Morgan Freeman’s recent television appearance has sparked fan concern about his health.
On Monday (November 3), Freeman appeared on The Jennifer Hudson Show, where he kicked off his interview with what fans are describing as a concerning walk down the iconic "spirit tunnel."
As staff members lined the hallway singing and cheering for Freeman, social media users couldn't help but notice that the 88-year-old actor was moving more slowly and appeared to be more fragile than in his past public appearances.
A video of Freeman's spirit tunnel walk circulated online and sparked concern about his health.
“He looks so tired, bless him,” one viewer commented.
“I thought he was gonna fall over any minute,” another said.
“He looked like he didn’t know where he was… I love Morgan Freeman,” a third fan added.
Freeman’s walk down the “spirit tunnel” ended with the actor seemingly trying to regain his balance against a wall, another moment that fueled concern among fans. Still, Freeman, dressed burgundy shirt, plaid jacket, and red scarf, was all smiles as he made his way to the stage to sit down with host Jennifer Hudson.
“He’s 88 years old and still walking, still working, still showing up. That’s a blessing,” one commenter wrote.
“He’s been old my whole life — but now he’s really showing his age, and that’s okay,” another comment reads.
“We’ve watched Morgan Freeman play God, a president, a mentor, and a hero,” one social media user chimed in. “Now we’re just watching a legend grow old — and that’s something beautiful in itself.”
