The Dark Knight, The Shawshank Redemption, and Million Dollar Baby star Morgan Freeman, 85, was involved in a near-fatal car accident in Mississippi in 2008 that left him with lasting nerve damage.

Freeman had to undergo a four-hour operation to fix his left shoulder, arm, and elbow after emergency personnel used the jaws of life to free him from his Nissan Maxima. Freeman disclosed that he had nerve damage and was unable to move his left hand in a 2010 interview with People.

He frequently wears a compression glove because fibromyalgia, a persistent ailment marked by widespread pain, tiredness, and numbness, prevents blood from flowing to his hand. In a 2012 interview with Esquire, Freeman talked about the pain of the condition, which he called “excruciating,” “an icy shot up a relatively useless limb.”
He had to learn to play golf and swing with one hand, as well as give up activities he enjoyed, like flying and boating. Freeman has been working despite his illness, making appearances in action films including Red, Oblivion, Now You See Me, The Hitman’s Wife, and Bodyguard.
Freeman has narrated films like March of the Penguins and The Story of God with Morgan Freeman in addition to his career as an actor. Lady Gaga is another famous person who has fibromyalgia.
