À propos de cet audio
In the past few days, Morgan Freeman has made headlines with a rare public appearance on The Jennifer Hudson Show that sparked widespread discussion among fans and media about his health. Several outlets including The Black Information Network, The Express, and AOL have focused on Freeman’s visibly slower and more fragile walk down the show’s “spirit tunnel,” with social media buzzing about his apparent frailty at 88 years old. Fans commented with concern, noting he "looked so tired" and some worried he could fall, while many others saw beauty in witnessing a beloved icon growing old, expressing admiration that he still walks and works without assistance. Freeman was all smiles on stage, stylishly dressed, and responded wryly to Hudson on the subject of daily routines, saying, "Get up," and reflecting with humility and humor about still working to perfect his golf swing. He acknowledged that “you can always improve”—an ethos he applies to both acting and golf, again embracing the beauty and challenge of aging according to People and Face2Face Africa.
These observations have reignited awareness of Freeman’s health history. He suffers from fibromyalgia, developed after a severe car accident in 2008 that left lasting nerve damage and partial hand paralysis—a condition he’s spoken about before. Fans debated his well-being, with some expressing sadness over his aging, others defending his resilience and positivity, and many simply celebrating that he’s present and engaged in public life. On social media, clips from the Hudson appearance went viral and Freeman’s own posts plus supportive commentary have kept him in the spotlight.
On the business and cultural front, Freeman’s commitment to the blues remains a driving force. Multiple sold-out live events are scheduled, most notably "Morgan Freeman Presents Symphonic Blues Experience," where Freeman both narrates and hosts multimedia concerts merging Mississippi Delta blues with symphonic orchestration at venues including the Mary Stuart Rogers Theater and Riverside Theater, with his appearance drawing enthusiastic crowds. These shows showcase Freeman’s role as co-founder of Ground Zero Blues Club, a hub for blues heritage in Clarksdale, Mississippi, and underscore his dedication to preserving and celebrating the music and stories from his roots, as highlighted in AXS, Werklund Centre, and Stanford Events coverage. His deep ties to the region and its culture continue to mark his biographical legacy.
Freeman has also teased his upcoming return to film, reprising his role as Thaddeus Bradley in "Now You See Me: Now You Don't," set for theatrical release on November 14. While his on-screen presence and live events demonstrate enduring creative ambition, public focus is now equally on his personal journey—his health, humor, and tenacity as he navigates the spotlight at nearly 90.
