John Goodman hasn't spoken to Roseanne Barr in "seven or eight years"

A new spin-off The Conners was then created with Goodman leading the cast.

He told The Hollywood Reporter: "I'd rather doubt if she wants to talk to me. We haven't talked for about seven or eight years.

"I didn't think [the Roseanne reboot] was going to go beyond the initial five or six episodes. I thought it'd be a one-off thing, and then we got picked up, and Roseanne got fired. I thought that was it, and as soon as they dismissed the cast, I picked up Righteous Gemstones. Then we got to do the show again as The Conners. I didn't know how long it would last, but I sure enjoyed it while I was there."

Despite their fraught relationship now, John revealed they hit it off immediately when they first began filming Roseanne in 1988.

He said: "We hit it off from jump street. She made me laugh, and I made her laugh, and wow, it was so much fun. We'd get so many viewers for the show back then - 20, 30 million people. Things are so different now, but it was a special time."

John also spoke about the hip injury he sustained earlier this year, while shooting Alejandro Iñárritu's new comedy with Tom Cruise.

He said: "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. 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. I tried to get back up, and when I couldn't do that, I started fearing the worst. I didn't know I had fractured it until we got X-rays."
