He was in a car accident in Mississippi... http://edition.cnn.com/2008/SHOWBIZ/Movies/08/04/morgan.freeman.accident/ he was awesome in Wanted.
So I watched Wanted and the Dark Knight recently, both of which I absolutely loved. (also just watched Gone Baby Gone on Saturday, and he was pretty good in that too). Then I was watching Shawshank for the 500th time this weekend on cable and realized that Morgan Freeman is probably in more of my favorite movies than any other actor, and to be honest, I don't even think it is close. Hope he gets better fast and gets back to picking great movies to be in.
He lives there in Charleston and owns a club and restaurant in Clarksdale called Ground Zero. He opened up another one in Memphis too, which is about an hour away.
se7en million dollar baby shawshank gone baby gone kiss the girls and along came a spider even the bucket list was pretty good. he's easily one of my favorite actors.
According to TMZ: Morgan Freeman may have fallen asleep at the wheel last night right before his bad car wreck. The actor was driving on Highway 32 in Tallahatchie County when he apparently lost control, flipping his car several times. WHBQ in Memphis is reporting Freeman was on his way home to Charleston when the smash-up happened. Bill Luckett, Freeman's friend and co-owner of Freeman's restaurant Madidi, said his buddy was sitting up and talking at the hospital. One source tells TMZ that Freeman has broken several ribs and injured his knee. His female passenger, we're told, had to be cut out of the car using the Jaws of Life. A source says she's suffering from bumps and bruises, but is "all in all in good condition." http://www.tmz.com/2008/08/04/freeman-possibly-asleep-at-the-wheel/
This is the curse of The Dark Knight. Heath = dead. Christian Bale = arrested. Morgan Freeman = car accident Maggie Gyllenhal = somebody obviously took a baseball bat to her face.
