Morgan Freeman Seriously injured in car accident

Sign in to disble this ad
Very Sad I have always enjoyed the characters he portrays in his movies.....hope he pulls through

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080804/...morgan_freeman



Sad to hear how people are still trying to snap his pic in this situation and he obviously has to make light of it to keep himself in good spirits......then again they do say laughter is the best medicine.

If Freeman was in good enough condition to joke with the rescuers, that's probably an encouraging sign....I hope.

I hope he gets better. No other actor is capable of playing the role of Morgan Freeman (the old wise friend) like Morgan Freeman.

sounds like a cool guy in person too, just how I always imagined him to react in such a situation...


hope he pulls through, he deserves to, and he's a top notch actor...

Me and a friend of mine has a theory:If Morgan Freeman is in a movie,it can not be bad. I'd watch every movie he plays in because I know that movie IS good.

Hope he gets well soon,he's a special actor for sure.

You have Heath Ledger dead, Christian Bale accused of assaulting his mother and sister and Morgan Freeman in a car crash.

What is up with The Dark Knight? Is it like another Poltergeist?

Actually I heard that all got sorted out. It was something about he was staying in a hotel and his mother and sister showed up really drunk and started demanding money from him and causing all this trouble. His mom started insulting him and his wife and he got mad and yelled at her. The mom and sister then pressed assault charges.

Kinda messed up!
