John Goodman's finally spilling the tea on a buzz-worthy injury from the set of his movie with Tom Cruise earlier this year -- turns out it was so bad, he needed emergency surgery.

The 73-year-old says he’d just made a major acting breakthrough while filming a scene for Alejandro G. Iñárritu’s new untitled movie in the UK in March ... but as he was getting into position, in his stocking feet, and passed Tom, his legs suddenly gave out and he crashed to the floor, landing on his hip.

John revealed to The Hollywood Reporter he started fearing the worst when he tried getting up and couldn't -- prompting the on-set doc at the iconic Pinewood Studios to rush him to the hospital.

Michael Caine looks like he got a new set of wheels ... and he's breaking his new ride in with the help of the "Fast & Furious" star he considers a son -- Vin Diesel.

Michael and Vin broke bread together with their families at The River Café in Hammersmith, London ... and Michael was in a wheelchair, with Vin wheeling him around.

It's the first time we've seen the 92-year-old actor in a wheelchair ... previously, he was using a Zimmer walking frame to get from point A to point B. Michael also had a band-aid on his face at the dinner table.

"Superman" star David Corenswet is trolling the guy who plays his on-screen nemesis ... playfully chiding Lex Luthor actor Nicholas Hoult, who he says stole his style.

David stepped out Wednesday in New York City wearing an outfit that was awfully similar to what we saw Nicholas wearing last week ... black dress shoes, white trousers, white tank top, sweater tied over one shoulder and under the other armpit, black sunglasses, and a bag in hand.

Difference is ... Nicholas seemed to be taking the look very seriously, and David's totally trolling Clark Kent's longtime foe.

"Superman" hasn't even opened -- and it's taking a beating in conservative media over possible pro-immigration messages due to comments from the director ... and one former Superman says that super-sized mistake might hurt the box office.

Here's the deal ... James Gunn told The Sunday Times the movie is about an "immigrant" and "basic human kindness" -- a value he says we've lost as a country. Those remarks were pounced on by conservatives as a clear indicator the flick will be "woke" and preachy amid ICE raids via the Trump administration's relentless deportation efforts.

Dean Cain, who wore the red cape in "Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman," tells TMZ ... he was so excited for the new movie ... until Gunn had to break out the political Kryptonite -- and sour a portion of the fandom.

Michael Madsen was making enormous strides in his recovery from alcoholism ... right up until just before his tragic death.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... Madsen was sober in recent months, making a consistent and valiant effort to turn his life around. But, those close to him remain uncertain about his state of mind in the days leading up to his passing. Everyone around him was hoping and believed he was still working his program.

The beloved actor spent years in and out of rehabilitation programs as he battled alcohol addiction ... while also struggling with depression and grappling with personal hardships, like a troubled marriage -- and his son's untimely death. We are told he was constantly in and out of phases of trying to get his alcoholism under control.

Here is a 16-year-old version of sweet Scarlett with wavy hair at the West Coast premiere of "Ghost World" in Hollywood back in 2001 (left). This was one of her first movie roles to launch her successful career.

The question here is: Good Genes or Good Docs?!

The actor passed away Wednesday after a battle with cancer his wife, Kelly, told the outlet.

Michael Madsen's sons are gathering outside his Malibu home where he was found dead ... the emotions are coming out, and it's all on video.

As we reported ... Michael was found dead inside the house Thursday morning after someone called 911 to report him unresponsive. LASD deputies arrived and pronounced Michael dead at the scene.

American actress Marley Shelton was just 19 years old when she landed the role of Wendy Peffercorn -- the hot lifeguard in the red bikini ... and Squints' girl crush -- in the 1993 film "The Sandlot."

Michael Madsen's death is sending shockwaves through Hollywood ... and a bunch of celebs are remembering him with heartfelt tributes ... including his famous sister.

"Sideways" star Virginia Madsen says of her late older brother, "He was thunder and velvet. Mischief wrapped in tenderness. A poet disguised as an outlaw."

Virginia says Michael was a father, son and brother "etched in contradiction, tempered by love that left its mark." She says he's not a public figure but a "myth ... flesh and blood and ferocious art."

It's Tom Cruise's birthday today and we're celebrating his 63 trips around the sun with a look at some of his handsome shots and most amazing stunts through the years.

Tom's been giving Hollywood its adrenaline and action fix for going on four decades now ... and he's one of the highest-paid actors in the world for good reason ... his movies make bank.

Break out the red capes -- "Superman" crash-landed in London, and the whole star-studded squad assembled in style for the film's very first red carpet premiere.

The man, the myth, the Man of Steel -- David Corenswet was serving super sleek in a black suit with those classic red pops, striking poses with his on-screen Lois Lane, Rachel Brosnahan, as they took over Cineworld Leicester Square on Wednesday.

Rachel was va-va-vooming all over that red carpet in a glittering asymmetrical Armani Privé cut-out, serving main character energy as she posed among the mere mortals.

When "Back to the Future" premiered in 1985, it shot Michael J. Fox to stardom for his much-lauded portrayal of time-displaced teenager Marty McFly.

However, fans of the sci-fi-comedy franchise later learned that the role was almost filled by a different actor, Eric Stoltz, who actually spent a considerable amount of time on set portraying the character.

We're going to take a look back at how the film's cast was almost led by a different star -- and how its crew navigated the aftermath of the shakeup while working on the hit flick.

Canadian actor Liam James was 16 years old when he played Duncan -- the awkward, shy introverted teen whose lacking confidence because of his father's absence -- in the 2013 comedy/drama film "The Way Way Back."

Other notable cast members include Allison Janney and Maya Rudolph.
