Had the pleasure of meeting him about 20 years ago, blew me away that he kind of ignored all the "big wigs" and we talked for almost 2 hours. Something about him just melts your nerves away and makes you feel like your having a chat with your best friend.
My ex husband used to work for Morgan. He has always been the most gracious person I’ve ever met. Looking back at that time fills my heart with joy and I’m thrilled to see him continue to look toward the future.
I played Morgan Freeman's club, Ground Zero several years ago. I was onstage singing with my eyes closed and when I looked up Morgan was dancing right in front of me. He gave me a two finger point and a smile. I almost passed out...
I have a fun fantasy of meeting Mr. Morgan Freeman at his club & dancing with him, doing the bump to his Easy Reader theme song. Would also be great to yell, " Heyyy you guyyyysss!", with Ms. Rita Moreno.

Big fan of Morgan Freeman. Love his movies, his voice, his personality, and must have watched Shawshank more than 15 times over the years. Never gets old.
Electric Company! Thank you for the reminder for another who suffers from CRS! I have loved Mr. Freeman for so long I forgot why. From my childhood heart 💙 Thank you 🙏
I love Mr. Freeman and have watched everything he's done, including "Lioness". Even the documentaries he narrates are made so much more interesting with his voice. A national treasure he absolutely is. Loved him in "The Bucket list". I've watched it so many times and it still cracks me up, makes me smile and makes me cry. God be with you brother, You are loved.
@@christelletaljard4266 I haven't seen that yet. I'll put it on my must watch list right now. Thank you. I have read Mr. Mandela's story and his teachings.
As an old white man, I'm privileged to be alive. Morgan lives in Vermont, my maternal home. Winooski to be exact. I've never heard a harsh word on that man. He's a national treasure.
@@cjdig86 "I'm gonna stop calling you a white man and I'm gonna ask you to stop calling me a black man." - Morgan Freeman in his well known monologue after he was asked what he thinks about the Black history month. I thought he already solved racism by not talking about it. Guess I was wrong...
What a legend. Cool that he still does these things. I do hope Kimmel and other hosts treat him with patience and respect in his old age, because of course he will struggle more and more as the years go on, and he deserves the best. He's not just a national treasure, he's a global treasure.
They don't show driving miss daisy anymore I just happened to change the channel looked on the guide on strz and there it was I recorded it and watch from time to time what a gr8 movie.
I'm an American living in Vienna, Austria and they just showed Driving Miss Daisy about a month ago on cable here. I hadn't seen it in years. It really is a wonderful movie. I'd actually forgotten Dan Aykroyd was in it too, even he's in his 70s now lol.
I used to work in Hollywood and had the distinct privilege of meeting both of those men and unequivocally, they were both the most gracious down to earth people.
I remember watching The Bucket List on an airplane and by the time it was over I was crying thinking that these two great actors were probably in the last decade of their lives. Silly me, that was almost 20 years ago and they've both still here. Thank God.
How many times are you going to make this comment? Pretty much every man in America did the same things Morgan Freeman is accused of back in the day. That's the way it was then. Be thankful society has progressed a little bit and that Mr. Freeman unlike many men has progressed with it.
I have loved Morgan Freeman since I was a kid watching The Electric Company. Everyone always mentions Easy Reader, but I always go to him singing Dock of the Bay sitting in a rocking chair on I guess blue screened dock. The man has been and will always be a treasure.
God bless you Mr. Freeman you've brought us great entertainment, intriguing documentaries and warm grandfatherly wisdom over the years. You are appreciated 💜
I am a big fan of Morgan Freeman. I enjoy his movies and his unique voice. I enjoyed him on " Bucket list" the closest I got to him was taking a picture with him at the wax museum . May he live a long and prosperous life.
I loved everything about one film he was in. It was Morgan, Bruce Willis, John Malkovich, Karl Urban, Helen Mirren, Mary-Louise Parker, Brian Cox, and Richard Dreyfuss, plus a bunch of other great people. The film was RED. It was an intrigue, comedy, rom-com, farce, action, adventure, fantasy, whatever. It was a great film with an incredible cast. You never think you will get that sort of cast together in one place. Here you did,and they were brilliantly wonderfully outrageous, as they should have been. Everyone got their moments to shine,and they did so without detracting from anyone else's moments.
@A0A4ful Correct. I consider this film to be one of the most egregiously underrated films in Hollywood history. It received no Oscar buzz in any category, not even effects or lighting or anything else. Yet some of the films that get Oscars I want to scream. Marissa Tomei gave the performance of her career and deserved her Oscar, but many come up short. I am still working on how Slumdog Millionaire was the best picture. All the films out there that year, and the best picture, was a foreign language Bollywood film. Make it the best foreign language film, but not the best picture.
I saw Deep Impact in the theatre when it was released. Some people gasped or made other audible noises when he was presented in the movie as the US President. I guess they couldn't comprehend a black man being president. It was 1997, years before Obama became President.
@@Whoeverwhateverwhenever she’s saying he has basically looked the same as far as she can remember in her 19 yrs of life!! How the heck did u think she meant HE looks 19? 😂😂😂

This is just going to turn into a trend of old people getting insulted and it’s weirdly pathetic.
Bravo Bravo Mr. Freeman! I've known you my whole life (starting with your Easy Reader role on Electric Company) You are The Man! Respect and Admiration abounds in my heart for you, sir.
I can't believe that man is 87 years old.
He's still sharp and quick witted. what a legend.
Yeah I was going to say the exact same thing but your comment was right there. Morgan is amazing.
My jaw dropped when he said 87. Obviously thinking younger.
He is definitely 87
Living legend! Always tells it like it is.
I think it is a mixture of good genes and intelligence. He clearly has a hunger to read and learn.
Such a legend. Shawshank is one of my favorite movies. I can’t believe he is 87. Amazing.

There are two very distinct voices of Hollywood that once hear it you never forget. Morgan Freeman and James Earle Jones. Iconic
And Sam Elliott.
@@reca5038 Arnold has to be in this conversation, as well.
And sadly one of them recently passed...
I believe Sean Connery can safely be put right up there with distinctive voices all kinds of people look forward to hearing.
I would also put Sidney Poitier in that category such a distinguished man, umm his voice RIP 💫
Freeman is a great example of what it is to age gracefully. Not diminished at all.
He is aging very well, and he's absolutely awesome, but come on… he just got finished telling you his memory is totally shot.
You haven't read the allegations then.
@@NEbluefire If he rmembers that his memory is shot, he's got a better memory than those who can't remmber that their mmories are shot.
Unlike trump!!
Kind people age well. Thats why he looks fantastic!

He was so groovy!
I suffer from C.R.A.F.T. (can't remember a f***ing thing!)😂
I, personally think it is Morgan Freeman’s personal conviction to do what he feels is good in the eyes of our collective souls.
I was 4 years old when I watched him on Electric Company. I'm now 57.
😊😊
Morgan Freeman the findest narrations ever. Shawshank Redemption- the best film. I still watch it a couple times a year. ❤❤❤

I loved him in Driving Ms Daisy, the relationship was rocky in the beginning, but a strong relationship developed.
He was brilliant in “Glory”
'Under Suspicion', was a master class in acting. He and Gene Hackman, kept me on the edge of my seat !
A much under-rated movie.

It is not the best movie ever. Definitely.
