Prior to a publicity outing, Lioness star Morgan Freeman fell ill.
In spite of missing a few stops on the press tour for his upcoming television series Special Ops: Lioness, in which he co-stars with Zoe Saldana and Nicole Kidman, Morgan Freeman is reported to be “fine” following his illness.
Strangely, the actor skipped a photocall with Zoe and Nicole, a series screening, and an appearance on the British program The One Show. As host Alex Jones acknowledged on the program, Morgan’s cancellation was unexpected because he was scheduled to appear tonight. We regret that he was unable to attend at the last minute. “.
What prevented Morgan, an 86-year-old actor, from traveling was a contagious infection, his spokeswoman revealed to the British tabloid The Mirror.
He is currently fine.
He is not infectious any longer because the infection has subsided. “.
The Shawshank Redemption actor made the decision to remain in the United States because of his illness rather than take the chance of infecting others while abroad. The specifics of Morgan’s condition are still unknown, though.
Since a car accident in 2008, Morgan has battled fibromyalgia, which is described by the Mayo Clinic as a “disorder characterized by widespread musculoskeletal pain accompanied by fatigue, sleep, memory, and mood issues.”. “.
After an incident “such as physical trauma, surgery, infection, or significant psychological stress,” the illness can manifest. The Hollywood actor underwent surgery after his car accident.
He fractured his left arm, shoulder, and elbow in the accident, and doctors had to operate on him for four hours to repair nerve damage. On her injured arm, Morgan continues to wear a compression glove to promote blood flow.
“I suffered nerve damage and it hasn’t gotten better,” Morgan said in 2010 in reference to his hand.
I can’t move it, unfortunately.
Inaction will cause your hand to swell. Did you know that every day, your hand moves about a million times?
In the soon-to-be released Paramount+ series Special Ops: Lioness, Morgan will portray US Secretary of State Edwin Mullins. The show centers on female Marine Laysla De Oliveira, who is accused of making friends with a suspected terrorist’s daughter.
In addition to Morgan, Zoe Saldana plays Joe, the station chief in charge of the CIA’s Lioness Engagement Team, and Nicole Kidman plays Kaitlyn Meade, a CIA agent who deals with senior government officials. The series also stars Martin Donovan, Sam Asghari, James Jordan, LaMonica Garrett, Jill Wagner, Dave Annable, and Michael Kelly.
It is unclear if the show will be renewed for a second season, but the first season will only have eight episodes.
Special Ops: Lioness will make its Paramount+ debut on July 23, 2023.
