John Goodman describes fall on set of Tom Cruise movie that caused his hip injury: 'I started fearing the worst'
"It was a real accident. We had been working on the scene for a week and a half. I wasn't quite getting it right, and through a process, I finally made a breakthrough," the star of Argo and TV's just-concluded HBO series The Righteous Gemstones tells The Hollywood Reporter in an interview published Friday. "But after that, we were blocking it, and I was wearing stocking feet, like I had been for the last week and a half. I was passing Tom, and my legs just went on the floor, and I came up parallel to the ground and landed on my hip."
Goodman, 73, then did what anyone would do.
"I tried to get back up, and when I couldn't do that, I started fearing the worst," he says. "I didn't know I had fractured it until we got X-rays."
As EW reported at the time, Goodman was treated at a hospital.
"Actor John Goodman experienced a hip injury," a rep for the studio, Warner Bros., told Entertainment Weekly in March. "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."
In the new interview, Goodman explains his treatment.
"There was a brilliant doctor on set, and he got me into the Cleveland Clinic [in London]," the Big Lebowski actor says. "They operated the next morning, and so far, so good. Unfortunately, I was down for about a month there where I couldn't do anything, and it was driving me nuts. They found other things to do, and I finally got back into it."Goodman's latest project is animated movie Smurfs, in which he voices Papa Smurf. He costars alongside a star-studded cast that includes Rihanna, Nick Offerman, James Corden, Octavia Spencer, and more.
Smurfs arrives in theaters July 18.

Head-to-Toe White Is the Only Way to Dress for a Heatwave – Here's How to Do It, Brunello Cucinelli-Style
During a July heatwave, white isn't just a style statement, it's a smart strategy. Enter 'The Perfect Match', a new capsule collection by Brunello Cucinelli, created exclusively for Harrods and launched in style this weekend atop the store's helipad. While the edit isn't strictly head-to-toe white, it channels the same sun-friendly elegance – crisp, clean and quietly luxurious. Inspired by the grace of Wimbledon – and by the long-running partnership between the Solomeo-based brand and Harrods – the collection plays on contrasts: sport and style, tradition and modernity, relaxation and refinement. The tennis influence is clear in cotton polo shirts with striped collars, soft cable-knit vests and tailored Bermuda shorts – each in tones ranging from optic white to ivory and chalk. Cucinelli's genius lies in layering pale tones with subtle texture and depth – white paired with cloud-grey nylon trousers, a stone-toned blazer over a pearl tee, or pure silk tuxedo tailoring in shades just shy of cream. It's understatement, but artfully done. The key to wearing lots of white? Play with fabrics, not just shades. Think crisp cotton against slubby linen, or matte jersey next to silk twill – it's this contrast that stops your outfit feeling flat or, worse, you looking like The Man from Del Monte. Another perennial tip is to anchor the outfit with detail – a discreet logo, a tailored waistband, or a well-placed accessory – to avoid looking like you literally have wandered off Centre Court. The menswear in 'The Perfect Match' is built for movement and ease – featherweight cashmere, fluid cuts and clean lines that with some carefully selecting will work everywhere, from the boardroom to the beach. Cucinelli, long known as the 'philosopher king' of Italian fashion, believes dressing well is a form of respect. And this is elegance that thrives in the heat, not wilts under Might Also Like The Best Men's Sunglasses For Summer '19 There's A Smartwatch For Every Sort Of Guy What You Should Buy For Your Groomsmen (And What They Really Want)

HBO's new Harry Potter series will premiere in 2027
Warner Bros. Discovery's new Harry Potter series for HBO and HBO Max will premiere in 2027, the company announced. Production has started on the show in the UK. The show is set to be a 'faithful adaptation of the beloved Harry Potter books,' according to WBD, and the original Harry Potter movies will still be available on HBO Max. When the show was first announced in 2023, WBD said it would be a 'decade-long series.' WBD also released an on-set picture of Dominic McLaughlin, who is playing Harry Potter, in his Hogwarts robes. Newcomers Alastair Stout and Arabella Stanton will play Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger. The company announced some new cast members, too: Rory Wilmot will play Neville Longbottom, Amos Kitson will play Dudley Dursley, Louise Brealey will play Madam Rolanda Hooch, and Anton Lesser (who you might recognize as Lio Partagaz from Andor) will play Garrick Ollivander. WBD has trickled out other cast announcements over the past few months, including that John Lithgow will play Dumbledore. Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling, who has been heavily criticized for hurtful comments toward the transgender community, is serving as an executive producer on the series.

The Deeper Meaning Behind Kate Middleton's Dazzling New Ring Stack
When the Princess of Wales returned to royal duties following chemotherapy treatment last year, fans quickly clocked that she had added a new eternity ring to her collection, believed to be Cartier's Étincelle de Cartier wedding band. Over the past year, Kate has often been photographed wearing the $6,300 platinum ring, comprising 19 brilliant-cut diamonds and 19 brilliant-cut sapphires, in lieu of her more famous 12-carat oval-cut Ceylon sapphire engagement ring, which Prince William inherited from Princess Diana following her death. There was much discussion about why the Princess was wearing her new Cartier ring—often paired with her wedding band and another diamond eternity ring, believed to have been gifted by William to mark Prince George's birth in 2013—instead of her larger engagement ring. Perhaps it was simply a more everyday choice (Kate has tended to wear the latter at more formal events, such as last year's Festival of Remembrance at Royal Albert Hall.) The Princess of Wales wore her two eternity bands with her 12-carat oval-cut Ceylon sapphire engagement ring for the first time at Wimbledon over the weekend. But at Wimbledon at the weekend, Kate wore her engagement ring with both of her eternity rings, as well as her wedding band, for the first time. It comes as ring stacking is becoming increasing popular—particularly among new brides. 'We're increasingly seeing clients choose to style their eternity ring stacked with their engagement ring and wedding band, or wear it alone for a more relaxed look,' Eliza Walter, founder of Lylie Jewellery, tells Vogue. 'In warmer months or during summer holidays, many opt to wear just their wedding band and eternity ring together—a combination that feels both effortless and meaningful.' Of course, eternity rings are often deeply meaningful, traditionally bought to mark special milestones (there is speculation that Kate's Étincelle de Cartier wedding band was gifted to her by William to mark their 13th wedding anniversary last year). 'Eternity rings are a timeless symbol, a circle of precious metal traditionally set with stones all the way around, representing an unbroken bond and infinite commitment,' jeweler Rachel Boston explains. 'The continuous line of diamonds or gemstones is a reminder that, like the ring itself, true love has no beginning or end.' If Kate's choice of jewelry at Wimbledon is anything to go by, it seems that the ring stacking trend isn't going anywhere. All the better if each piece is imbued with sentimental value—a collection that's been inherited or built up over the years.
