Morgan Freeman’s injured hand

While watching the Grammys Sunday night, I noticed that there is one thing that bothered me during Morgan Freeman's intro for "his good friend Kenny Chesney."

I asked myself, “What was with the glove that Freeman was wearing on his left hand?”

Why is the normally slick and well dressed actor wearing an accessory as ugly as that? Surely there must be a reason right?

Well it turns out that there is a good reason why he wears that glove. Five months after a serious car crash in Mississippi, Morgan Freeman is still without the use of his left hand.



He tells Access Hollywood in an interview that,

“I wound up with a lot of nerve damage in my arm, so the hand is still paralyzed,” Freeman told Access. “So until the nerves get down there…”

As previously reported on AccessHollywood.com, the actor and friend Demaris Meyer were involved in an accident last August that saw his vehicle flip over, while heading to Freeman’s home in Charleston, Mississippi.

Following the crash, Freeman underwent surgery to repair his broken arm, broken elbow and minor shoulder damage.

As one christian magazine noted, it can be remembered that Freeman played God in both Bruce Almighty and Evan Almighty. I almost thought that he was as indestructible also – guess I was wrong.
