Chris Jones, a multi-time All Pro defensive tackIe with the Kansas City Chiefs, became one of the top trends on X Sunday when he appeared to tear up during Reba McEntire’s rendition of the national anthem at Super Bowl LVIII.
The broadcast of McEntire’s anthem received largely rave reviews on social media despite some slight audio issues.
It repeatedly cut between McEntire and troops depIoyed overseas in South Korea, as well as the Las Vegas dome, which was decorated with the American flag.
The broadcast also cut to a number of pIayers, including 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy and Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce. Jones stole the show, however, as the national anthem appeared to make him emotional.
“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.
