With an instantly recognizable voice and a long and storied career in film, Morgan Freeman is a true fan favorite around the world. Here are two fun facts about Morgan Freeman that you may not have known.
He wears an earring because it’s worth enough money to bury him if he dies in a foreign country. Let’s be honest here, Morgan Freeman doesn’t need to worry about money. He’s an avid sailor, “a dyed-in-the-wool blue-water man” as he told The Guardian in an interview with Simon David, and he wears an earring in tribute to the sailors who wore them for their value, being worth just enough to purchase a coffin bury them in a foreign land should they die away from home.
Not only is he an avid sailor, but he’s sailed through dangerous storms. Describing his experiences in the very same Guardian interview, Freeman states: “There comes a moment when you think you may not get through, and in that moment there's a peacefulness that settles over you and you're no longer afraid. That's also the moment when you have to say, ‘I'm going to face this demon. I'm going to stand up and I'm going to do what I have to do. Not just by lying down and letting the sea wash over me, but by fighting it.’”
