Hollywood veteran John Goodman, 72, is facing a temporary setback after a sudden accident on the set of his latest film. The incident occurred at Pinewood Studios in the UK, where Goodman reportedly suffered a hip injury after an unexpected fall while blocking a scene.
Production on the film, tentatively titled Judy, has been halted to allow Goodman time to recover. The movie, directed by Oscar-winner Alejandro González Iñárritu, stars Tom Cruise alongside Goodman and boasts an impressive ensemble cast.
According to a Warner Bros. Pictures spokesperson, Goodman received immediate medical attention and is expected to make a full recovery. “He received immediate medical attention that led to a brief delay in shooting to allow him time to recover. The production resumes shooting next week following John’s full recovery.”
This highly anticipated film marks a major return to Warner Bros. Discovery for Tom Cruise, who has been on a roll with blockbuster projects, including Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning and Top Gun: Maverick.
Behind the scenes, John Goodman has been open about his struggles with depression, anxiety, and alcohol addiction. However, in 2007, he checked into rehab and has remained sober ever since. Goodman has also taken control of his health, losing over 100 pounds through a combination of diet and exercise.
This year has been tough for Goodman, with his house in the Pacific Palisades being destroyed in a fire just months ago. Fans are hoping for a swift recovery as Goodman continues to power through this challenging time.
The incident serves as a reminder of the risks involved in filmmaking, even for seasoned professionals like John Goodman. As production resumes next week, fans will be eagerly awaiting the release of Judy, which promises to be an exciting addition to Tom Cruise’s filmography.
