The seasoned actor is currently working on a film project with Tom Cruise, though production has been temporarily halted due to his injury.
John Goodman, 72, was recently hospitalized after an incident at Pinewood Studios, Bucks, while filming a movie in the United Kingdom. He reportedly fell while blocking a scene, but his injury was not related to a stunt.

A Warner Bros. Pictures spokesperson confirmed, “Actor John Goodman experienced a hip injury. 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.”
Despite the delay, production is moving forward. The film — working title “Judy”— stars Tom Cruise, as a powerful figure trying to save humanity. Directed by Oscar winner Alejandro González Iñárritu, it has been filming for nearly two months and is set for an October 2026 release.
