John Goodman Injured on Tom Cruise Movie Set

John Goodman is on the road to recovery after a hip injury he sustained on the set of his latest film. Warner Bros. Pictures confirmed the incident, stating that the actor received swift medical attention, leading to a brief production delay. Filming is expected to resume next week, allowing Goodman time to fully recover. Talk about a tough break—literally.

The 72-year-old was working under the direction of acclaimed filmmaker Alejandro González Iñárritu at Pinewood Studios in England when the injury occurred. The untitled project, co-starring Tom Cruise, is slated for release on October 2, 2026. Cruise, ever the multitasker, is also listed as a producer on the film. According to the plot synopsis, the story involves "the most powerful man in the world causing a disaster and embarking on a mission to prove that he is the savior of humanity." Sounds like a wild ride, doesn’t it?

Iñárritu, the Oscar-winning director behind cinematic gems like "Babel," "Birdman," and "Bardo," has set the bar high once again, and Goodman’s involvement is sure to add depth to the project. However, the injury has shifted some of the spotlight away from the film itself to Goodman’s health.

Fans were already buzzing about Goodman’s recent dramatic transformation. The "Roseanne" alum has shed over 200 pounds since starting a health journey back in 2007. His slimmed-down physique has been the subject of headlines, with Goodman often sharing candid insights about his struggles and triumphs. In a 2023 interview, he humorously admitted that while the COVID-19 pandemic put a damper on his boxing workouts, he’s planning to get back into a fitness routine this summer. You’ve got to give it to the guy—he’s persistent.

Goodman’s weight loss journey hasn’t been without its setbacks. Reflecting on his earlier attempts, he once revealed how he would lose 60 or 70 pounds only to relapse into old habits. This time, however, he’s taken a slower, more sustainable approach, focusing on movement and consistency. "I’m getting to the age where I can’t afford to sit still anymore," Goodman once remarked. A sentiment we could all take to heart.

Here’s hoping the beloved actor makes a speedy recovery and returns to what he does best—delivering unforgettable performances. After all, the show must go on!
