“I Can’t Move It,” the Real Reason Morgan Freeman Wore Only One Glove at the Oscars

When Morgan Freeman escorted Margot Robbie on stage at the 2023 Oscars, his left arm caught the attention of many. In fact, the 85-year-old actor wore an elbow-length satin black glove, which raised many concerns. And the reason behind it goes back to a heartbreaking event that transformed Freeman’s life 15 years ago.

Back in 2008, the Shawshank Redemption star was injured in a serious car accident that left him with a paralyzed left hand.

After the crash, Freeman had to undergo a 4-hour surgery in order to deal with his broken left shoulder, arm, and elbow.

A couple of years after the unfortunate event, the acclaimed actor opened up about his struggle, saying ’’I suffered nerve damage, and it hasn’t gotten better, I can’t move it.’’

He added, ’’If you don’t move your hand, it will swell up. Do you know you move your hand about a million times a day?’’

And even though doctors had reassured him that his hand would get better by 2011, this unfortunately didn’t happen to be the case.

Freeman ended up with permanent nerve damage and is still unable to wiggle his fingers.

And it seems that even 15 years later, the Oscar-winning actor is still dealing with the consequences of his accident, as we saw him wearing a glove during the ceremony.

According to experts, the compression glove works by lightly squeezing the veins in one’s hand to support blood circulation and can even help to manage tingling, pain, and swelling.

(VIDEO) Lip Reader Deciphers What Travis Kelce Yelled at Andy Reid During Super Bowl 58 Sideline Clash

During the second quarter of the Super Bowl, Isiah Pacheco fumbled inside the red zone while Travis Kelce was off the field, prompting his frustration.

The Chiefs tight end swiftly approached head coach Andy Reid and passionately expressed his discontent. Kelce’s actions caused Reid to take a few steps back.

Despite attempts to decipher their exchange in repIay, Kelce’s exact words to Reid remained unclear.

However, a professional lip reader later revealed Kelce’s message: “Keep me in. You (expletive)! I’m calm now!” according to The Daily Mail.

Following Kansas City’s overtime victory against the 49ers in the Super Bowl, both Travis Kelce and Andy Reid addressed the viral confrontation between them.

Reid downplayed the incident, expIaining that Kelce caught him off guard, leaving him unbalanced. He also mentioned that Kelce apoIogized afterward, emphasizing the tight end’s competitive nature and love for the game.

Kelce, during ESPN’s postgame show, humorously acknowledged the incident, hinting at keeping it private unless his mic’d up segment revealed otherwise. He jokingIy stated he was expressing his love for Reid during their exchange.

After a slow start with just one catch for 1 yard in the first half, Kelce’s performance improved dramatically after haIftime and a memorable Usher show. He finished the game with nine catches for 93 yards, contributing significantly to the Chiefs’ victory.

Kelce’s 93 receiving yards led the team, making him only the third player in NFL history to lead three different Super BowI champions in receiving yards, joining Jerry Rice and Michael Irvin.
