March, Hollywood veteran John Goodman has had a difficult year. After an accident on the set of his most recent movie with Tom Cruise that stopped production, the 72-year-old actor was recently sent to the hospital.

His already difficult year has been made much more difficult by the fact that this occurs only months after a fire destroyed his Pacific Palisades home. As Goodman continues to persevere through this difficult period, fans are hoping for a speedy recovery.
