Three years after a car accident in North Mississippi that left him and a companion hospitalized -- and spawned an embarrassing legal mess -- Memphis-born actor Morgan Freeman still has yet to regain use of his left hand, he said this week on "Live With Regis & Kelly."
The veteran actor broke his arm and shoulder when he lost control of his vehicle while driving in Mississippi in August, 2008. The car veered off the road and flipped over several times.
He has been disabled ever since the accident and doctors advised him last year (10) that it would take another 12 months before his stretched nerves would fully function once more.
But, during an appearance on U.S. talk show Live with Regis & Kelly on Tuesday (27Sep11), Freeman admitted his mangled fingers were taking a lot longer to heal.
Wearing a supportive glove throughout the interview, he explained, "It's coming along, it looks a little odd with this glove on..."
Even more embarrassing are the recent news articles. First, he smack-talked BHO and unfairly accused the Tea Party of being racists. Then it was announced that he's engaged to his 29 y.o. step-granddaughter. Creepy.
Check yourself, Morgan.
