Morgan Freeman turned 87 this month, precisely on June 1. But a recent video of the iconic actor at Monte Carlo TV festival went viral Friday with fans gushing about him. In the video, he was seen in good spirit, smiling but his left hand was in gloves. Some social media users pointed out that Morgan Freeman has been wearing a compression glove for quite sometimes now as he developed fibromyalgia after a car accident in 2008.
“Morgan Freeman, he’s 87 and still knows how to slam Trump. Morgan Brieman even more so,” one user commented.
“Morgan Freeman has barely aged since the time I was a kid (he’s 87),” another user observed.


But what is the issue over Morgan Freeman’s glove?
At the 2022 World Cup or the 2023 Academy Awards, Morgan Freeman was spotted wearing a glove on his left hand. “It’s the fibromyalgia. Up and down the arm. That’s where it gets so bad. Excruciating,” Morgan explained in an interview.
According to reports, In 2008, Freeman was involved in a serious car accident while driving late at night in Mississippi. His car veered off the road, flipped several times, and ended up in a ditch. Morgan got permanent nerve damage and limited mobility. He was 71 then.
The actor sustained multiple broken bones and underwent surgery to repair his arm. This nerve damage resulted in limited mobility in his left hand, causing swelling that necessitated the use of a compression glove to manage his symptoms.
What is fibromyalgia?
It is a disorder characterized by widespread musculoskeletal pain accompanied by fatigue, sleep, memory and mood issues. This condition amplified painful sensations by affecting the way the brain and the spinal cord process painful and nonpainful signals.
