John Goodman’s Hip Injury: A Setback, But Not a Showstopper
John Goodman, the beloved actor known for his roles in “Roseanne” and “The Big Lebowski,” has faced yet another bump in the road—quite literally. While filming an untitled project under the direction of Oscar-winner Alejandro González Iñárritu at Pinewood Studios in the UK, Goodman took a fall that resulted in a hip injury. Thankfully, sources close to the situation have confirmed that the injury isn’t too serious, and the 72-year-old star is expected to return to filming by next week. Talk about a quick recovery!
Goodman’s unfortunate tumble is particularly jarring given his recent history of misfortunes, including losing his home in the Pacific Palisades wildfire earlier this year—a devastating event that affected several other celebrities, such as Mandy Moore and Billy Crystal. According to reports, the actor had to forgo attending the 50th anniversary celebration of “Saturday Night Live” due to his commitment to this film, making this injury all the more frustrating for both him and his fans.
The project itself boasts an impressive cast that includes Tom Cruise, Jesse Plemons, Michael Stuhlbarg, Sandra Hüller, and Riz Ahmed. While the film currently lacks a title, IMDb has provided a tantalizing plot synopsis: it centers around “the most powerful man in the world” who triggers a catastrophe and then sets out to prove he is humanity’s savior. One can only imagine the thrilling spectacle that awaits viewers, especially with Cruise’s penchant for outrageous stunts—he’s recently been spotted on set, possibly prepping for his next jaw-dropping scene.
In the world of cinema, injuries on set are far from uncommon, yet they never fail to rattle fans and colleagues alike. Thankfully, Goodman’s injury seems to be more of a hiccup than a catastrophe. As he continues to mend, one can only hope that this iconic actor, with a career spanning decades, will bounce back as resiliently as his characters often do. Here’s hoping for a swift recovery and a triumphant return to the silver screen!
