Morgan Freeman on Old White Men Presidents, Shawshank’s 30th Anniversary & He Narrates a Funny Video

Morgan talks about shaving his head, whether he feels like he gets wiser with age, losing his memory, living in the most dangerous time since we were attacked in 1941, wanting to move on from old white men being President, not being politically minded as a young man, meeting George H.W. Bush, playing the Secretary of State in “Lioness,” the 30th anniversary of The Shawshank Redemption, casting Tim Robbins, always getting a good response from inmates, and he narrates a funny video for us.

I can't believe that man is 87 years old.

He's still sharp and quick witted. what a legend.

[ASB]

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

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.

87 years old. Amazingly sharp. Amazingly present. Amazingly alert. Amazingly youthful. Can we all be Morgan Freeman when we grow up, please? 🙏🙏🙏

Freeman is a great example of what it is to age gracefully. Not diminished at all.

Morgan Freeman . . . one of the greatest!

He's one of the greatest actors. He has so much grace, charm and class. ❤❤❤❤

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 feel so fortunate to live during a very small spec in human history at the same time with legends like Mr. Freeman.

Morgan Freeman ~ an American Treasure!💝

[galex]

look, man… I‘m not american so I am just gonna say it: Morgan Freeman is not (just) a national treasure, he is a global treasure.

[HeleTCM]

Morgan Freeman made me laugh so hard with this interview. Amazing that he's still doing what he's doing at 87.

[charlenethompson]

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 🙏

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.

[haroldplante]

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.

[leevilchek]

I can listen to him speak for days❤not only his voice but his obvious intellect

[kwokfanfan]

Morgan Freeman and James Earl Jones are the best narrators for documentaries.
