Golden Globe winning Actor Morgan Freeman, promotion for his upcoming film “Prom night in Mississippi” is gaining attention, but maybe not for his acting. It seems people are noticing the Actors left hand, which is still limp from an accident in 2008. Some people even thinking that his hand is a fake.

Freeman was in his Nissan Maxima near Ruleville, Mississippi on August 3, 2008 when the car left the highway flipping several times. His passenger in the car with him Demaris Meyer, was later to be rescued from the car using the jaws of life. Freeman was airlifted to a hospital in Memphis. Police ruled out alcohol as a factor in the accident. He broke his shoulder, arm and elbow in the accident, and suffered nerve damage in which he had surgery for.

Freeman told he press around the time, ” I wound up with a lot of nerve damage in my arm, so the hand is still paralyzed. So until the nerves get down there…” While promoting the Prom Night film a Canadian interviewer reported when interviewing Freeman, that he was “reclining on the couch” and his “left hand was limp and swaddled in a tan glove due to injuries sustained in an August 2008 car crash.”
