Morgan Freeman recently enjoyed a rare night out at Giorgio Baldi in Santa Monica, Los Angeles, as he showed up for dinner with friends. He looked sharp in his buttoned shirt and black pants, accompanied by a baseball hat and a single compression glove.
This comes after the 87-year-old joked that he now primarily resides in LA— as in, lower Alabama. Although Freeman seems to have been avoiding the public eye lately, he is currently working on three movies, including the third installment of the Now You See Me series, where he plays Thaddeus Bradley.

While multiple movies starring Morgan are in the works ahead of 2025, he still maintains his roles in Lioness on Roku and Gunner. During an appearance on The Jennifer Hudson Show earlier this year, Morgan admitted that acting has been easy so far, but getting opportunities has been difficult.
This was a surprising statement from the renowned actor, whose career has spanned six decades so far. Even when show host Jennifer Hudson commended his achievements, he played it down, saying he hopes he is “not too far out from the ordinary.”
Morgan Freeman’s health
He has continued to work even though he suffered nerve damage due to an accident in 2008. His left arm, which he claims is unusable, was left badly injured, which explains the single compression glove he wears often. He noted that the unfortunate event changed his outlook on life, as he had to give up hobbies like sailing and flying planes.
Morgan has found new left-hand-friendly interests like golfing and still works just as hard. Two of his four kids, Alfonso and Deena Adair, have impressive show business careers, while his last, Morgana, is focused on entrepreneurship, charity work, and education.
