John Goodman, 72, was hospitalized after injuring his hip in a fall during a scene rehearsal at Pinewood Studios, UK, temporarily halting production on an untitled film, tentatively called “Judy,” directed by Alejandro González Iñárritu. The movie, set for release in October 2026, stars Goodman alongside Tom Cruise, Sandra Hüller, Jesse Plemons, and others, following a powerful man’s quest to save humanity after causing a disaster.
Warner Bros. confirmed Goodman received immediate medical attention, with filming paused for two days. He is expected to return to the set soon after a full recovery. Despite the injury, sources describe it as relatively minor, and Goodman’s resilience shines through.
Goodman’s health journey includes overcoming alcoholism in 2007, managing anxiety, and losing over 100 pounds through a Mediterranean diet and regular exercise. This year has been tough, with his Pacific Palisades home also lost to a fire. Fans remain hopeful for his swift recovery as he continues his storied career.
