John Goodman’s Health

In March 2025, People reported the news of John’s hip injury. According to the outlet, the actor was given time to recover, with a spokesperson from the Warner Bros. Pictures movie confirming in a statement, “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.”

It’s unclear how John was injured on the set of the untitled production. According to IMDb, the film follows the “most powerful man in the world [who] causes a disaster and embarks on a mission to prove that he is the savior of humanity.”

During a subsequent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, John said he “started fearing the worst” about his on-set injury, calling it a “real accident.” The actor revealed that his hip had been fractured.

Throughout his career, John has spoken candidly about struggling with alcoholism. During a 2012 interview with The Guardian, the actor, who voices Sulley in Monsters Inc., revealed that he checked himself into a rehabilitation facility in 2007 to seek help.

“It was getting to be too much,” John said. “It was 30 years of a disease that was taking its toll on everyone around me, and it had got to the point where, every time I did it, it was becoming more and more debilitating. It was life or death. It was time to stop.”

When asked whether his alcoholism was affecting his work, John confirmed that it “certain was” and pointed to, “Temperament. Memory. Depression.”

In the years to come, John also lost weight. By 2024, multiple outlets reported that he had lost around 200 pounds.
