John Goodman<\/a> is detailing his March injury<\/a> on the set of his upcoming movie with Tom Cruise<\/a> and Oscar-winning director Alejandro Gonz\u00e1lez I\u00f1\u00e1rritu<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“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<\/a> tells The Hollywood Reporter<\/a> 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.”<\/p>\n

Goodman, 73, then did what anyone would do.<\/p>\n

“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.”<\/p>\n

As EW reported at the time, Goodman was treated at a hospital.<\/p>\n

“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.”<\/p>\n

In the new interview, Goodman explains his treatment.<\/p>\n

“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.”<\/p>\n

Smurfs arrives in theaters July 18.<\/p>\n
