Far from being all about style, it turns out that Morgan Freeman often opts for a glove on his left hand as a result of a car accident he was involved in back in 2008. The terrifying accident saw Freeman’s car flip multiple times and he was airlifted to the hospital after suffering a broken arm and a broken shoulder. The star underwent surgery on his left hand and arm in an attempt to reconnect the damaged nerves, with his spokesperson sharing in a statement that the surgery took more than four hours, but Freeman was doing well immediately after.
Thankfully, Freeman was mainly okay following the terrifying accident that could have been so much worse, though he experienced some nerve damage as a result. In a candid conversation with Kingdom, the actor explained that, in the aftermath of the accident, he’s only able to do some things, like play sports, with one hand. “[The nerve damage] hasn’t gotten better. I can’t move it. If you don’t move your hand, it will swell up,” he shared. “Do you know you move your hand about a million times a day?”

It’s thought the single gloves Freeman can often be seen sporting are likely compression gloves which help maintain the blood circulation in his arm and hand.
