The Oscar gala, presented by Jimmy Kimmel, was full of emotional moments, such as the broken voice of John Travolta during the presentation of “In memoriam”, the speech of Jamie Lee Curtis or the brilliant and applauded performances of Rihanna and Lady Gaga . There were also surprising moments such as the appearance of Margot Robbie, who appeared on stage without having crossed the red carpet.
The actress took the stage arm in arm with Morgan Freeman, who immediately attracted attention for a detail of her look that disturbed social network users. The 85-year-old actor wore a black tuxedo with a white shirt and black bow tie, but what didn’t go unnoticed was his black glove on his left hand.
A choice that was not linked to any incipient tendency to wear only one of the two gloves or to attract attention, but rather that the actor of The Shawshank Redemption wore it for a reason related to his health. “What’s wrong with your hand?” one could read on Twitter.
The use of the glove is related to the car accident Morgan was in in 2008. The actor was injured after his car flipped several times on a highway in Mississippi, USA. He sustained numerous wounds, the most serious in his left hand, which remained paralysed.
Doctors operated on her nerve and assured her that her hand would improve, but she has since been partially paralyzed. “I can’t move it and if you don’t move it, it swells up. Did you know that you move your hand a million times a day?” Freeman said in an interview with People magazine.
For his public appearances, the actor usually chooses to wear a glove, but it’s not just any model, but a compression glove to maintain blood circulation. In November, the accessory already attracted everyone’s attention at the opening ceremony of the World Cup in Qatar, where he wore a brown leather glove.
Freeman also went viral on networks for another surprising detail during the Oscars. There were many users who showed their surprise at the actor’s new look, who appeared on stage bald. “Morgan Freeman bald?” launched a user with a detailed face. And is that just a few days ago the actor revolutionized the networks with some impressive long dreadlocks.
