Veteran actor John Goodman, 72, was rushed to the hospital after suffering a hip injury on the set of his latest film with Tom Cruise. The incident occurred at Pinewood Studios in the UK, where Goodman reportedly fell while blocking a scene. Fortunately, he received immediate medical attention, and production has been temporarily halted to allow him time to recover.
According to a Warner Bros. Pictures spokesperson, Goodman is expected to make a full recovery and return to filming next week. The film, tentatively titled Judy, stars Cruise as a powerful figure on a mission to save humanity and boasts an impressive ensemble cast, including Sandra Hüller, Michael Stuhlbarg, Jesse Plemons, and Sophie Wilde.
This film marks a major return to Warner Bros. Discovery for Cruise, who signed a development and production deal earlier this year. With his recent successes in Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning and Top Gun: Maverick, fans are eagerly anticipating the release of Judy.
Goodman, an Emmy and Golden Globe winner, has faced his share of challenges in the past, including depression, anxiety, and alcohol addiction. However, with the support of his wife, he has remained sober since 2007 and has also undergone a remarkable transformation, losing over 100 pounds through a combination of diet and exercise.
This latest setback comes at a challenging time for Goodman, who recently suffered a house fire in the Pacific Palisades. Fans are sending their best wishes for a swift recovery as he navigates this difficult period.
