Morgan Freeman’s left hand has been working with lasting effects from a severe car accident in 2008. He sustained nerve damage and injuries to the arm that left him with limited movement in that hand, and he has since typically worn a compression glove to manage pain, swelling, and blood flow. He has explained that the nerve damage has been permanent for his left hand, influencing his day-to-day activities and some public appearances, including noticeable use of the glove at high-profile events like awards ceremonies. This is not a loss of the hand; rather, permanent nerve and mobility limitations in the left hand, managed with supportive measures such as the glove.
