There’s only one Morgan Freeman.
The famously chill actor doesn’t see it that way, though.
Freeman admitted, “I’ve had moments when I wished my career had gotten started earlier.
I could have done more active stuff.
But I’m also grateful that it got started when it did because there are no guarantees.
It didn’t have to get started at all.”
These days, of course, there’s no denying Freeman’s icon status.
When asked byInterview magazinehow he feels about his trajectory, the prolific performer responded simply: “Ecstatic.
It couldn’t be better.”
One of his most beloved roles, however, doesn’t even show Freeman onscreen.
Likewise, Freeman’s irresistible enthusiasm while watching the penguins makes him an ideal fit for the material.
He has turned his attention elsewhere, in fact, withFreeman notably narrating an audiobook, too.
Moreover, as Freeman argued, “I don’t think that any voice is a natural gift.
Someone helps you get it.”
O’Brien was shocked, wondering what Freeman’s original voice sounded like.
He revealed, “It was high.
I had a very thick Southern accent.
I was raised in Mississippi.”
As Freeman learned, “Most people talk a bit higher than their normal [voice].”
Naturally, it worked out well for him, since everybody knows Freeman’s voice now.
