Reports have emerged regarding Morgan Freeman’s unfortunate medical emergency, which prevented him from attending the press event for his highly anticipated spy thriller, Special Ops: Lioness. Freeman’s spokesperson revealed to The Daily Mail that the 86-year-old actor is indisposed and receiving medical care.

“Morgan has a fever, and his doctor felt he had a contagious infection, so he canceled his trip,” Freeman’s spokesperson told the news outlet, “He is fine now.”

Before now, the 86-year-old had been silently battling an unannounced medical condition that only a few fans noticed. However, it became evident on March 12, 2023, when he took the world stage alongside Margot Robbie to present a tribute to Warner Bros at the Academy Awards. While some viewers noticed his receding hairline, others found it peculiar that he wore a distinctive glove.

Following the observation, fans took to social media to ask questions. It was revealed that Freeman wore the compression glove to promote circulation in his arm, as he had sustained nerve damage from a car accident in 2008. Freeman sustained nerve damage in the lower left arm and hand, resulting in a loss of mobility.
