In the bustling world of Hollywood film sets, where the glitz and glamour often overshadow the hard work and potential hazards, the veteran actor has recently reminded us that accidents can happen to even the most experienced stars.

At 72 years old, Goodman suffered a hip injury while working on an exciting new project in London alongside an ever-dynamic actor.


The incident at the renowned Pinewood Studios in Buckinghamshire, England, has been a stark reminder of the physical demands placed on actors, regardless of age.

John Goodman, known for his robust presence and versatility, reportedly blocked a scene when he slipped and required immediate medical attention.


This led to a brief pause in production, but according to a representative from the set who spoke with People, the delay was only temporary.

The rep assured fans and industry insiders that 'The production resumes shooting next week following John’s full recovery. '

This news is a relief to many who hold Goodman in high regard, not only for his acting prowess but also for his enduring contribution to the entertainment industry.


The untitled film, directed by the acclaimed Alejandro G. Iñárritu, is shrouded in mystery but promises to be a cinematic event.

With the working title of Judy, the project has already garnered attention for its high-profile cast, which includes Jesse Plemons and Riz Ahmed, alongside Cruise, who is set to play 'the most powerful man in the world.'

The plot, as listed on IMDB, teases a narrative where Tom Cruise's character, after causing a major disaster, embarks on a mission to prove himself as humanity's saviour.

While The Sun initially reported the accident as causing chaos and 'costly delays,' Deadline has since clarified that Goodman's injury was relatively 'minor' and that he was expected back on set promptly.

This is a testament to the resilience and dedication of seasoned actors like Goodman, who continue to pursue their craft with passion and commitment.


Goodman's fans can rest assured that his recovery is well underway, and they can look forward to his return to the screen.

In addition to this project, the Emmy winner has several other ventures in the pipeline, including voice work in the animated Smurfs series and a dark comedy titled Chili Finger, where he will star alongside Bryan Cranston and Sean Astin.

Meanwhile, Tom Cruise is gearing up for the release of Mission Impossible - The Final Reckoning, which is set to be a major event in the summer blockbuster season.

Cruise, ever the action hero, has been known to perform his stunts, and his collaboration with Goodman will be a highlight in both of their illustrious careers.

As we await further updates on Goodman's condition and the resumption of filming, it's important to remember the risks actors take to bring stories to life.


We wish John Goodman a speedy recovery and look forward to seeing him back in action.

After all, the show must go on, and with a cast as stellar as this one, the anticipation for the film's release in October 2026 is already building.
